Tastes like childhood

I'm sure I am way behind the crowd on this, much like everything else I "discover", but I found an amazing treat this week at Food Lion.

[backstory] Maybe it is just a southern thing but when I was young snow days meant 2 things, no school and snow cream.

Fresh snow + evaporated milk + sugar + a dab of vanilla extract = snow cream. [/backstory]

While browsing for a frozen treat this Sunday, I saw the box. I didn't think it could match up but I was wrong.

One spoonful and I was back at home with mom and dad, near a hot wood stove and watching game shows and syndicated sit-coms on a 26" Zenith console.

Mayfield is the brand. Snowcream is the flavor.

I just started my second carton. It is nummy.

(remembering fondly)

yeah.....

(/remembering fondly)

Ive heard of it and im not a southerner. But Ohio is kind of hickish...

My girlfriend talks about this. Since we live in a metropolitan area, I don't let her explore that nostalgia.

She grew up in Ohio, too (and I think she'd agree with your assessment, cxhb).

southern and snowdays.........does not compute....

Snow? Where did you find that in the south? It hasn't snowed around here in years. I thought they stopped importing it.

Aha...Mayfield's icy memory enhancer takes me back to the 70s.

A time when my mom drove a yellow Gran Torino.

A time when we only got 6 channels on the TV and 2 of those were PBS.

A time when I still had a full head of hair.

A time when it still snowed at least a couple times a year in the south.

something something Michael Jackson something something.

Raised in NE Ohio, but the only similar memory was freshly made, right out of the kettle, maple syrup over snow. Pretty tasty. But I HATE snow.

This sounds really interesting to make for my kids, even the ingredients are doable. Except, what's snow and where do I find me some?
