Did you know that Gilroy, California is known as the “Garlic Capital of the World?”
When we were driving through the area, we decided to stop by one of the road side stands and try one of the novelty items offered which is garlic ice cream.
It’s created locally by Marianne’s Ice Cream based in Santa Cruz.
Their version is prepared with roasted garlic and a vanilla ice cream base.
The garlic flavour hit strong with the first tastes but then the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream came through.
Then we really got into it and enjoyed it!
