As a chocolate lover, I've always preferred Rocky Road over Double Dutch even when I was a kid. Double dutch was just vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup ripple and chocolate bits as far as I was concerned.
Now, I'm more willing to go for non-chocolate flavors and during the rare times I buy ice cream I usually want to try new-to-me flavors.
Recently, a friend bought a tub of Selecta double dutch ice cream and I was surprised to see it had marshmallows and peanuts, those add-ins I associate with rocky road. Has double dutch always had these and I just never noticed?
I tried searching for what makes a flavor "double dutch" and found only one website referring to heavily dutched cocoa/chocolate and a PDF or nutrition info for double dutch ice cream that seemed to be merely a richer chocolate flavor. The rest were Filipino pages or Asian at most (Walls in Vietnam or Singapore). Rocky road, meanwhile, has a documented history.
Does anyone remember if double dutch always had marshmallows and nuts or is my memory failing me?
