Though options at interstate rest stops suggest otherwise, the United States still rewards the curious among us ample regional delights. Americans within range of I-270, for example, can visit five Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams shops. The rest of the populace can experience our refined regional specialties via the glorious process of the mail order. Here at Jeni's we're essentially building on the tradition the great epicurean (and piper cub pilot) Clementine Paddleford touches on an essay from 1951.
Indeed, there was a time, Paddleford reminds us (even before the distance-shrinking magic of the World Wide Web and cable TV altered our lives) when our foodie forbears tirelessly and enthusiastically spread word about specialty foods, drinks, powders, sauces and dressings to people who demanded something unique touch their taste buds every day—something made with simple, real ingredients, something made in harmony with the natural order of things.
So, hats off to you, Ms. Paddleford. Could we locate your hallowed writing room in the sky we'd gladly send you a few pints of our Pistachio and Honey or our Honey Vanilla Bean, allow you time to indulge and eagerly await one of your expertly-penned reviews to drop through our mail slot.
