Kicking off the blog with an ice cream from Daarn Saarf. This is something of a rarity - should anyone become familiar with this blog they will notice that it stays mostly around the North West.
So, it was a sunny Saturday in Richmond upon Thames. Today I was with BFF Bekah, and my partner in crime Mr Hughes. We had bunked off from our weekday occupations the day before to go to Thorpe Park (which is ACE by the way) so we had that really chilled out feeling you get when you’re slap bang in the middle of a long weekend. We went for a nice walk along the river and back, made almost circular by the fact that there are several paths all doing the same thing.
The ice creams were purchased from a stand attached to a boat cafe called ‘Greedies’. It looked like they had nice food to offer, but we were only interested in one thing...
The ice cream was a Swiss brand, Movenpick. They only had one type of cone, but they were nice fresh waffle cones. No toppings were offered.
BFF B is a definite Fruitie – we have had many ice creams over the years and she always picks a fruit flavour. This time she chose a Blackcurrant Sorbet, it was very tasty and had real blackcurrants in it.
Mr H is quite bold when choosing an ice cream, he is not easily intimidated by an unusual flavour. Today he had Tiramisu. I am not the biggest fan of tiramisu, but the ice cream was a very accurate version of the popular Italian dessert, and contained chunks of biscuit for added effect.
MCC, being predictable, chose Mint Choc Chip. It is my all-time favourite ice cream flavour and I was not disappointed. The choc chips were more like flakes and the chocolate was good quality. The ice cream was nice and creamy without being too rich.
On to the scores:

The only let down was the cone/topping/sauce shortage, other than that, the ice creams were great.
