This ice cream is jokingly called "Le Tricolore" in Denmark. You just can't serve a simple "three coloured ice-cream" in a gourmet meal.

This specific ice cream -- strawberry, vanilla, blueberry?

'Cause there are other three-color/three-flavor ice creams, and they all have different names: "neapolitan" is vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and "spumoni" is cherry, pistachio and chocolate, for example.

The one we call "trefarvet is" in Denmark is usually the one otherwise known as Neapolitan.

Could be any of the combinations, though, given that it literally just means "three-colored ice cream" 🤷

No, the most common is strawberry, vanilla & chocolate, but it's still nicknamed after the French flag.

Attempts have been made to label it as "rainbow ice", which is stupid because neither brown, white or pink are present in a rainbow.

Funny, it's called "Fürst-Pückler-Eis" in German, which sounds way fancier than it actually is.

I hate to break it to you, but sounding like "First Pucker Ice" does not sound fancy. I'm not sure it can get less fancy in fact.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Well "Fürst" means Prince, so it's actually named after THIS fancy lad!

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Well he is pretty fancy. Born in a castle? And look at all those names!

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

My point exactly!

Nah; it can totally be würst.

Huh, it actually makes a lot more sense than the English name, since it's named after the guy who invented it. Americans named it after Naples, Italy because the colors originally resembled the Italian flag.
