Oh WOW! I bet the cocoa nibs were fantastic too. Vanilla, cocoa, and salt – what a great trio!

Hi there! Love reading your blog. For an inspiration, I wanted to let you know about one of my favorite desserts ever, from t’afia, here in Houston. (www.tafia.com). Caramel semi-freddo with candied lemon and balsamic syrup. Your article reminded me of it because of the juxtaposition between sweet and tangy/salty/tart.

Very ouch indeed. And it’s a no salt diet or as close to as I can get. Damned kidneys. It is hard, really hard, especially when you start taking note of how much salt is in EVERYTHING.
I’ll get to work on the bumper sticker for you. I’ll be sure to add it to my cafepress stuff.

Seriously… you’re trying to kill me right? I’m on this stupid “no salt diet” imposed by my doctor and I’m really fighting the urge to stuff my face with every salty food that comes my way. (At this point, I’d be willing to punch a toddler for a pickle.) This… this makes me want to cry. Salty. Sweet. Ice cream. Everything I love. *sigh*

Ouch- no salt vs low salt? Gee that seems hard long term.
I’d “punch a toddler for a pickle” – love it! That has got to be a bumper sticker or something!

You outdid yourself on the description of flavor this time! So fun to read. This treat would have to be a step up from the Ruffles potato chips dipped in softened butter pecan ice cream I loved as a kid…the salty crisp combined with the creamy sweet…so good!

Crushed pretzels on vanilla ice cream isn’t half bad either!

We had the Pangasinan Star finishing salt and it was really interesting. Very subtle and kind of a fruity champagne flavor that really brought out the floral qualities of the vanilla ice cream.

I grew up in a household that didn’t really use salt. I was taught that salt was for boiling water and seasoning beans and that’s it.

The experience with the ice cream shows tells me that I need to expand my horizons a bit.

Mmm nice flavor description there.
I think I’m going to break down and go visit the Meadow tomorrow. And then get ice cream(s).

Salt party?

Thanks for sharing! I love reading about unique foods you don’t see everyday! Do they sell their ice cream, or was it just at this fair you went to? I don’t see it on their Web site.

The ice cream was simply a vanilla one. I don’t believe they sell it. The salt was added individually to the serving.
