Damn you all to hell. Now I’m going to have to eat some ice cream tonight. And I was doing so well all week. I ain’t cucumbers, carrots, and celery for lunch today! Do you hear me?!

This post should have had some sort of dietary warning.

Damn you Dan and Amy, my reading of your ice cream and sugar focused blog yesterday lead to an irrestible desire to have some ice cream last night. Sadly we don’t live near enough to any ice cream makers to have freshly made stuff so I had to make do with Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked concoction.

It was delicious though and made the watching of a Steven Seagal film all the more bearable.

’tis the same in the tiny north east pit village from whence my wife hails - Riggy’s Cafe sells their home made ice cream just like they have done since the Italien Mr Riggy made the place his home after being released from a POW camp - it too is only vanilla and it too is gorgeous, so much so that the cafe bit of the cafe does no business whatsoever and the maidens who work there spend all their time scooping ice cream from the depths of their huge freezer.

There is also the tale of the two daughters of Riggy who fought over the secret recipe when he died, and then split the business in half, but thats for another day.

Seems Amy has inherited your childhood attachment for ice cream from a van, which unfortunately for our waistlines, has extended to us. It is the first time we have ever lived anywhere where there is a regular van delivery. Luckily Grandad always has his “fast trainers” on to get our there before the van departs.

Vanilla? That’s all they make? I’m sure it’s fantastic, but my god, man, where’s the excitement?

We all know Dixon’s ice cream is hands down the best in the world. Bizarrely though, you can’t freeze it, which seems to defy the point of ice cream a little…
