When I was a child ice cream came in small blocks which were put between two wafers. You could get the same thing covered with chocolate and they cost 6d.
Then there were family-sized blocks, brought home from the shop wrapped in newspaper as insulation. They were vanilla or striped, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.
The ice cream then tasted of margarine and I dread to think what it was made from. Better ice cream came from the Italians and then came Mr Whippy, with whipped emulsion which had never seen actual cream and a 99 chocolate stuck in the top.
I think it was the 90s before we started to buy good dairy ice cream in cornets or tubs and I love it! In Rome there were a hundred flavours and even supermarket ice cream is pretty good now.
On this boiling hot day, which ice cream do you fancy?
