The ice cream van is here!

A king cone? I've never heard of those!

I really want to try one of those oyster shell ice creams; if anyone has any feedback - are they as nice as they look?

A highball/ screwball with raspberry sauce ( cone shaped plastic tub with a chewing gum in the bottom ...)

Please

Are they the chocolate coated with coconut on ?  Lush when the ice cream makes them soggy 

Cher_Alumni

@WelshBlue One screwball scramble coming your way - excellent choice. And yes! They are those with coconut sprinkled on. I think I'm going to treat myself to one from another vendor, as I've none in my ice cream van 

I need to get rid of some orange calypsos if anyone wants one. 

Alex_Alumni

I'll have a calypso instead then! Thank youuu

The hallowed King Cone, found on the Greek Islands (and probably elsewhere in Europe) is a mega cone with loads of whippy vanilla ice cream, and frozen chocolate sauce topping (with choc inside the cone too!) It is something to behold

I'm going to be Mr. Grumpy, Parking Ticket, 14 days to pay!! or Strawberry Cone, with a Dark Chocolate Flake!!   

Cher_Alumni

<hands @Alex_Scope a calypso) Enjoy!!

@rebel11 A dark chocolate flake?! I didn't even know they existed. Mind blown. I need to get some for my van, so I'm afraid it's a standard milk choc flake in your cone today. Come back next week.

@Cher_Scope

Are there any positions open? i.e. Official & Chief Ice Cream Taster for the Ice Cream Van.
My CV., only been sacked 3 times for flavour irregularities, to be honest, I mixed up Strawberry for Coconut on the one occastion, your business will flourish if you take me on!!

@rebel11 Funny you should ask actually. I'm looking to step my business game up, and have an opening for an 'Ice cream artiste'. Essential criteria on the job spec:

• Good understanding of cones
• Excellent sprinkling technique
• Whips ice cream with flair

Please forward CV and I'll have a peruse. I might be open to giving you a trial run if, and only if, I'm impressed

Do I have to choose?! Mint choc chip 

Cher_Alumni

@ClaraSais I know, the collection of ice-cream I have on offer can be overwhelming. But mint choc chip never fails to hit the spot! Classic selection.

<Hands over mint choc chip cone to Clarasais>

ClaraSais

@Cher_Scope funnily enough my family hate mint choc chip so I get it all to myself lol

Cher_Alumni

@ClaraSais They don't know what they're missing out on 

WelshBlue

I've always wanted to put ice cream van music on cd and drive past kids with the music on full blast ...

Just shared that with my wife and she thinks it's a good job I've got my Psychologist appointment this afternoon ...

If my custom is still welcome ... sun is shining, a retro Cider Quench would be nice now.  Tangy and sharp

Cher_Alumni

@WelshBlue The audacity of you. I can just imagine them poor bairns faces ha.

Oooft a cider quench, that is bang on the money. And luckily, I have 3 left in the freezer <hands you one>

I'm still working on my CV, this reminds me of the Mary Celeste Interview a long time ago, it was group interview, well known high street retailer. I can't remember the actual number, say 14, before it started a couple left 'to park their cars, never returned, a girl left for the ladies but never came back, people kept on disappearing.

I've not been to your van before but I've heard great reviews. Do you have any lemon ice sorbet? And can you deliver about 3pm today please?  

Thank you!

Wilshyboy

used to love a Sky Ray lolly, do they still make them?

rebel11

I think this could count against me (I haven't said this, I deny all knowledge of this post). You could make Ice Lollies at home, you just need molds and some sticks. We use to do that all the time.

Should read moulds.
