Last month the NY Times Wirecutter taste testers wanted to determine the best vanilla ice cream in the world. They tasted all the cool ones. Five tasters tested 16 vanilla ice creams blind. Their conclusion? A 40 plus year old vanilla made by a couple of guys in a Vermont gas station. Yes - those guys. And a short time later, a food guru named Peter Lind joined the company and helped create the big ones - Chunky Monkey, Rainforest Crunch and Cookie Dough - my daughter’s favorite. But before all of them - there was vanilla. Peter Lind takes us through the history. I interviewed him on my VT Viewpoint radio show on WDEV last week and wanted to get this exciting episode to you ASAP. It was so much fun.
