Gelateria Castellina Very similar in Nice which might as well be half French half Italian I couldn't find a picture that really did the full range available at Fenocchios justice tbh. (shit website) They have a numberof shops in the touristy areas of Nice. About 95 flavours in all, some of them are very odd like Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derryvillan Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Bought a 3 box of Toblerone ice creams 2 months ago that were fantastic but can't remember where from. And haven't seen them anywhere since. Had a few turkish brand Magnums in Marmaris 2 years ago had some sort of berry(blackberry possibly).Gorgeous and in fact had one every day coming back from the beach.

AvfcRigo82 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Had these when in Portugal a couple of years back. Irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I love just about any variety that has chocolate in it. Greatest food ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I only usually have Ice Cream when there's an heat wave. Edited July 20, 2021 by useless Edited out: I remember seeing this workshop thing where you could design your own magnum and I remember thinking 'I don't want to make my own magnum'. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 20, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2021 I could honestly go the rest of my life and never eat ice cream. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly OK and pleasant and blah blah. It's just nothing food, and I get much more pleasure from almost all other kinds of foodie treats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather have a cold drink. Last time I had one was in 48 degree heat 7 years ago. Should have gone for a Pepsi or Diet Coke instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted July 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2021 Anyone local to the Kidderminster/Droitwich area I’d recommend Churchfields. They do amazing ice cream produced on site. So creamy and delicious! I’m partial to salted caramel or a good strawberry ice cream. Mr Whippy from the ice cream man is always a nostalgic classic.

All depends on the mix that is used. Most of them are shysters that use the basic Connelle cheap stuff that doesn't offer much taste. Wall's whippy mix is even worse and utter shite and tasteless. The best mixes are Jersey Dairy or Angelitto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted July 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2021 From a gelateria I'll go pistachio or caramel with extra salt, from a shop I'll pick up a magnum or a feast and, in a similar vein to my enjoyment of both fine dining and aeroplane food, I'm also quite partial to a Mr. Whippy.

mottaloo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I once bought some ice lollies from iceland based on the old bassetts sweet favourites - the foam banana one, strawberry and vanilla "milkshake" and one other that i can't remember all for a bargain price of £1 per box. Absolute shite, all of them. They were ice cream lollies but even at the coldest freezer setting they just stayed semi mushy. Avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
