Ice cream tastes better when you eat it in a cone, rather than with a spoon.
This is because utensil imparts a slight flavor onto the ice cream.

Because of this "spoon ice cream" principle I theorize that eating ice cream
with a fork is tastier than eating it with a spoon, since a fork has less
surface area.

when I eat ice cream out of a cone, it tends to taste like moustache wax. I
prefer a spoon.

Maybe a higher quality utensil. You get what you pay for.

You could use a high quality Lexan spoon, like backpackers use. Those
do not impart flavor.

You use moustache wax?

I think you meant the metallic taste of stainless. Many cats are
averse to eating out of metal bowls.
Lexan spoons are only about a buck at camping stores. They last a
very long time if you don't subject them to dishwasher temperatures.

What's the lipids and triglyceride breakdown of mustache wax, Bryan?
Will consuming too much mustache wax impact my power ketone highs?

My parents think I am nuts but I actually keep a supply of plastic
spoons in the back of their silverware drawer. I have become so
accustomed to plastic that I actually dislike using silverware. Ice
cream is perfect with a plastic spoon.

Most plastic spoons are too weak for ice cream. I take it you have
rather robust ones.

I suppose that would depend on the cone. Some taste good and some do not.

OR you could eat it with a spoon made of something other than metal.

Isn't caviar supossed to be better on a special spoon? I recall
reading that somewhere...

I guess the plastic used to make flatware is mostly inert. I avoid those
thin plastic cups though. They have a "plasticy" taste.

Some people re-use soda bottles, not realizing that they're made with cheap
plastic, and are only meant to be used once.

Pooh knows plastic.

Let's think about this. My drinking horn holds about a cup of ale.
That's eight floz or about a quarter liter. Hey, that's actually too
big for caviar. The salt would overwhlem by then!

I always use a fork. For one thing you don't have to distort your mouth
getting into a spoon. It's easier to take smaller samples. I say after
being in your mouth, makes the cream melt faster with fork. It's also
necessary if you got cake nearby. I never sensed any metallic flavoring.

I thought that was because caviar is so salty, and you would use
mother of pearl or horn spoons so as not to wreck the good
silverware. No?

In general, the clear plastic ones you get at a party supply store (or
even the ones from K-Mart) are stronger than the white plastic ones.

Metal is reactive and imparts a foul taste to caviar. The traditional
serving materials are horn, bone, nacre, tortoise shell, and wood...
same as for serving mustard. But nowadays there are cheapo plastics
that imitate.

Just eat it with a caviar spoon.

That is, if you consider a cone a utensil. A spoon imparts no flavor.
Maybe you are just missing the cone flavor.

The gray ones from the military surplus store are made of Lexan,
They're $1 each there, but it looks like REI has a better deal,
assuming they have them in store where you pay sales tax but no
shipping. http://www.rei.com/product/781524/re...Sku=7815240010
Though maybe their acetyl plastic is not quite as good as Lexan. Who
knows? It might be better. All stuff made for backpacking tends to
perform well. Backpackers are really picky.

One good reuse of 2L bottles is freezing fish fillets, like bluegill
and crappie. You put the fillets in the bottom of one that has had
the top half cut off, then you fill with water until you cover the
fish with a couple of inches of water, and put in the deep freeze. My
brother swears they keep for years with little/no loss of quality.
Certainly no freezer burn. I haven't seen that brother for several
years. I should get together with him sometime. He got kinda Jesus
freaky, but I hear he hangs out with my oldest brother, whom I see
once a year or so. Hmmmm?

It's stupid to eat ice cream with a spoon. If you like spooning, eat mashed
potatoes, or Cole slaw with a spoon. Maybe jello, I would use a spoon.

Well, it kinda makes sense if you are comparing plastic ware from the
Dollar store or from Costco...the Costco ones are ice cream worthy, if
you feel the need!

If you eat ice cream from a cone, the cone is the utensil -- and I guarantee you
that the cone will transfer orders of magnitude more flavor than any stainless
steel utensil.
