I don’t recall anyone eating any other dairy-based dish to diet. The standard “diet plate” was a big leaf of lettuce with a lump of cottage cheese in the middle and canned peaches around it.
Not a huge fan of the salty taste folks have been throwing in ice cream lately. A little salt is fine, but salt forward for desserts is not preferred IMO. Went to a place called Jeni’s Splendid Ice cream in Charleston and they had Everything Bagel ice cream. I sampled it and it tasted like an everything bagel. They said it was the most sampled and least ordered ice cream. That’s because it’s salty frozen milk, not dessert. Jeni’s however was wonderful otherwise and I would recommend though it was quite expensive at $40 for 4 of us to get ice cream.
I am the VP of the anti-old decrepid grapes club so they shouldn’t go anywhere near any dessert.
Oh wait, bacon on dessert is questionable. I’m sure it can be good somehow but eating just chocolate-covered bacon or bacon on a doughnut with the bacon cold and congealed has always been gross to me.
My freshmen year at college, the dorm food was mediocre at best, and the portions served were small - but there always was a reasonable salad bar available as a supplement. I took to cottage cheese and peaches/pears/applesauce at that time.
I feel like they are in different categories. Snickers bars are rich and satisfying and can make a good solid snack or light lunch. Milky way bars taste better to me, but they are just a candy bar.
Sprinkles are fun. They don’t have enough flavor to matter, but they add visual and textual interest.
(By themselves, they taste sweet. But they aren’t enough sweeter than what they are sprinkled on to act as a sweet accent.) I don’t usually get sprinkles. If i want to add something to the ice cream or cake, there’s usually something i like more. But they are fine when they are present.
