Isn't that fun to say? My receipt gave me endless giggles.
After dinner at Saf we explored Whole Foods a bit. I'd already picked up a bag of crisps before dinner, but was intent on finding something sweet for dessert; Saf's options were too fruity for my taste.
I found an unexpected treasure in the frozen section under "alternative ice cream"- an apt but still humorous description.
Booja Booja makes a few flavors of dairy-free, gluten-free, soya free, organic, mostly raw ice creams (as well as chocolate truffles). This Whole Foods had only the chocolate- erm, hunky punky chocolate ice cream flavor, but of course that was a-ok by me.
I can't pinpoint exactly what it reminded of, but let me know if you figure out. Soooo light, airy, and creamy. It looks like it's only available abroad, which is probably a good thing. There's a reason I don't keep Lula's in my freezer at home.
It was more than a little chilly out, so I had no reason to rush to eat it other than it was so good. It probably deserved to be enjoyed in a much nicer setting.
London Tip: The tube stops running at midnight! Cabs and pedi-cabs abound, but be fore-warned so you don't panic when you find a locked, metal gate between you and the station.
Still giggling.

Great name for a dessert that makes people happy. I was expecting it to have chocolate chunks — chocolate hunks — but it sounds lovely even if it was just smooth and silky. Did it have any hunky chunks?
ReplyDeleteAndrea- generally I prefer a flavor with chunks, but there was something about the texture of this ice cream that really lent itself to the uninterrupted smoothness. I don't think they make a flavor with bits, but that's not stopping anyone from making a sundae...
ReplyDeletethe maple pecan has some pecan bits- but not very many though...
ReplyDeleteSmooth and airy sounds like the way I like my ice cream: more like a mousse. I can see why you might like it better than hunky chunky punky.
ReplyDeleteIsn't everything in London slightly punky anyway?
Dang, now I really gotta try Lulas.
I would laugh enough just seeing Pounds on my receipt.
