Print Edition
Craving something cold on a hot summer day? Vinegar-flavored ice cream could be just the thing, at least according to an ice cream store in Shanxi Province.
The store in the city of Taiyuan, the provincial capital, caused huge buzz on the Internet after the owner created an extra-sour type of ice cream made with laochencu (mature vinegar).
Chen Yichao, a store employee, said the ice cream cones were made with high-quality milk and top-quality Shanxi mature vinegar.
鈥淲e use mature vinegar that has been fermented for three years or five years,鈥 Chen said.
The store, which opened less than a month ago, has sold many of the sour ice creams, which cost 10 yuan (US$1.4) each.
鈥淭he vinegar ice cream accounts for at least 60 percent of all ice cream cones sold every day,鈥 Chen said.
Chen said that it took 鈥渕any experiments鈥 to make the vinegar ice cream tasty. 鈥淪ome people don鈥檛 like the flavor, but we are catering to those who dare to try new things.鈥
