Creamed

Here's something I've never quite understood. Why would anyone put whipped cream on a sundae? Let's leave out the calorie count. Are you not getting enough dairy already?  A float I get--carbonation plus ice cream. Banana split, sure. But cream plus cream? Do you order a shake to wash it down?

I think I can explain. You see, whipped cream tastes really good. It's good on almost anything, but especially ice cream. The texture is a nice contrast, too.

Another explanation - real (homemade?) whip cream is not nearly as sweet as the stuff that comes from a can or a tub. Real whip cream might have a subtle sweetness to it (only a tad more than is found in milk, for example) and actually provides a contrast to the super-sweet taste of ice cream or fudge. This is also why I like nuts on my Sunday. But I never eat the cherry.
