Liquorice.

Signor Palumbo saw my eyes light up as I spied the new tub. He confessed that this was batch no. 3 of liquorice, but that it had indeed taken 3 attempts to perfect. First it was too aniseedy, then too sweet.

Now, by God it is truly creamy and altogether sensational.

Igloo Zoo opened on the corner of Greenknowe Av and Macleay St, Potts Point in January this year.

They have 3 flavours, green tea, pomegranate and original and then a whole heap of toppings, including organic chocolate shavings, halva, guava and pomegranate seeds, from which to choose.

Last week, Wow Cow opened on Darlinghurst Rd, opposite Tropicana. They were dishing up chocolate and original flavours with a choice of toppings including coco pops, oreo, tim tam and fruit loops (???).

Hmm.

Think I would cross the road and head to Messina anyday.
