Ok, Junk Food Nation.  It’s Monday.  We have reached the end of St.VegasMarchIceCreamYouScreamWeAllScreamForPatricksMadnessDayPalooza.  We’ve also reached the end of my Vegas trip.  I hope you’ve enjoyed these auto posts and my trip around the freezer in my apartment.  Tomorrow, live posts resume!  If I’m not fried.  By the time you read this, I will already be on a plane back to the East Coast.  I’ll miss you Sin City.  See you soon for some more sinnin’.

Today’s junk food I found in a grocery store that was going out of business!!!  Never a good sign.  I walked by their frozen food aisle and BOOM!  Ben & Jerry’s Berried Treasure Sorbet!

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: The Money Shot

I was tweeting with Marvo over at The Impulsive Buy about this sorbet, and he’d never seen it before.  Google reveals that Ben and Jerry’s came out with Sorbet in 2009, but I haven’t seen it since.  Which means…this is a REALLY old tub of sorbet.  Yikes.

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: HAHA, I love the play on words. Sigh.

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: That lemon better be zesty or hell will be paid.

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: Cocktail recipes? You don't say, B & J? Oh wait...no actually you don't say. Nevermind.

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: The limited list of ingredients is a very good sign.

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: A little ice buildup, but nothing major. Pretty color.

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: VERY smooth texture - my spoon sunk right in.

Ben & Jerry's Berried Treasure Sorbet: Juicy juicy juicy.

This Ben & Jerry’s Berried Treasure Sorbet was, in a word, refreshing.  After five days of thick creamy ice cream or frozen yogurt, this sorbet was like a smack in the face, a nice palette cleanser. The lemon ice was really overpowering the blueberry part of the sorbet, despite the color. It’s so purple, you’d think the blueberry was dominant, but nope.

I love blackberries, but could taste none of that here.  Blackberries are sour and tart…and the purple sections of this sorbet were not.  Couldn’t taste any blackberry over the lemon.

The blue berry sorbet, by itself, was rather muted.  Altogether, nevertheless, the sorbet was pleasant, cool, and refreshing.  The texture was even better – my spoon sunk right in like it was soft butter.  If the butter was icy sweet and tasted like lemon and blueberries.

BRING THIS BACK, BEN & JERRY’S!  The whole world must try this.

See you live and in charge, back tomorrow, JFN!
