neapolitan

Striped ice cream

Neapolitan ice cream is a block of three flavors—chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry—layered side by side.

The combination allows sampling all three in one slice: We always fought over who got the chocolate stripe of the neapolitan.

The lowercase form appears mainly in this ice cream context. (Capitalized Neapolitan means from Naples.)
