In the Victorian era there were a lot of interesting flavors. Artificial flavors werenāt around until the early 1890s and are yet to be perfected so pretty much to flavor ice cream they had whatever they had around them. Pretty much berries, vanilla and all the natural sweet flavors like honey was for sweet flavors. It was of different texture than what we have today and was mainly sorbet. They would even have savory flavors such as artichoke and cheese?
Here are my characterās favorite controversial ice cream flavors!
Elsie: She likes plain vanilla but another flavor she likes is cucumber.
Roy: Roy loves anything strawberry flavored and he has yet to try tobacco flavor. It was a thing. His friends tell him to stay away from that.
Rosemary: Her favorite flavor is raspberry and thatās it. Though hazelnut she wouldnāt mind every now and then.
Ernest: Since he grew up very impoverished Ernest never could afford to make ice cream as a youth. Heās been trying all kinds of flavors and so far his favorite has been chestnut with chocolate. Heād like to try the coffee one and his friends let him eat it anyway. Itās just the flavoring.
Martin: He just melts ice. Nothing needed.
