ICE CREAM MONDAY - Double-scoop

Ice Cream Monday

Every now and again we experience (and I’m sure many of you would have once experienced) the phenomenon that occurs when one consumes too much Ice Cream… I would term it… brain freeze…

I should add that this has however, the characteristics much more aligned with a stroke… We’ve still been eating ice cream… We just haven’t updated the blog. I’ve been recovering. Thanks for asking.

So after a few little self directed meta-cognitive therapy sessions – we’re back online!

Last week – the 5^th of April, we went for another new addition to the ‘supermarket gourmet’ selection “Maggie Beer” – Burnt Fig Jam, Honeycomb and Caramel.

It’s a little bit fun. Has a strong / yet chilled quintessential caramel scent that wafts out of the bucket after you open in, and some well formed veins of honeycomb that pop in and out of every scoop. Delicious.

I’d call this a ‘heavy’ ice cream, very powerful taste… you probably wont get past 2 average scoops, or 150CCs for you nurses out there.

Week 2 (Yesterday) – we went a little more informal and picked up a Paddle Pop Cyclone while at the beach after a swim and a sunbake.

The Cyclone is an amazing piece of ice cream genius. It’s kinda like a slushie but not… It’s actually really hard to describe but it’s the consistency that makes it amazeballs… it’s probably the closest that ‘out of the deep-freezer beach side covenience store’ selections get to what aficionados would describe as a ‘fruit sorbet… on a stick’.

It’s also good for suggesting to your new girlfriend on a first date.. (go get one and you’ll see why).

The Paddle Pop Cyclone has got the fun, carefree flavours that Paddle Pop do best (all artificial I’m sure), balanced with a texture that’s a little more grown up… then they make it look completely radioactive and something like a glowstick… just to keep it in the market for kids..

It’s a perfect summer treat J

Thanks for stopping by – let’s not make it so long between visits next time J
