I grew up in a family of ice cream enthusiasts. My dad has always been a staunch supporter of Ben & Jerry’s, and a veritable super fan of Chubby Hubby—you know, the one with peanut butter and, more importantly, salty pretzels. But I had been putting salt on fruit for years, so putting it in and on ice cream didn’t seem illogical. I still buy the occasional pint of Chubby Hubby, but these days I sprinkle salt on pretty much every ice cream I buy and eat, mint chip being the exception, and anything with chocolate, caramel, or peanut butter being the rule.
