Wow; Argentines really know how to do ice-cream. It is thick, creamy, and rich, and it is not uncommon for families to have it delivered to their door for dessert.
The first week I got here Tim and Annette took me out for ice-cream. The ice-cream-man packed two flavors into a sugarcone and handed me my dessert with a tiny little shovel planted in the side of the ice-cream. As he handed it to me Tim started telling me about Argentines and their ice-cream. "Whatever you do, don't -" and he lept towards me the moment I started to bring it towards my mouth "- lick it!" Its like girls eating a banana apparently. Once you get inside you can eat it however you like, but you never touch it to your mouth in public. Gotta use the shovel.
Tonight I was invited to a friend's home for dinner where we had Shepherd's Pie followed by order-in ice-cream. We ordered four different flavours that we received packed into one container right next to eachother. Interesting... Its a good idea to order flavours that complement eachother! Lemon doesn't go so well with Dulce De Leche for your information.
Honestly, I always thought there was something a little vulgar about sticking out your tongue and coating it with a thin layer of ice cream before slooping it back in your mouth. And then repeating the process. Kinda gross when you think about it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should move to Argentina???
