Fabulous. Go read this. It’s Anthony Bourdain being acerbic, what more do you need?

The Earl Grey ice cream? HORRIBLE. It tastes incredibly fake. R☆ said, and I agree, that it somehow tastes even faker than those milk teas we love so dearly (no bubbles, please). And beyond the taste is the texture. I’m not sure what I did, but I ended up making what is essentially butter clumps in it. I melted the ice cream, strained it, and refreezed it, but I guess I just made new butter. It’s weird. And disheartening. I guess I’ll just go over to Ice Cream Ireland and read in awe, because I am failing at this stuff.
