Sometimes I use the microwave for a few seconds to soften hard-frozen ice cream (for spoonability), or to soften a cold stick of butter (for spreadability). In these cases why does the center of the food heat first but the edges stay cooler; but when I microwave leftovers or soup in a dish for lunch, the edges of the food get hot first and middle stays cool?

Ice Cream Filter: When in Taiwan a few years back, I enjoyed an ice cream that was described to me as "chinese potato." It was purple in color, and it tasted slightly sweet, but otherwise relatively benign. What the hell did I likely eat? (Googling brings up very nearly nothing.)

Why can't I find peanut butter ripple ice cream on the West Coast? My parents live in Central Pennsylvania (Mechanicsburg/17055), and the local groceries all carry at least three different brands of Peanut Butter Ripple. But when I get back home to the Bay Area, no luck. Nobody appears to have even heard of it. So, uh, why is this? Is there a reason? Or is this, like scrapple, just one of those things that defy explanation?

I'm trying to remember the name of an ice cream shop in Asheville, NC, or thereabouts. I was there in 2002, I believe. They used a big machine that loudly pulverized your ice cream flavor and toppings together, and then extruded it like soft serve. Is this place still around? I got the feeling that it was kind of like a franchise, and that the machines could be found elsewhere. Best ice cream I've ever had.
