Lunch 2024

A picture-perfect day with cobalt-blue skies and not a cloud in sight. What else could we have for lunch than the best ice cream in town?

To the left chocolate hazelnut sorbet. The richest, most chocolatey sorbet I’ve ever had, with toasted hazelnuts and chonks of chocolate :yum: To the right, pear sorbet, white chocolate with salted pistachios and caramel (amazeballz), and coconut-mango-black sesame.

Money shot. The pear sorbet was tarter than expected. It was all fantastic, of course.

No Sizilianische Piztazie?

You know we’ll grab a pint some day to take home :wink:

It was tempting, and the choices are always tough… I got Kinder-sized scoops this time - a bit smaller & cheaper than the regular size, and it allowed me to try 3 flavors instead of ‘just’ 2.

Also, the Sicilian pistachio is always on their menu. It is En-Croy-Able (as you know from my previous raves), for sure.

I don’t speak German but I’d be interested in knowing what the Hokey Pokey tastes like :slight_smile:

I guess I’ll have to put my right hand in then take my right hand out then shake it all about. :notes: That’s what it’s all about! :notes:

Berlin, Germany. I’m here for a couple of months like every summer :slight_smile:

I am very, very lucky.

It’s vanilla ice cream with crispy bits of caramel. I’ve not had it.

Last year (when we lived in even closer walking distance to HokeyPokey) they had a pecan ice cream with chocolate bits & it was so good I checked every day before we left if they had it again. They did not.

I am hopeful for this summer :slight_smile:

I did think of that, but didn’t quite get that it was summer already. :exploding_head: :exploding_head:

If we’re going by the nighttime temps here (2˚C / 35˚F) we’re pretty damn far from summer ATM :cold_face:

Using up the last of the rye bread and Swiss. 3rd grilled cheese in 3 days. I really should go grocery shopping tomorrow, but I’m glad I’m eating through the stash. Added my usual lightly sautéed onion, and at the urging of a friend, some sliced tomato.

Washed down with a Sprecher’s Lo-cal Root Beer. (It’s really good). Nothing but fine dining here at Chez Meekah.

I can’t speak for all the places, but HP charges 2,80€ for regular & 1,90€ for Kinderkugeln.

The regular ones are very large.

Given how often (not very often) I use the stuff it will probably last until the next shortage :joy:
