Going for ice cream. What flavour should I bring back for you, CoSo? 👀
@MLClark Is it not as popular there as it is here? I’m a mint chocolate junkie, I went nuts when I first found Andes Mints, then when I found mint and chocolate ice cream, heaven.
I LOVE mint chocolate chip. Possibly my favourite flavour when I lived in Canada. But mint just isn't as popular a flavour here in general, alas. Lots of wonderful fruit flavours we don't have up North, though!
@MLClark I’ve been getting into sherbert lately for the same reason. And also because our small supermarket doesn’t have sorbet. I live the citrus flavors, especially lemon.
Limes are much more abundant here (and make a great sorbet!), but there's also maracuya (passion fruit), mango, mora (blackberry), zapote (sometimes called soapapple), guanábana (soursop)...
If you ever get the chance to try a fresh passionfruit (or passionfruit yogurt) ice cream, do take it! And if you like citrus-y flavours, look for lulo on the menu if ever closer to the equator. (Lulo has been my favourite fruit since I got here. So good in juices!)
@MLClark Passion fruit is a possibility, It might be hard to find the other fruits.i should ask my friend, she teaches English as a Second Language at the community college, she has connections to that sort of information. She had several students from South America last semester.
Now I shall copy down the names because I’ll forget. And limes are my second favorite.
@MLClark What kind of fruit flavors do they like there?
@cjcrew
It's called "Menta Inglesa" (English mint) here. 🙂 Less common, but not absent!
