A few months back a friend who lives up in Rochester, N.Y., mentioned that she tried this different kind of ice cream. Except it wasn't really an ice cream she related, but it had two flavors and she assured me I'd like it. Naturally I searched high and low for this product only to come up empty until a few weeks ago when it finally made its way into our East Village neighborhood. Turns out she was talking about Duetto, an interesting and unique product from the underrated folks at Turkey Hill. Don't get me wrong--I love the ice cream that, say, Ben & Jerry's, Haagen-Daz or even Edy's makes, but Turkey Hill has hit a grand slam with Duetto. Each 1.50 quart tub consists of "tangy Venice ice and creamy vanilla soft serve." Basically it has two flavors with two textures which makes it stand out from your usual ice cream. Duetto is available in four flavors: mango, raspberry, cherry and lemon (my fav). You may still have trouble finding the product but I found this gem at Key Food on Avenue A and 4th St. for $5.99. If you grew up eating Italian ices and/or soft serve ice cream from Mr. Softee, this is the best of both worlds.
