My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy the ice cream while it's on your plate.
~ Thornton Wilder

Ice cream is a pretty great creation. And all the ways we work with it and create with it and build upon it. You can do a lot with ice cream. Some people really like it. A LOT. Some people kind of like it. a little. Others can't have it because they are lactose intolerant. Which I hate. I can't stand intolerance.
At the end of the year there is a peppermint ice cream that Leslie really likes. She rarely eats ice cream. Or any dessert. But she likes this particular ice cream. Last year was the first time I had tried it.
"Mmmm," she said. "Isn't it so good?"
I nodded.
"It's better than West Virginia," she added.
"What?" I asked only because her comment made no sense to me.
"West Virginia is almost heaven. This is better."
