Banana and Chocolate

It seems to me banana flavor was created to be part of a sundae, maybe even in a banana split, which Eddie's makes in a messy, gooey glory of overspilling hot fudge, real whipped cream and lots of napkins. But I think it stand best alone, or adorned with some fresh whipped cream and, the best complement to banana, some chocolate sauce.

I cheated today. I had banana, skipped right over butter pecan (which I'll come back to next time) and added a scoop of chocolate. It's just a flavor combination I can't pass up. I'm trying to decide if it counts, or if I need to make another trip for the chocolate. (I think it does count, though. Is the point that I walk over there 18 times or is it the Herculean task of bringing spoon to mouth through 18 scoops?)

I noticed today, as I ate my Eddie's banana ice cream, that the first bites tasted more banana-y than the later ones. I think as my mouth got cold I was less able to taste the flavor of the ice cream (fortunately ice cream has a luscious texture or there would be no point in taking more than a couple bites at any sitting).

Eddie's chocolate is more of a milk chocolate than a dark chocolate, but it's not insipidly bland. There's a little bit of alkaline cocoa flavor that keeps it from just being sweet. It's a mild chocolate, though, good for a big scoop or as a base for a whole hoarde of Eddie's toppings.
