Tesco Neapolitan Ice Cream

What is it?

Chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in parallel blocks, an arrangement that has been around as long as ice cream has been sold in tubs, and one that survives because it solves a household problem rather than a culinary one. One tub covers three preferences. The blocks stay separate enough that anyone can take the flavour they want and leave the rest, which is the entire argument for Neapolitan over a single tub, and the reason the strawberry third is so often the last one standing. Soft scoop, so it gives way under the spoon straight from the freezer. In a two litre tub that matters more than it would in a small one.
