LOL! Thanks Irina, this got me a really good laugh! Although, I can imagine that cilantro ice cream might not be too bad, as long as you didn't go over the top with the cilantro. I've had basil ice cream, which was great, and of course we're all familiar with mint. Why not other herbs? Too bad I don't have an ice cream machine.

What?! No! Mungayöd is real! I was talking to a native speaker just the other day! Of course, how she got into my apartment, and why she was dressed like King George III is anyone's guess.
