Carelessly browsing through the frozen ice cream isle at my neighborhood Shaws, I noticed something... It was not the usual pint of Ben & Jerry's which yours truly doesnt pass up when it's it's 2 for $5 deal, but something entirely different. What stared at me was a white tricolored container that simply read: Spumoni! I suddenly flashbacked to the episode of American Dad where the wife of Stan, Francine declares: Spumoni! I know it's tri colored ice cream but it sounds like pasta! But I can't get around that!
According to Wikipedia:
Spumoni, or spumone, is a molded Italian ice cream made with layers of different colors and flavors, usually containing candied fruits and nuts. Typically it is of three flavors, with a fruit/nut layer between them. The ice cream layers are often mixed with whipped cream. Chocolate and pistachio are the typical flavors of the ice cream layers, and the fruit/nut layer often contains cherry bits—causing the traditional red/pink, brown, and green color combination. This dish comes from Naples, and the three-flavored Neapolitan ice cream evolved from it.[1] Spumoni is virtually unknown in Italy today, but it is popular in places with large Italian immigrant populations such as the United States and Argentina.
So here it is folks: ice cream, fruit, nuts = deeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious
