Now that it's summer it really feels good to eat some cold food like ice cream. I used to eat some flavor-of-the-road ice cream when I was a kid. Our old neighbor was very good in making ice cream. He used to give us some additional ice cream which makes the ice cream on top of the cone very long. There were times when we asked him to put the ice cream in a cup so we can get some more for free. In where I am currently living however, there is no ice cream like that. I just miss my favorite homemade ube ice cream.

Of course i really love the dirty ice cream the one which was sell on the streets during summer time. I really love the flavor of ube, mango, chocolate and the buko flavor. It is best with barquillos, one of the famous delicacies here in negros occidental.

True. The ice cream made by big manufacturing companies has dominated the market that is why you seldom see the original ones.

hmm. i wonder what this flavor of the road ice cream means. is that the one that the vendors here in the Philippines were selling? if that so, then, i am in the same boat with you. hehe. but, because of my tooth sensitivity, i am not fond of it anymore. if there is, then fine. but i prefer more of the selecta ice cream. hehe. social class. where are you now te?

Yes it is the ice cream sold by vendors. I'm still in the Philippines but there are no ice cream vendors in the subdivision where I am living in right now. I haven't seen someone selling it for a long time. I don't even see it when I go to the city. I just remembered the ice cream when I scanned my photos.

flavor-of-the-road... are we talking about dirty ice cream? the one they sold on push carts? is that right? I always love eating this type of ice cream. Eveyrtime I hear that bell from that ice cream vendor, I always run outside the house and buy one.

Yes it is exactly the ice cream that I am referring to. The bell really makes the kids run out of the house :)

Are you talking about "Dirty Ice cream"? I think that's our term for that ice cream :D I miss that. We usually eat it with bread when we are really hungry. Ice cream are put inside the bread. Its really yummy. For those that haven't tried it I suggest you try it. I don't know if the taste will be the same if you use ice cream that are sold in groceries. :D
