I don't honestly remember it from when I was young. I must have eaten it and probably liked it, but I just don't really recall how I felt about it. I do know though, that now, I like it a lot.

>Dairy Queen ice cream is made from whole milk, cream, milk solids, sugar, vanilla, and a natural stabilizer. It is pasteurized and homogenized. It comes to the store in a liquid form and is pumped into the machine where it is frozen down to 18º F for serving. Dairy Queen mix contains only 5% butterfat (the same as it has been since 1940) while ice cream and frozen custard are 10% or more. So, DQ soft serve has fewer calories.

>>True. Since the advent of soft ice cream, I suppose they are probably edible now. By the way, I don't know if it's different in the U.S., but here, the Dairy Queens serve ice milk, not ice cream. McDonalds too. Afaic, the soft ice milk is McDonalds' only edible product. In fact, it's usually very good.

>>>Have you ever had a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait? It's made with soft serve vanilla icecream (so no using your fingers), fudge, and peanuts layered in a parfait class. Yum :o)

>>>>>>Anyone who ever worked in any food processing plant will never eat the food they worked with. Once you see how it's made and what goes into it, you'll never eat it again. I'm the same about ice cream parfait since I worked in a very exclusive club where we made and served it when I was a kid.

>>>>>What's cream parfait?
>>>>
>>>>Ice cream parfait. You take ice cream and jam it down into the bottom of one of those parfait glasses. Then you add fruit (strawberry maybe) and whipped cream. The glass is an upside down cone shape - very narrow at the bottom, wider at the top. The only way to jam the ice cream down into the glass is with your fingers. When I first got there, I was aghast when being shown how to do it, and said so. The guy told me, "Ok, so find a better way." I tried all sorts of kitchen utensils including parfait spoons. I finally ended up using my fingers the same as everybody else was doing.

>>>>>What's peameal?

>>>>Peameal bacon is lean back bacon, cured and rolled in cornmeal (which is what 'peameal' really is) and then sliced so that each slice of bacon is encrusted with peameal around it's outside edge.
