  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This is a perfectly executed shower thought. No notes.

I don't have any inherent disagreement, but I feel like I'm gonna need you to show your work. Can't you have beef pepperoni? that feels very close to milk, and only a step away from cream.

I tried it, it's basically garlic flavored vanilla ice cream. I'm glad I tried it, would not seek it out again.

The culinary opposite of pepperoni is coconut milk.

[–] TootSweet 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The culinary opposite of coconut milk is haggis.

[–] Nurse_Robot 7 points 3 months ago

The culinary opposite of haggis is leafy greens

[–] SpaceNoodle 3 points 3 months ago

Coconut milk ice cream

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No it's not

They're both Italian, ice cream can be non-sweet, there must be bigger opposites!

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 1 points 3 months ago

Wouldn’t it be gelato vs pepperoni?

Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence

Not a question, but I challenge you to explain yourself.

You've either had too much pepperoni, or too little ice cream...

Either way, you owe us all an explanation. Or ice cream. I'll accept ice cream.

Tangent: one if my roommates discovered a recipe for an avocado-based chocolate mouse. She hates it when I call it chocolate guacamole, guacolate, or chocomole.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'd say they're in a somewhat similar realm of consistency so no

Together? Pepperoni flavored ice cream? Ice cream flavored pepperoni? Where do you draw the line? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

... t-together?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

You know, I ain't mad at that.

Don't agree, but I can dig the vibe.

Now, I would have said salad, personally, as the opposite of ice cream, or maybe barbecue.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 7 points 3 months ago

They’re both high in fat so no, it’s not.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Why would you say something so brave, yet so controversial?

[–] Boozilla 4 points 3 months ago

Key lime pie makes a great dessert after spicy Mexican food.

[–] Siegfried 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

And here i am, thinking that the opposite of icecream was Surströmming

Bonus: at one point in time, there was ice cream served with pepperoni Apparently

You caught some heat in the comments but this is completely true.

No, you can have almonds for dessert.

If you're Italian and therefore demonic then maybe (/s)
