Not dead. Still reading this, you know, just been a little busy to actually post anything.

So I’m now eating Strawberry and balsamic vinegar ice-cream, and it’s totally delicious, and thought you should all know.

What’s everyone’s favourite strangest ice-cream flavour? *wonders*

[livejournal.com profile] several_bees made garlic ice-cream at Midsummer, and it was quite nice though I wouldn't have wanted lots of it.

What was the one I had in the Pembury, rose sorbet? That was lovely.

I haven't tried the rose sorbet, but the lavender one is very nice!

There's a little cafe in Camden that does rose milkshakes. :-)

It's like cold squidgier Turkish delight. NOM.

Because we're poor, and get our Turkish Delight from the corner shop where it is rose flavoured, not Turkey where it is pistachio flavoured.

Pistachio ice cream is in the Asian section of the freezer, for some reason.

It's on the right-hand-side of the road just past the bridge as you go past the Stables market. They do flavoured coffees and excellent food in addition to milkshakes; [livejournal.com profile] ewtikins and I had lunch there once, and I had coffee with [livejournal.com profile] duranorak, [livejournal.com profile] ashbet and [livejournal.com profile] cavalorn a couple of years ago. It's one of my favourite places to take people. ;-)

Did you create your own or go to See? My parents' freezer was devoid of strawberry ice-cream, so yesterday I ended up eating Cream of Cornish ice-cream with (Norfolk) strawberries and balsamic vinger of Modena. :)

That sounds like a good plan. :) Maybe there is an Open House place to visit nearby, so that we can just somehow be passing See and have to try the ice-cream?

I lack for odd ice-creams to have tried, though I have also heard that Garlic Ice-cream is rather splendid.

Of what I do have, I like Honeycomb ice-cream very much.

We shall pass over the telephone and green mouse ice-cream in silence, I think...

There's a Viking restaurant here that serves tar-flavoured ice cream. I haven't tried it, but some of my friends love it.

This is the second strangely flavoured ice cream post I've read recently. The first, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] vardebedian, is this (http://www.who-sucks.com/food/101-frightening-ice-cream-flavors-from-around-the-world).

Raw horseflesh. Yum.

I haven't had much really weird icecream as I am squeamish, but G&Ds in Oxford sometimes do a yoghurt and honey icecream which is sheer bliss. SO CREAMY.

Ignore the neigh-sayers, says I

I've had tuna sorbet; does that count?

Also, there's a shop in Madrid, somewhere south of Playa del Sol, selling sausage ice cream - made with chunks those industrial-strength Chorizo sausages that hang up in racks like riot batons in spanish delicatessens. I didn't have any: I was with someone, and pretending to be normal.

Singapura also do that, along with an Earl Grey flavour and a Marmalade one.

I'm afraid I'm not one for odd tasting icecream, although I liked the lavender sorbet at the Pembury when I tried it (however a little goes a long way).

The great joy of Livejournal is that I am surrounded by people who are even weirder than I am.

Or better still, just as weird but weird in different ways. This makes every journey an adventure.

I have been trying to find quotes from Amaryllis Night and Day, since I always think about bus-stops if I think about balsamic vinegar for too long.

‘It wasn’t your dream, it was mine. I brought you into it because I tuned in to you. I wasn’t sure I’d connected, though, until you turned up at the Balsamic.’

‘You call it “the Balsamic” as if it’s a place you’re very familiar with.’

‘Too true.’

‘You often wait there for the bus to Finsey-Obay?’

She folded her arms across her chest and hunched her shoulders as if she were cold. ‘More often than I’d like,’ she said, looking past me.

'A bus was coming. No numbers on it, only the destination, FINSEY-OBAY. Not a place I’d heard of. The bus was a tall and delicate thing of bamboo and rice paper, sheets of yellow, orange and pink pasted together and candlelit from within like a Japanese lantern. It was much bigger than a double-decker, towering so high above me that even when I tilted my head back I couldn’t see the top of it.'

sorbets with alcoholic-drinks, I've had pink grapefruit and vermouth (I think it was vermouth. It was a while ago), in .il
and Blood orange and vodka, at the Italian restaurant in Walthamstow village.

The one I had not tried: bluish tinged ice-cream labelled 'smerf' in Poland. I now wish I had tried it.

PLEASE REMEMBER WHO SEES YOU.
