Locavores might have issues, even though the organic ingredients include eggs from Polyface Farms. Virginia-based Perfect Flavor allows you to customize your frozen treats of choice using a base of gelato, sorbet, mousse, sweet-cream ice cream, yogurt, or French custard -- that's only the first step. Next comes picking a flavor: vanilla, chocolate, caramel, or coffee. Then prepare to go as sweet or savory as you like by opting for things like fruit, cookie dough, toffee, or maybe get all herbal with a touch of rosemary. Seasoning notes range from cayenne to cocoa powder, poppy seeds, peppermint, and ginger (okay, maybe not all together). Naming rights are yours. Then again, for the price, they should be. The minimum order of four pints cost $119.99 plus shipping. Savor it slowly.
