« When will herring get respect? | Main | Instant kitchen » Monday, October 2, 2006What, no brisket ice cream?For those observing Yom Kippur today, here's a suggestion on how to break the fast: a giant post-atonement ice cream cone! For the holiday, J.P. Licks is offering two new flavors: noodle kugel ice cream and Manischewitz sorbet. Bubbe would approve. The noodle kugel flavor includes sweetened noodles, butter, cinnamon, and the tiniest bit of nutmeg. "It was just a question of whose grandmother's recipe we were going to go with," says founder Vince Petryk. For instance, should the ice cream include raisins? And if so, golden or brown? They eventually settled on a raisin-free version. (Kugel without raisins? Say it isn't so!) According to Petryk, the noodles take on a great texture in the ice cream: a little stiff at first, then softening in the mouth. As for the sorbet, it includes naught but good ol' Manischewitz, water, sugar, and a touch of citric acid to keep you from going into total sugar shock. Petryk says the idea was sparked by the debate at holiday tables between older family members, who insist on Manischewitz, and younger ones, who are in favor of the newer, finer kosher wines. The flavors, Petryk says, were "born out of fondness and humor." They'll be in stores till the end of the month, then back next year and possibly for other Jewish holidays. We think Petryk is onto something, so Vince, if you're listening, here are a few other suggestions: Hillel sandwich ice cream, a Passover flavor: apples, cinnamon, walnuts, and horseradish, with matzo chips. Matzo ball soup sundae: a scoop of chicken and carrot sorbet served alongside two matzo balls and sprinkled with parsley. Gefilte fish ice cream: enough said. Posted by Devra First at 11:16 AM
