Scream Sorbet

I went to the Scream tent at the Castro Farmer’s Market because I felt bad for the cute boy standing there all alone in the chilly dark. No one was stopping, and i cant blame them it was fucking chilly. I’m a sucker for a lonely little puppy-​eyed vendor, so I let him entice me with samples.
HOLYMOTHERFUCKINGHELL.
OK, as a lactose-​intolerant Negro? Ice Cream is a rarity for me, even if I OD on Lactaid® caplets. I still sound like an old man after a night of cigars and maybe inhaling diesel fumes once I’ve had dairy. So sorbet is my go-​to. But sometimes you just don’t want another damned fruityfruit sorbet. Scream dude assures me their chocolate and their pistachio flavors are to die for.
Aaaaand yeah, they are, Blanche, they are!
I bought the pistachio and a pomegranate. they apparently just go «Fuck it JUICE THE WHOLE GODDAMNED FRUIT!» when they make it. And the pistachio is creamy and nutty and makes my tingly bits get tingly.
Go buy this stuff. And appreciate the annerableness of the guy selling it. Then eat your way to a glorious gourmet brainfreeze.

my mother-​in-​law brought us their chocolate hazelnut prepacked 12 oz. and we loved it. we were skeptical because every time we have chocolate sorbet it’s grainy and icy and yucky… but this sorbet was smooth, creamy, chocolaty, hazelnutty heaven! and i don’t believe in heaven. we also had the opportunity to try the caramel cashew because my hubby is one of the arizmendi owners soooo they got a taste for free. and that was yummy, too.
this past sunday we got the pistachio… the first time we had to pay for it… it was 8 dollars for 12 ounces. the ingredients are Water, Dewey Farms pistachios, sugar and sea salt… THAT’S ALL!!! and it was sooo yummy. it’s really hard to believe that it’s dairy free. it tastes like the best pistachio gelato i had in Sicily… you get what you pay for. AND Scream Sorbet is worth every penny.

I came across Scream Sorbet on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the Inner Sunset Farmer’s Market. To take advantage of the rare warm weather and check off another item on the 7×7 2010 Big Eat SF List, I decided to give the Kabacho Coconut & Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors a try.
WOW! Perfectly balanced. Not too sweet; not one flavor overpowering the other. The texture was was neither too icy, sugary, or watery. It was nicely packed & was as close to ice cream like texture as a sorbet could get.
I promptly ordered a scoop of the Kabacho Coconut.
Then, the disappointment came. The scoop was even smaller than those plastic containers you pack your to-​go salsa in. I felt as ripped off as a hungry kid tearing into a bag of chips, only to find that it’s ½ full. $ 3 per scoop, no thanks. I would gladly pay $ 1-​$ 1.50 for this petite scoop, then go to town trying all their flavors. Sorry Scream, next time I’m taking my $ 3 elsewhere.
