Fake Ice Cream

There’s something almost un-American about ice cream that isn’t made from cream. I have never been able to get myself to buy this Tofutti stuff. In fact, the very name itself turns me off.
I know soy beans are considered a miracle food to many, and I know it’s healthful, and I know it’s a good source of protein. But no matter how they dress it up, no matter how they manipulate it, it’s still mashed-up beans to me.
Not that I don’t like mashed-up beans (I smash my chili beans in the pot all the time), but I don’t like it when it’s disguised to look and ostensibly substitute for something luscious. I mean, if you’re going to eat ice cream, EAT ICE CREAM!
So there.
