The Bells Have Made Me Deaf

This evening the local shop had acquired a selection of ice cream flavours from Glastry Farm. Well, at least four flavours, which is an improvement on just one choice and still a sad lack of whiskey flavour. One of the four being the surplus of Rhubarb and Ginger that no-one but I was brave enough to try. To be fair, the Rhubarb and Ginger stuff did start to grow on me and I managed to finish the tub without too much more gurning about it’s unusualness. This time I played safe and went for Vanilla Bean. Just as I suspected… it’s delicious… so delicious that it comes close to Borza’s ice cream (which is alas no longer in existance) so delicious that I may have to eat the whole thing myself. Fat pig that I am.

While grocery shopping this evening I couldn’t resist trying a new product from Glastry Farm. Rhubarb and Ginger ice-cream. I’ve had rhubarb and ginger jam and quite enjoyed it. I’ve had stem ginger ice-cream and loved it. With that, I thought I’d give it a try.

“Unusual combination and Unusually Delicious”. Yep they got that half right. It was pretty unusual and possibly the most disgusting flavour of ice-cream I have ever tasted. However, I lived to tell the tale and actually finished the helping. Far too much ginger giving it a sickly sweet perfume taste and I can only assume that the pinkish colour must have been the rhubarb which was sadly absent from the flavour or maybe it was just smothered out of recognition by the ginger. The texture of the actual ice-cream was wonderful. On those grounds alone, I would risk another purchase, provided they stick to an edible flavour in future. It seems that so far, Rhubarb and Ginger is all they’ve managed since that was the one and only choice in the shop.

I think everybody should buy it just for the experience. I don’t see why I should suffer alone!
