What kind of ice cream is your galley?

[Blue Ghost]

Title of the topic says it all. Does your crew eat ice cream? If so, what kind?

Gatherer Crew Ice Cream Favs

Here are the preferred choices of ice cream for the Vargr crew of the Gatherer.

Captain Kakhskha likes Neapolitan for the three varieties. However the chocolate side is synthesized.

Engineer Lt. Anghal likes double chocolate chunk. It calms her when her injury ruins her day. Again synthesized.

Marine Lt. Ardell prefers a fruit-filled sorbet. Usually strawberry. Something she can chew and lick.

Third Officer Dedhekhsgourz is the silliest with cookies and cream. Synthesized chocolate again. The ladies call it cannibalism since he is also mottled in coloration. The Astrogator doesn't care.

Professor Zannun shirks ice cream as he prefers sherbet. Orange. The others think he's lactose intolerant since he comes from a Desert mainworld of a twin M5 V pair of Red Dwarfs.

 

[Blue Ghost]

Whoa there, Vargr captain. Isn't chocolate chip poison to Vargr? Are you trying to poison your crew? :rofl:

 

[The Pakkrat]

Synthesized Chocolate

Uh. Hence the 'synthesized'. I should go back and bold that.

There isn't space for an ice cream maker aboard the Boxing Kangaroo, but they do get some space for "Dessert, frozen, individual serving" in the ship's supply load out.

For the Owner-on-Board the Roving Minstrel, there is Rum Raisin and Kona Coffee Mocha (unfortunately, the Kona flavor is synthetic). Out on the Rim, good coffee is hard to find.

For the rest of the crew, Vanilla made with supercow cream, or even better, true Jersey Cream from El Paso. El Paso Star Berry Ice Cream is famous through the Sword Sub-Sector and adjoining one, and is the super-gourmet ice cream on Baldur. The crew loves it, but prefers making money selling it rather than eat it. They consume gallons while on El Paso. The crew also loves to sell Buffalo Ice Cream on New Texas rather than eat it. The favorite one on the ship is Blueberry Ice Cream made with Blueberries from the bogs on El Paso.

El Paso Habanero Ice Cream has a strong following on New Texas, while the expatriate Scandinavians enjoy their Sardine Ice Cream with heavy Sardine oil, and occasionally savor the treat of Sardines with Oil crushed and mixed with fresh snow.

Freeze-dried Astronaut Ice Cream. Just in case you've got to eat in Zero-G. Definitely Chocolate.

 

[Reynard]

Most of the crew enjoy Rum raisin with real rum. The aslan engineer enjoys shrimp ice cream one world exports to aslan worlds over the border.

I think my autochef would be programmed with at least the following list -

• Tip top Hokey-Pokey with a chocolate dip.
• Matcha - try this if you ever go to somewhere in Asia where they make it.
• Taro soft-serve - also, try this if you go to Asia.
• Chocolate ice cream, but not too chocolatey and definitely none of the rubble they put in Ben and Jerrys. If I want lumps I'll go buy some gravel and eat it.
• Real fruit raspberry or peach ice cream - chilled with liquid nitrogen.
• To the guy who said rum and raisin - have an upvote (sorry, wrong forum).
• Mango sorbet
• Vanilla, chocolate and hazlenut gelato.

Baskin Robbins Daiquiri Ice and Chocolate Almond.

Plus Chocolate-Vanilla twist soft serve

Per my last (Vargr) crew who were trapped on a world invaded by those damned extremist vegan lunatic centaurs: K'Kree flavour with real K'Kree chunks

(there's synth coffee flavour in reserve, when the preferred flavour runs out. And no, K'Kree doesn't taste like chicken: That's the OTHER meat )

Actually, humans apparently taste more like pork than chicken, hence the term "long pig".

I'm guessing he spent time deep in Vargr space ... or maybe even K'Kree space near Hiver territory.

Oh, I have all sorts of tidbits like that floating around inside of my skull, proving that the space between my ears is not full of High Vac.

What's the difference between high vacc and low vacc? The tone of voice pronouncing doom?!

Ummm... it is found throughout Solomani lore of the ocean island region of the largest ocean on Sol3.

Linguistically, it is actually a translation of a term used by natives of those islands - who (according to history texts) often practiced the eating of other humans.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/long-pig

Word Origin: translation of a Māori and Polynesian term

n. "human being eaten as food," 1848, in a Pacific Islander context:

Bau literally stank for many days, human flesh having been cooked in every house, and the entrails thrown outside as food for pigs, or left to putrefy in the sun. The Somosomo people were fed with human flesh during their stay at Bau, they being on a visit at that time; and some of the Chiefs of other towns, when bringing their food, carried a cooked human being on one shoulder, and a pig on the other; but they always preferred the "long pig," as they call a man when baked.

Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick. Ice cream, people. Ice Cream!

 

[The Pakkrat]

Aha! Moment

Thanks for this OP. It has given me an idea on how to thwart the antagonist who will appear in my Down A Peg story. When you fly in a small crew, Adventure Class Starship, you tend to notice preferences in your fellow crewmembers, especially in the realm of favorite foods from the Galley.

"Hey, that's my Neapolitan! Keep your paws to your own ice cream, Dead-Hex!"
