    Welcome back to the friendly confines of the Cooking Echo.

    Thanks for the friendly welcome. :-)

    I was offline to go on a three week walkabout. I was exposed to many culinary delights, the most novel of which was the idea of topping
    vanilla icecream with basalmic vinegar.

    Where did you find that treat? I thought that vinegar on I scream was
    a British thing.

    Corvallis, Oregon. Thanks for the clue about its origin, and for the
    recipe. What would you say is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

    You're going to make my head explode .... or at least give me a brain
    cramp. I don't recall ever meating an ice cream that I did not like. If
    I had to pick a favourite it would probably be something chocolatey.

    Like Blue Bunny's No-Sugar-Added Super Fudge Brownie ... which I was
    put onto by my Registered Dietician when I was first diagnosed diabetic.

    It's as good as the Edy's/Bryer product (Nestle) which I was doing
    before my croaker told me I was "extra sweet."

    You're funny :-)

    I decided to explore the no-sugar-added section of the local grocery store. They have many options. Most of the brands are sweetened with Acesulfame Potassium, which i probably don't want to eat. I found one brand sweetened with monkfruit and bought a pint of butter pecan. :-9 I like that flavor,
    but i think my favorite flavor is pistachio.

    I also like to dish up a bowl of whole milk yogurt and add frozen blueberries with about a 2:1 ratio of yogurt to blueberries. It almost instantly turns into frozen yogurt from the coldness of the berries, and it is a treat to eat without any sweetener.

    Blue Bunny use a product (maybe propietary) called "Sweet Freedom" which
    is made from 100% fruit. No laboratory chemicals involved.

    It's available, like almost everything else, from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Freedom-Original-Sweetener-350/dp/B0088B02EM

    Never thought of that. Good idea. I used to get Mickey D's Fruit 'n'
    Yogurt Parfait for a quick lunch sometimes. But they binned it in 2020.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: McDonald's Yogurt Parfait
    Categories: Five, Dairy, Fruits, Grains
    Yield: 4 servings

    4 c Vanilla low-fat yogurt
    10 oz Frozen strawberries w/added
    - sugar; sliced, thawed
    1/3 c Frozen blueberries; thawed
    1/2 c Granola

    Pour 1/2 cup of yogurt into the bottom of a parfait cup
    or tall glass. Add 1/2 cup of strawberries on top of the
    yogurt.

    Add 1 tablespoon of blueberries into the glass. Then,

    NOTE: Yoplait is the original brand used. But, any of
    the low-fat vanilla yogurt brands will work.
