Sweet & Salty - Gator Days

Sweet & Salty - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and his friends are all have ice cream. Gustopher: Here's the ice cream! Olivia: YES! Pass the salt! Panel 2 Liam and Hannah are mildly bewildered at this statement. Neither of them are sure why someone would want salt with their ice cream. Liam: Why do you need salt? Olivia: To salt the ice cream. Don't you all do that? Hannah: No. Olivia: That's weird. Panel 3 Olivia begins to seriously contemplate all the times she has had a ice cream. She has always put salt on her ice cream. Her mom and sister always puts salt on her ice cream. She's pretty sure her dad used to as well. She tries to recall a single incident of seeing someone from outside her family salt their ice cream. Panel 4 Olivia's mouth opens wide in shock as she comes to a horrifying realization. Olivia: AM I THE WEIRD ONE!? And no, Olivia is not weird. Salted Ice Cream is great and I strongly recommend giving it a try. All you need is a light a sprinkle. Let me know if you like it. Everyone thinks I'm weird because I salt my ice cream. I am weird but for entirely different reasons.

Salted Carmel is frequently used on ice cream, tho. It's even got its own flavor

I mean, it's weird to me as well, but it kind of grew on me. Same goes for cucumber flavoured tonic water though. It tastes weird to me, but I like it for some inexplicable reason. XD

I find sweet or fruity stuff on things like pizza or meat much worse. And while pineapple is just not my thing in general, I want to know whose idea it was to put peaches on chicken and cover both with cheese. While I like all three of the above, fruits just don't fit in for me like this. ^^;

The moment we can taste the salt, it's too much ( most sweets that have salted as a selling point just taste like a brick of salt to us, it's not very pleasant )

salty and sweet always goes well together. I learned that from people who worked as confectioner and they always add a little salt in their cake dough, because it compliments the sugar and makes it taste sweeter.

As someone who loves salted caramel. She knows the way. 🙏🏾 I'm sure other salted sweets are good too if they're sweet enough to balance. (I for one oversalted my salted caramel hot chocolate yesterday. Balance is important. . . .)

Apparently from brief research it's best with chocolate or caramel ice cream? Also used in making ice cream. Salt is mixed in with the ice water surrounding the ice cream, lowering the freezing point below that of the ice cream and letting it freeze more evenly and faster.
