There's a small family owned place here called "The Cow" that swirls any of 42 flavors of italian ice with vanilla or chocolate frozen custard. It's fucking awesome. I get the chocolate ice (which has mini chocolate chips in it) swirled with chocolate custard. WOAH.

Italian Ice is only properly obtained from a pizzeria, and only properly served in a folded paper cup that allows you to squeeze out every last bit, much like a toothpaste tube.

Chocolate is the best flavor.
Abstinence, like all things, is best practiced in moderation.

Of Italian Ice? What? I've never heard of that. I'm a lemon girl myself- I've never liked any of the red-dyed varieties, and rainbow is mostly just that.

Gellati is italian ice and frozen custard swirled together. I loves it.
I just had this for the first time tonight (a Rita's recently opened nearby). It was pretty damn great.

(Why did I actually remember this thread and come back to post that?)
