The accompaniments are equally impressive. The mashed potatoes are velvety smooth, and the buttered vegetables provide a balanced contrast to the hearty pork.

Both scoops had a luscious, smooth texture that simply melted in the mouth. The ice cream had a good balance of airiness, preventing it from feeling too heavy, and it was just the right temperature, not too soft or too hard.
