pistachio ice cream

Baskin Robbins Canada [...] Almonds [...] Artificial Flavour
(Derived from Barley)

flavor derived from barley [?]

Advanced chemistry? Black magic? I have no idea.

Loblaw's Black Label [...] contains just cream, milk,
sugar, skim milk powder, frozen egg yolk, pistachio paste

Ah, real. One does note that many of our better brands
have similarly limited ingredients lists.

Black Label is the top quality line for their house brands, ahead
of President's Choice and way ahead of No-Name.

Breyers [...] "frozen dairy dessert". The damned stuff isn't
even legally ice cream!

The ingredients list may be acceptable still,
though the amount of overrun is truly amazing.

The butterfat content is 5% when the minimum for ice cream is 10%.
They try to compensate with vegetable gums but fail badly. They have
also swapped out natural flavouring for artificial to cut costs. It
is cheaper than other brands but no bargain; it has become the
Wal-Mart of ice creams.
