Simply Bananas About Ice Cream
Ice cream cones are always welcome on a warm sunny afternoon whilst out walking. It doesn't matter which country you might be in or where you might be walking because there is just something perennially attractive about a simple ice cream cone.
The only problem tends to be choosing a flavor because there are so many to chose from. I was at any ice cream parlor the other day where there were no less than 30 ice cream flavors on display, some of which I had never seen before and that's saying something!
Amongst the flavors on offer were chestnut, saffron, prune and goat's cheese and the parlor owner was kind enough to give me a taste of them all. How's that for sharing in a passion for ice cream!
The fact that I had just had an appetizing lunch meant that I didn't feel adventurous enough to try any one of those really unusual flavors but I promised myself I would return another time and do so :)
So what did I settle for? Simple banana ice cream. Absolutely delicious.
