You know, just a normal day. Hot outside, hot in work, air conditioning is insufficient, you're sweating like a pig, so after work you'll go outside to fetch a scoop of a good ol' ice cream. I hate that crap that most shops sale in big packages - too sugary, too artificial, not enough ice cream in it if any. (I am this demanding since I was in Italy for a month and tasted REAL ice cream)
What is even more strange, I simply couldn't find any classic lemon ice cream, all of these shops or stands had something that has hardly any decent taste and flavours are just crazy as well. My friend recommended me this ice cream shop, but even the description discourages me:
"Favourites like roasted marshmallow, lemon meringue, coffee toffee, and banana chocolate chip are what keep the customers coming back. Greg's also offers flavours like star anise, cardamom, sweet cream, stout, and strawberry yogurt. All the varieties are creamy and bursting with rich taste. When you sample the roasted marshmallow flavour, you spend most of your time wondering, How does it taste so much like roasted marshmallows?"
Roasted marshmallows? Seriously? Is there a hot dog ice cream too? I mean, I know that I might sound like a hater, but all I want is a decent "oldschool" ice cream, because I think that these "enhancements" are trying to change something that was perfected long time ago in Europe.
So what's your opinion on these ice creams? Which one do you prefer? Am I the only one who cares for the good ol' lemon, apple or hazelnut flavour? And do you have any tips for a good ice cream in Toronto or perhaps a good brand that I'd be able to buy in walmart, loblaws etc.. ?
P.S.: yeah I am becoming pretty much grumpy.
