ICE CREAM MONDAY w/ THE FRETS!

Ice Cream Monday

'Making life a little more delicious, one week at a time'

This week we caught up with Brisbane's very own soon to be internationally acclaimed Ice Cream reviewers.


We caught up at the infamous valley sugar-shack. ShliX to sample some of their wares.
And after a fairly intensive perusal of the options, the boys finally decided on their flavours.

Matt - Cookies + Cream
Peter - Chubby Watermelon
Maui - Ferrero Rocher
Mitchell - Red Bull

However the Ice Cream suddenly took second place as Peter caught up with his long time sweetheart and movie-star friend Isabel Lucas (yeah - the crazy robot chick from Transformers!!)

So after about 20minutes of listening to Peter trying to offer Isabel the remains of his melted ice cream (awesome by the way) we got back to business....

Unfortunately everyone had somehow managed to get flavours that

"tasted exactly like the things they were named after"

Matt's ice cream (bottom centre) was described as tasting like actual pieces of cookies were in there....
Peter's Chubby Watermelon (left)... Just like biting into that sweet darker bit of a fresh watermelon....

I had a Walnut on a date (top right) - one of my favourites by far - if you haven't yet tried it... Put it on your list of things to do before you die... right below Isabel Lucas :P

Maui's Ferrero (top left) yeap you guessed it.... just Like a Ferrero Rocher - although he did put alot of brain power into coming to that conclusion (bless his cotton socks)

However we finally hit upon a literary gold mine with Mitchell's Red Bull (bottom right)

Tasting like - a carbonated apple juice on stereoids... bam!

In an effort to get a little more from the review process than complementing ShliX for making flavours that immaculately represent the things they're named after... We made a group decision to get one more....

A bit Chai

Tasting something like a creamy doughnut....
.... but more like the type you get from woolies...
...... and with faux Chai powder (according to Maui)

The gauntlet was definitely thrown down - and we'll be sure to follow up on the ingredients with ShliX in the coming weeks.

Resting back into the lull after a fairly intense sugar rush - the boys wandered back to get ready for a gig. They're off overseas to showcase their new material for labels in LA, New York and London and will be back on Australian shores sometime in March.

We're gonna try and get an international guest review in the mean time....

Until then !!!

Peace, Love and Double-scoops!
