Yes, it was an unavoidable tragedy but there was nothing else to be done. One cannot hope to ingest onion ice cream, even with cookies in it, nay even with chocolate syrup! So it was that nearly two quarts of cookie ice cream were unceremoniously disposed of in the nearest refuse container.
What happened you may well ask? Here then is all the sad tale:
We were the happy recipients of twenty pounds of onions, and not wishing to let them go to waste, I immediately chopped them up and froze them, little knowing the grief that was to come. Though my freezer smells like onions, it did not seem to affect the other food therein, until we tried the ice cream the other night. In a plastic pail it would have been safe, but alas the cardboard cube was little protection from the all permeating essence of onion. It tasted just fine, but we were burping onion with every other spoonful; it was dreadful, at least we were not serving it to company! A note to commercial ice cream makers: onion is not a recommended flavor! I would avoid sauerkraut as well...
