Salt+Caramel=?

      Nothing screams sophistication and class like something that came out of France, and Salted Caramel ice cream is no exception. I have absolutely no idea who's idea it was to combine those polar opposites together, but I do know that it tastes amazing, and in the end, that's all that matters. Its creamy texture, savory sweetness, and salty aftertaste all add up to create the embodiment of the word Bliss. It is completely different from any other ice cream flavor in existence, mostly due to the strange combination of salt and caramel, but like Will and Carlton from Fresh Prince, it works, and the result is truly amazing. I believe the most attractive part of this ice cream is the two completely opposite ingredients, found on both ends of the food spectrum, clashing together to form something so crazy, that it works flawlessly, a quality I find in myself. Yes I am a self-obsessed ego-maniac who puts his interests before those of others, but I am also a compassionate, and considerate human being who would help friends and family in a heartbeat without hesitation. One spoonful after another leads to my happiness factor increasing, and my mood level elevating. It's truly unbelievable that something so insignificant can have such a huge impact on what emotion i'm experiencing. It's kind of sad really. I won't let that deter me though. I will always enjoy the simple pleasure of being able to sit down and wolf down one spoonful of Salted Caramel after another, and appreciate the fact that I am truly blessed and fortunate to enjoy something that I take for granted everyday while someone goes hungry. This is why I love Salted Caramel so much, because it is proof that opposites DO attract.

  3. I truly admired your blog post and enjoyed reading it. Although salt and caramel mix quite an atypical flavor, your obsession over this convinces me to give it a try. Never had I believed that salt and caramel would be mixed to create such a favorable taste. This post truly surprised me Ralphie! I definitely will buy myself a cone of salt and caramel ice cream and think of this post while I devour it.

  4. Raffi, I could not help but literally laughing when I read your blog post. I knew it was never of your intention for it to evoke humor in any way, however that is exactly your way of evoking humor; unintentionally. Your analogies and comparisons (the Fresh Prince one and the similarity between the ice cream flavor's flawlessness with yourself) were humorous to the point where they automatically became convincing to me no matter what, making it profoundly difficult for me to be able to argue or disagree with what you proposed. Your usage of pathos was explicitly spectacular. Tremendous job (and I am not merely saying that!).
