Politician offended by landfill ice cream One Staten Island politician apparently doesn't have a sweet tooth for a locally-made vanilla ice cream with brownie chunks and cherries. That's because the ice cream in question, marketed under the moniker "Staten Island Landfill," is "insulting and derogatory," borough president James Molinaro wrote in a letter on his Web site, in which he calls for a boycott of the treat, which is also packed with heart-shaped chocolate "crunchies" and fudge. "The stereotyping of our community is as ignorant as it is hurtful," the infuriated politician wrote. "Even the most basic research effort would easily reveal the positive qualities that truly define our community." For decades, until it closed in 2001, the city carted its refuse to a landfill in Staten Island, which residents there despised. Molinaro wrote that the borough has consistently been named the "greenest, cleanest and safest." Kim and Scott Myles, the Queens couple who founded 5 Boroughs Ice Cream, which produces "Staten Island Landfill," said they intended no harm with the moniker. Kim Myles, 33, told the Daily News in Wednesday's edition that it is a "flavor with heart." The company markets other city-based ice cream flavors, including "Jackson Heights Mangodesh," "South Bronx Cha Cha Chocolate" and even "Upper East Side Rich White Vanilla." The chairman of the upper East Side Community Board 8, David Liston, said if the ice cream was good, he would eat it. Those who tried the Landfill ice cream said the name wasn't a big deal. "It's not like we'll be expecting to see a syringe or a rubber boot in there," said Joe Melendez, an ironworker from Brooklyn. The Staten Island borough president has offered an alternate name for a Staten Island ice cream — "Ferry Berry," after the Staten Island Ferry.
