[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I can honestly say I’ve never been offered ice cream as an adult in a home by anyone under 70.

I’ve been to plenty of dinners and lunches over with friends and can’t think of one time outside of visiting elderly relatives or neighbors that I’ve been offered ice cream by anyone under 70.

I’m thinking back to being a kid too, the times I’ve ever been scooped a bowl of ice cream were all with elderly neighbors or relatives. Friends would have popsicles - sometimes the ones with cream in the center but nonetheless, I skewed toward only having ice cream with the elderly.[/quote]

If my kids have friends over, I'm going to offer them the thing I can pull out of the freezer and hand to them without any fuss and minimal mess/dishes.

Plus, if I have ice cream on hand, it's my ice cream and I don't want to share that.

My grandparents never offered ice cream, but they always had cookies and then as adults my grandma would offer us beer. [/quote]

Aside from the beer, this sounds like I could have written it. My grandmother was particularly keen on Brach caramels.
In fact, I don't recall my grandparents ever keeping ice cream in the house. But we would "stop for ice cream" at an ice cream shop after certain outings. And we would make ice cream at summer family gatherings. There was ice cream in our house most of the time, though.[/quote]
