Or is it only a Perth thing to do icecream in winter?

I love ice cream, and a 1l or 2l tub is lucky to make it past 2 days.

But I struggled with my last tub. It’s the first time I can remember that I went ‘Nah, I don’t want any. It’ll be too cold and just unpleasant’. I could only bring myself to eat it at lunchtime.

And now I’ve actually stood in front of the fridge at the supermarket and gone ‘Brrrr, no I’m not buying that. It’ll be cold’.

Somebody help me. I’m now literally softer than ice cream sitting in the sun on a summer’s day 😢

They used to dye vanilla ice cream light blue and sell it as “delphino” around here. I don’t know why but I loved that stuff; that was probably 20 years ago mind you.

Nowadays I’m more of a cassis guy.

Lol. No, it was based on the Spanish wine Málaga.

I never really stop buying icecream through the winter. Demand for Streets Blue Ribbon vanilla ice cream or those generic brand Cornetto knock offs is fairly consistent in this house.

Pretty much anything in the dipping cabinet at Miss Sophia’s Gelateria in Stafford (Brisbane).

Double Espresso is a good one, as is Milo, Vanilla, Pavlova, in fact they’re all good.

Ice cream in winter is one of the perks of living in Brisbane.

Ok describe pavlova as a flavour. Is it just sweet? Is their fruit?

It legitimately tastes like pavlova! Definitely sweet, has that… pavlova… taste. I suspect theres a hint of strawberry as the ice cream is slightly pink. I think they had marshmellow on top of the container in the cabinet but there’s none in the ice cream itself.

You can pretty much buy anything* and it tastes amazing.

* - I’m not vouching for the vegan stuff, never tried it.
