X-rated ice cream
Sometimes you think you've seen it all, and then something like this comes along.
Sometimes you categorize a people, in this case the British, as being a certain sort -- perhaps a little uptight -- and then you find out about the Icecreamists (Motto: Agents of Cool).
Check out the Web site, and then the "boudoir" at Selfridges, the high-end department store.
Wow. ...
Here's a description of some of the offerings: "Sweet and savoury ice creams which include Selfridges Ice Cream Sandwich with cream of Cucumber, Gordon's Glory, a 21st century reimagining of the Knickerbocker Glory and 'The Sex Pistol', a Natural Stimulant Ice Cream served as a shot in a pink water pistol!"
If anyone is planning a trip to London before the end of November, we want a full report.
We have Baskin-Robbins. England has the Icecreamists. Life isn't fair.

Another sign of the impending Apocalypse. I'll take Broom's Bloom Dairy any day.

From a Brit colleague: Selfridges basement is heaven on earth, until you check your wallet on the way out that is.

Dahlink, the original photo is still on the Selfridges web page for which EL provided a link (as of now, at least).
I think I can get away with a link to a high-end department store Web site. :-) EL

My, that *is* a picture.
Elizabeth is right. This isn't fair. Not one bite.

We went to the Icecreamists one Saturday. Very cool, delicious icecream, mainly sweet flavours. But $40 for three icecreams & an Americano.

It appears that most every entry on this blog is getting a spam attack.
As for the ice cream, Blue Bell Ice Cream down here is really good.
