I eat a lot of ice cream. I like to combine peanut butter cup and mint oreo cookie. It makes no sense to me. Why would these seemingly different flavors go well together? And it is beyond going well. These flavors make each other better. I spent a lot of time thinking about this today. I was eating ice cream. When I separated the element of ice cream from the ingredients the connection made more sense. Peanuts and mint are not strange plate fellows. They are instrumental supporting characters in Thai cooking. If we look further at nuts and herbs pesto jumps to the front of the line. So pine nut cup ice cream with basil oreo ice cream is not a stretch. It just sounds different.
