Veggie Icecreams!

How about this! Recipes for veggie icecreams. Worth trying on kids, or
men, who need encouragement. I can hear it now - "If you don't eat your
vegetables, you can have dessert."

The weather's a bit cold at the moment, or I'd give them a try
forthwith, just for fun.

Yuck! they sound absolutely horrible. There are just some things you
don't combine. Vegetables and ice-cream is one of them

Would it help if I pointed out that tomatoes are actually a fruit? :-)

From a strictly botanical standpoint a tomato is a fruit. A fruit is

the part of the plant that produces the seeds. If thats the case then
things like green beans, squash, corn, and cucumbers etc should be
called fruits. Some people say a tomato is a fruit because it grows on
a vine. So do squash and cucumbers and I don't hear anyone calling
those things fruits. Another argument against calling a tomato a fruit
is the fact that the plant only lives for one season. All other fruits
(what the average person considers to be a fruit) are perennials.

So it goes without saying that you are disgusted by the thought of
chocolate and chili icecream, and wouldn't consider rhubarb either.

I advise you to run a mile from any mention of Feran Adria, the alleged
culinary genius who, among other things, has concocted sardine toast
icecream!

Pumpkin ice cream is wonderful, but I don't have a recipe for it.
I draw the line at fish.

And then there are the wonderful fruit sorbets as well. You know, you
can't get blood out of a stone (I'm married to one). He'd no sooner
taste a vegetable flavored ice cream than I would taste anything that
had to do with meat. I ordered carrot juice for breakfast today in a
restaurant and everyone at the table was "ewwwwwwwwwwwing" it. It's a
sweet flavored juice, not really different than apple juice. Carrot
ice cream might taste quiet nice!

Given the choice I'd rather eat a veggie or fruit than anything else. I
am addicted to those whole fruit sorbets! I haven't me one I don't
like, yet...Carrot ice cream would be lovely with the right spices
added.

I'm assuming "alleged" is the operative word.

If a tomato plant is grown in a warm environment, it can grow for
years. When I lived in the middle east, our downstairs neighbor had a
tomato plant whose trunk was brown and as thick as my wrist! Ok, it
was in a pot, but it was in the courtyard all year.

I made pumpkin fudge one time. Heck, we make pumpkin pie with sugar
and spices. Pumpkins and cukes are IIRC in the pepo family, along with
cantelope and other melons.

A year or so ago I bought green bean ice cream pops from an Asian
market. When my nephews, the non-veg eaters, came to visit and I had
green beans that they refused, I asked whether they would eat them as
ice cream. They snickered and said "yes." So I brought out the green
bean pops. Believe it or not, they tried them (but didn't finish)!
Actually, they were pretty bad, primarily because there were whole
beans in it and the texture wasn't so good :P

I threw them out after the novelty wore off.

But the recipes in Christine's link look fine to me (except for the
"Tomato and Toasty Bits" one).

Aren't those more of a sherbert than a ice cream?

Depends on what your definition of a sherbet is. I've always
considered a sherbet to be a frozen mixture consisting of fruit juice,
sugar, and milk although some recipes use whipped egg whites along with
or in place of the milk. Water can be added to dilute the mixture if
necessary. I remember checking out a book from the library several
years ago and it gave the actual government standards as to what's the
difference between an ice-cream, an ice-milk, a sherbet, etc. I was
trying to come up with a recipe for homemade orange sherbet and I
wanted to see just the actual ratios were between dairy, sugar,
flavoring, etc. I learned that all sherbets must contain a certain
percentage of milk solids, milk fat, sugar, fruit juice, stabilizers,
and fruit acid, at least according to the U.S.D.A. they do.
