World's greatest ice cream

What do you do for excitement in Sewanee? You go out for ice cream, of course. There's a new ice cream parlor in town this year, the Mountain Breeze. It serves Clumpies ice cream, produced in Chattanooga, which if it isn't the world's greatest, is in the running. Or is that only because I'm on vacation? 

I have two facts for you: ...

a) It contains 16 percent butterfat.

b) It's produced in 10 gallon batches. 

I recommend the French silk made with tiny chips of chocolate.  

Impressively the Mountain Breeze doesn't mess around with frozen yogurt and such. It just does the pure, old-fashioned ice cream experience: cones, floats, milkshakes, and sundaes in tulip-shaped glass dishes.

(If you don't believe me that Clumpies is good, try it yourself. The Web site says the company is going to start shipping its ice cream soon.)

I won't say that mine is the best, but last night I made a batch of rum raisin ice cream that was almost too good to eat. But, I ate it anyway.....lol. Hope you continue to enjoy your vacation!
