Friday\u2026 I\u2019m not looking at my spreadsheet right now, so I don\u2019t know for sure what today\u2019s theme is supposed to be. I would venture a guess that it\u2019s \u201cwildcard 2\u201d as I\u2019m positive that I don\u2019t have a day of the week dedicated specifically to ice cream.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, today\u2019s review is of ice cream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapman\u2019s shortbread ice cream! It\u2019s something different! I\u2019ve gotten extremely used to peppermint\/candy cane ice cream being a thing during the holiday season over the years, but shortbread is new to me. At least, if I\u2019ve had it before, it was completely unmemorable. And that\u2019s kind of how I felt about it now, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a lazy, single guy, I plopped down on the couch and started scooping the ice cream right out of the bucket. My first impression was that it was just vanilla with a very faint hint of caramel. That\u2019s not shortbread at all. But then, after digging down deep enough, I hit something solid. It turned out to be a giant hunk of shortbread cookie. It\u2019s almost literally what\u2019s pictured on the bucket, only buried in the ice cream, rather than sticking out the top. I have a feeling that they just took the one cookie, snapped it in half, and mixed the chunks in, because it kind of seems like there were only the two. Truth be told, I haven\u2019t eaten all that much of this ice cream yet, so there may yet be more to uncover. I still think it\u2019s really strange that it\u2019s giant hunks of cookie, rather than mashed up bits of cookie that are distributed more evenly.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end if the day, it\u2019s alright. Perfectly adequate, but nothing special. There\u2019s no doubt that I would have been more satisfied with the candy cane ice cream, but that\u2019s so played out and I wanted something different for this feature. I won\u2019t be buying this shortbread ice cream again, but mostly because I almost never buy ice cream. I literally only did so for the sake of having something to write about. It\u2019s fine; I wouldn\u2019t give it the heartiest recommendation, but you could do much worse.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
