Post V: The UNL Dairy Store


I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Everyone loves ice cream that’s why I ended up heading to the University of Nebraska Lincoln Dairy Store on the east campus. When I entered into the building, right away I noticed an odd smell, and then I realized that the smell was cheese. If you turn to your left and go down the hallway you can watch the workers through glass windows make cheese. As I looked through the glass I saw big steel machines and workers mixing things into a large silver pan filled with white curds, or at least what I thought was white curds. After watching the process of cheese being made I decided I was pretty hungry and ready for some ice cream. As I walked up to the counter I had a decent variety of flavors to choose from. Being a huge chocolate fan I decided to go with a single scoop of wopper topper fudge on a cake cone. The ice cream was amazing. It was very creamy and rich and was exactly what I was craving. Being in the UNL Dairy Store reminded me of when I first came here about ten years ago with my aunt. All I can recall was I did not like any of the choices of ice cream and I ended up dropping my ice cream cone. Not the best memory but at least I came back and gave it a second try and found the dairy store a more pleasant experience.
