My earliest memories of ice cream were that it was
insipid crap compared to the premium ice creams
you can buy today. *But then again, my parents

You should blame your idea of early ice cream on your parents, then.

We had a couple local dairies that sold ice cream (their own), heavy
cream and anything else you would find from a dairy, and it was better
than almost anything except artisanal local ice cream today. This
relates to when I was growing up in the 40s.
