31 Flavors of Awesome

Have I mentioned that Baskin Robbins is all the rage in Korea? They revere it so much that it is exclusively referred to as “Baskin Robbins 31” in order to maintain its honorable status. That was a load of bull, but they do always call it by the full name. Have I also mentioned that I can eat ice cream in Korea??? It’s amazing. Something to do with lactose-free milk or some fancy jazz. Although Cold Stone Creamery has officially arrived and taken over as top recipient of my hard earned ice cream cash, Baskin Robbins 31 has something that I have been meaning to try for ages, but just got around to actually trying last night.

Melted chocolate + ice cream balls + fruit + long fancy forks = …ice cream fondue!!

This was as delicious as it looks, minus the cherry tomatoes. I read something once: “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.” Koreans definitely do not share our view of “wisdom” on this one. Tomatoes in chocolate? With ice cream? No, not okay.

Currently Loving: not making lunch for myself anymore! I’ve given in and started eating Korean school lunch everyday.

Currently Missing: Pita Pit…I can’t get it out of my head!
