I was walking around the area with my parents, acting like a bunch of tourists (because, we kind of are! I just moved here!) and popped my head into this store...it looked really cool from the outside!
Inside, I thought it was a cafe but upon closer inspection the back area served...frozen custard!
"What the heck is frozen custard and who'd eat it?" I thought outloud to myself.
The girl from behind the counter explained...kind of like ice cream and gelato...but insisted that I had to try it for myself to come up with my own explanation. I agreed. She asked if I wanted a free sample.
"Hell yeah!" I responded.
"What flavour? We have tropical fruit, chocolate and one scoop of maple cream left..."
Feeling guilty about potentially stealing a spoonful of someone else's maple cream, I opted for chocolate. The sample came to me on a silver spoon and into my mouth it went.....and it was amazing. It was sinfully delicious, heaven in your mouth, and I was told that it had about the same amount of fat content as gelato.
I'll see it to believe it. But for now, I'm sold on frozen custard. Maybe it's just a different name for ice cream but hey, I'm all about marketing and spin, so frozen custard it is!
Will be back for the full experience!
