Cold whipped heavy cream with no sugar and all natural flavorings. Selkie likes the plain one and the savory ones like the tea flavors.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.

I don’t know – with the growing number of Sarnothi in town, eel sauce ice cream might be good business
Jellied eels are popular in London– rather nice with laverbread.
This would be gelato eels!
Reminds me of the time Iron Chef Sakai made trout ice cream on the original Iron Chef.
I came here to make this exact same comment, but it was Iron Chef America and he served it “with eyeball” garnish.
Eel rice (鰻丼 or Unagi-don) is delicious.
What’s the point of sugar-free ice cream if you’re going to smother it in sugary eel sauce? Might as well go whole-hog, or suffer with a sugar-alternative eel sauce.
Eel sauce as in the brown goo they put on the unagi? I would so take ice cream that flavor.
I’d take it with charred eel bits in it too actually.
You know how cats can like icecream despite having few/no sweet receptors because they’re drawn to the fat in the dairy? I wonder if sarnothi are wired a similar way to crave fats and lipids.
I would expect them to be. Fats are excellent sources of energy, and most organisms have a long evolutionary history of needing all the energy they can get. This leave them, including us, with an instinctive drive to consume high-energy foods.
More than that, fats specifically are necessary in the body, especially for the processing of fat-soluble vitamins.
I have heard accounts of explorers, who had been living off the land and getting their calorie needs met on very lean meat like rabbit. However, when encountering “civilized” folks and their food supplies, these explorers found themselves eagerly eating pure lard. They had a fat deficiency and were craving it.
Now, the Sarnothi obviously evolved in a very different environment, but they’re still part of the terrestrial Tree of Life and perhaps more importantly, they’ve “grown up” as a species eating animals from that same Tree of Life, and fish and marine mammals have fat.
I would actually be *surprised* if Sarnothi *didn’t* enjoy a savory, sugarless ice cream.
An all-rabbit diet can actually make you die from lack of fat. It’s simply too lean for you to survive on for long.
And I’d like to try savory ice cream. I don’t know that I’d like it, but I think it would be an experience I’d be the poorer for not even trying. I do typically like savory more than sweet.
Honestly, there’s a variety of fish sauces that might work on certain icecreams. I bet Tasting History’s got some ideas.
I got to see him at one of his book signings about a month ago, and he’s just as nice in person as on his channel. It was awesome!
I got an ice cream maker last year, I’ve made green tea, but I’ve also made bacon and my favorite a white whine whine peach.
I bet Todd is wrong. With the new public sarnothi situation, I bet that shop owner has discovered his new market and is trying some sarnothi-targeted flavors by now.
Todd: “Selkie, I’m sorry, but allowing an atrocity like that to be done to ice cream would count as a war crime.”
Selkie: “…We’s is not in a war thoughs.”
Todd: “Oh, there would BE one!”
I love the similarities between Todd’s reaction to Selkie’s idea of good food and Theo’s reaction to Todd’s idea of good food
