I'm happy that your new town is conducive to walking cos I hate living anywhere that is not. However, I'm salivating your ice cream. There's only a small coffee shop that serves basic ice cream in the town where I live, and unfortunately, I walked to town a few days ago, only to be told that he stopped serving ice cream for the rest of the winter season. I ended up buying a homemade banana shake that was lovely, but I like to eat ice cream all year round.
Hmm, your ice cream scoops look similar to the size that we get in Jamaica. It's nothing like a European portion.
You love the flavours that I wouldn't taste unless there wasn't any other one.
Since pink is a delicate colour, I think it should be on the top. In terms of taste, maybe the fruity taste before the chocolate, as well. It's hard for me to tell because it's rum and raisin and pistachio for me. Ideally, I'd probably prefer to have the pistachio at the bottom and the white/cream rum and raisin on the top, appearance-wise. However, I would like to end with my favourite taste which is rum and raisin so I would prefer it to be at the bottom. Another thing is that rum and raisin tend to be on the softer side, so a server is more inclined to place it at the top so that I would eat it before it melts.
Yeah portions in north America tend to be much larger. One scoop here would be equivalent to two scoops in France lol.
Yeah there is a sort of science to what flavor goes where. Softer on top for sure. That makes sense. Sometimes sweet vs. salty plays a role as well.
