Ronald Reagan did one good thing, and that was to mandate that July be national ice cream month. That's ice cream as in the sweet, frozen stuff, it has nothing to do with odd foodstuffs served in cones and does not come in pizza flavor (yet).
I love a teaspoon of vanilla ice cream in my espresso in the summer. If Mon Cher and I didn't alternate for our weekly shopping there would be a lot more of it in our house. We did, for a short, blissful time last year, live right next door to the ice cream shop Is á Bella in Malmö. We realised it had gone a bit too far when our breakfast seemed lacking without a scoop of coffee ice cream. Sadly, our current abode offers nothing in the way of feeding our summertime fix: ICA only stocks Ben&Jerry's sickly sweet kiddie delights as well as their own special brand of frozen air with sweetened cream whipped through it.
Anyway, as summer is here I'm picking up the strangest recipes for ice cream, and some really spaced-out condiments too. I've had an unfortunate experience with vanilla ice cream and a tired mind (Swedes: cola and kola are two different things and one of them does not compliment ice cream...) so while perusing blogs for the ultimate icecream topping I sometimes just have to take the authors word for it.
So, what is my favorite ice cream? There are classics, of course, such as caramel and sea salt and espresso - but Titti's special ice cream made from ängssyra might just take the prize. You prefer something savoury? Her ruccola ice cream sure makes eating rabbit food more appealing...
