Forget The Standard Ice Cream Sandwich
For National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, I went with something a little different—a Jewish Deli Ice Cream Sandwich. Vanilla ice cream layered between slices of rye bread, topped with yellow mustard, and plated with pickles.
It’s everything you didn’t know you wanted in a dessert: carbs, condiments, and a deli‑counter sense of confidence. Forget the cookies—this is a sandwich your grandmother might serve if she’d finally given up on tradition and decided dessert should also pair well with pastrami.
Yes, I thought this one up myself. I didn’t want to just photograph more ice cream sandwiches. I’ve been reading about the history of Jewish delis and photographing deli food, and one thing led to another. And if you’re curious, I did try it—and it tasted outstanding!
This photo is part of my commercial food photography—where I sometimes explore the less obvious corners of culinary “artistry.” See more here:
