This is probably the most popular dessert in the United States and is certainly to be had in every graduation of quality, from rich and delectable to absolutely awful.

Whatever flavor you decide it is sure to be a pleaser. Grab some ice cream and some cones or have a banana split, just enjoy.

Ices and sherberts used to be served between the heavier courses of huge dinners in France, but even there the menus are far shorter now and the sherbert or ice is more likely to be served with dessert.
