I is for Ice Cream

 Every alphabet book I saw as a child had "I is for Ice Cream" so, big kid that I am, I'm sticking with that.

I'm a child of the fifties and ice creams were a special treat.  There was a local ice cream company called Sargents and they sold totally delicious vanilla ice cream cornets and nothing else.  They sold only from vans and the driver would announce his presence by ringing a big, noisy bell.

Move on twiddly-umpty years and ice cream was one of the things I avoided when I cut back on ultra processed foods.  At one time I always had a tub in the freezer but no more.  Ice cream now has to be A Treat.

When I visited the Humber Bridge and went to Far Ings Nature Reserve I sat in the viewing room for quite a while.  There wasn't a cafe but there was an ice cream cabinet.  And I succumbed to one of these.

To be honest it was OK but not as good as I remembered.    Maybe abstaining from UPFs has changed me.

But then Bonnie came for lunch and I made some mango ice cream.  Sorry I didn't take a photo but I was enjoying it too much to take time out to do that.  That was ice cream to savour!

So "I" can still be for "Ice Cream" in this OAP's book!
