Dammit Salt & Straw, you've done it again. You've taken something that few ice cream shops would even consider and bring it into a delicious reality. Good shit.
What the hell is Kulfi? Great question! For those of you who are unaware (much like I was prior to trying this flavor), Kulfi is an Indian dessert that uses cardamom, rosewater, and pistachio flavors to bring about an interesting flavor in ice cream form.
Whatever toppings they have a surplus of at the end of each night, they throw into a peanut butter base flavor, and call it a day. Things like pretzels, m&ms, heath bars, and more and blend well in this peanut butter Smörgåsbord flavor.

It's awe, and then some because it covers basically every flavor element together. Let's see, there's: salt, sweet, bitter, and spice all in a single bite
Swensen's doesn't have too many unusual flavors, but mostly just focuses on traditional flavors and tries to keep the quality of these select few flavors creamy, and delicious. So read on to learn what I think of their signature flavor that goes beyond the norm- Swiss Orange Chip.

It's not complex or mind blowing as it tries to reinvent the wheel. It's just good. And in comfort foods like the 10-20 at Marianne's, sometimes that's all you need.
Well I think the best (and easiest) description I could use would be to say it tasted exactly like Reed's Ginger candy, but in ice cream form. Want a better description? I would suggest you read on then...
