We have this great Italian ice cream place here in town - Paciugos. Tonight I tried a new flavor called Mediterranean Sea Salt Caramel. Does it sound good to you????
They will serve up to 3 flavors in a small cup. I actually got the Mediterranean Sea Salt Caramel with Mint Choc. Chip and Tiramisu. It was yummy!! Peronally, I LOVED the sea salt caramel.
Would you have tried this new flavor?? My husband was eyeing a new flavor called Banana Carrot, but he changed his mind at the last minute. What about that one for you??

mmm unusual! lol It is strange but sometimes flavours you think may be awful together actually work really well! I love caramel but I am not too sure about the sea salt! Actually at first I wrinkled up my nose at the thought of banana and carrot! Now i can actually taste it and it tastes really good - I want to try it for real! xxx

You actually could taste the salt, but it was like a smooth creamy salt if you can imagine.

I am adventurous, and I would try either one in a heart beat. I think we put carrots into things to fool us into believing they are health foods. LOL. What makes Italian Ice cream different from American Ice Cream?

It is said to be much healthier because they use all natural products.

It is an interesting site, tells about 'the art of gelato' - which is what they call it rather than ice cream.

Chip and Tiramisu has to rock!!! If the tiramisu is not too strong with coffee it's one of my favorites. I'm not a huge fan of caramel though...but i could try. And banana carrot...sounds interesting...worths a try.

You actually could taste the salt but it was very subtle.

I'll pass - I'm not very adventursome when it comes to trying new foods particularly and when it comes to ice cream I don't get it often so when I do want to make sure I will enjoy it - strawberry or mint chocolate chip being my favorites :)

I've never heard of these flavours before, but would likely try them all once, just to see. I mean, I've never heard of the sea salt caramel, and the banana carrot. I love mint chocolate chip though, and have never 'actually' tried tiramisu, in any form. I've always wanted to try 'fried ice cream' too, and still enjoy Italian spumoni flavour, when I can get it.

it has been years since I've had it, but fried ice cream is really good! I don't usually like tiramisu as it is usually served, but I love the flavors of it so it is good as an ice cream flavor.

I have tried Italian ice cream before and thought it was good but I can't remember the flavors that I tried. They were giving away free samples. I think they call Italian ice cream gelatino or something like that.
