My Dad's Favorite Ice Cream by The Slice Please!


Because it is August and hot outside I always think of Neapolitan Ice cream or "All Three Kinds" as we called it. This was a treat when Dad would buy a carton of "All Three Kinds" He would put the carton on the kitchen table, open up all corners, top and bottom and get out the big kitchen knife.
He would then proceed to cut us a slice of ice cream! This way we all had a little of the "Three Kinds" A half-gallon carton of ice cream was gone in 1 serving around the Brittingham house!

Block of Neapolitan ice cream.

Neapolitan ice cream is chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream side-by-side in the same container (typically with no packaging in between).
Neapolitan ice cream was named in the late 19th century as a reflection of its presumed origins in the cuisine of the Italian city of Naples, and the many Neapolitan immigrants who brought their expertise in frozen desserts with them to the United States. Spumoni was introduced to the United States in the 1870s as Neapolitan-style ice cream. Early recipes used a variety of flavors, however the number of three molded together was a common denominator. More than likely chocolate, vanilla and strawberry became the standard for the reason that they were the most popular flavors in the United States at the time of introduction.
