Poulet is about the last place you’d think of to go for ice cream. It’s no cutesy ice-cream parlor in a cutesy neighborhood, and no one’s giving any money to underprivileged kids. In fact, the ice cream at this Baltimore County upscale takeout is presented almost as an afterthought: “Oh, you got your dinner. Hey, why not get some ice cream, too, while you are here?” But then you taste it. It’s the kind of stuff that doesn’t melt the first second it hits your tongue. Instead, it lingers just long enough for you to really get the flavor (we like the fresh-fruit varieties best, like blueberry and apricot, but the tiramisu and chocolate truffle varieties are fun, too). It’s the difference between buying carton milk at the supermarket and splurging for the glass-bottled, farm-fresh stuff. And while the extra ingredients like raspberries and chocolate chunks don’t overwhelm the ice cream itself, you don’t have to go hunting for them, either. It’s ice cream that should be the main attraction.
