Green tea ice cream

When flying from Asia to the US with United Airlines, one recurring dessert aboard is Häagen-Dazs matcha green tea ice cream. Trying to cater to both sides of the Pacific at the same time, green tea ice cream is a true bastard that tends to leave both audiences equally unsatisfied, yet somehow recognized in their diversity (to be fair, and as can be seen in the Venn diagram above, there is of course a small subset of people who actually appreciate green tea ice cream in its own right).

Tonight, I made a gin pasta remix that I feared would turn into my own green tea ice cream of sorts as I mixed Italian guanciale, Oatly cream, tomato paste, gluten-free pasta made of corn and quinoa with some left-over Filliers Dry Gin courtesy of Brussels Airlines. To my surprise, the result was actually quite delicious and something I will try again after my next SN flight.
