The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/tag/cornell-dairy-bar/)
Going on throughout the month of March, Cornell Dairy is sponsoring a “golden cow” contest, in which five winners will receive a personal tour of Cornell Dairy, a lifetime membership to the Cornell Dairy co-op and 25 “dairy dollars” to spend at the Dairy Bar.
The Dairy Bar has a tradition of dedicating ice cream flavors to important figures, such as University presidents, college deans and special guests. Cornell’s current president Martha E. Pollack is just the most recent continuation of this unique custom: Her “Bits and Bytes” flavor gets its tongue-in-cheek name from her artificial intelligence research.
Now, 22 years later, as an homage to this piece of Cornell lore, the Cornell Dairy Bar has brought back their seasonal fall flavor: Clocktower Pumpkin; a pumpkin-based ice cream with cinnamon and nutmeg seasoning. It’s like pumpkin pie without the crust. Available at the Dairy Bar, it’s the bright orange flavor; you can’t miss it.
Making ice cream is a precise process. It requires students to not only know the ins and outs of making ice cream but also and the science behind the entire process.
As spring progresses and we are blessed with continually warmer weather, my longing to go out on a 70-degree day and enjoy some ice cream beneath the sunshine has only intensified. As a graduating senior, I’m already beginning to miss certain ice cream establishments that can only be found in Ithaca. Below are three recommendations (in no particular order) based on my research during my past four years at Cornell.
