Moving to the U.S. from small - town Russia in the 90s and going to a Ben & Jerry's
ice cream shop for the first time was completely mind - blowing because a) back home, we did not have dedicated
ice cream shops, b)
ice cream flavors I grew up with were very basic and I had never seen so many extensive flavor options c) they sold little
tubs of ice cream to take home, which was unheard
of in Russia at the time d) everything tasted incredibly decadent and
delicious.
