Do you like ice cream? What about cheese? And what about ice cream with cheese? Well, that’s something you can find in Ecuador. Why? I have no idea. It is not something traditional. Ice cream with cheese wasn't a thing when I was a child, but now you can find it everywhere. The first time I tried it was about five years ago. One of my best friends took me to an ice cream shop and we got that weird mix. I like ice cream, and I like cheese, but both together…. I couldn’t finish it. It was too “empalagoso.” That’s a word we Ecuadorians use to describe something which tastes good (and generally sweet), but it has a “very strong flavor”, so you can’t eat a lot of it. Anyway, when a friend who haven't tried that ice crean yet wants to try it, I get one for me too, that way my friend feels less weird.
