Filipinos has their own cold dessert, sold on the streets, with that "kling-kling" of that small hand bell. Locally known as "sorbetes" or homemadr ice cream or dirty ice cream. It is really dirty? Not really. Maybe it is the way it has been sold, with "sorbetero"--man selling ice cream, pushing a cart, where inside are metal canisters(sorrounded by ice and salt to keep it frozen) filled with flavored ice cream. Most common flavor of dirty ice cream are, mango, milk, ube or purple yam, cheese and of course chocolate. You can have the ice cream in a cone or a bun--burger buns. Would you like to have some if ever?

I am wondering why on the first place was it called "dirty" ice cream when it's delicious also and cheap ha .

@Lucky15 Maybe too because it's being sold in the streets unlike those sold in the mall.

Sounds interesting - I'd probably like some if you can convince me it's not unhealthy dirty ice cream...

@Lucky15 So, is it just what it is called? Why would they choose 'dirty' as a name? It doesn't sound appealing for food, does it?

@sishy7 maybe it is the way they are sold. On cart. Man selling them has no gloves.

We have this in Malaysia as well, but I never heard it's called dirty ice-cream. We have been eating this ice cream since we were young, and there are still many "ice-cream men" riding motorbike selling the ice-cream. We can always recognize them coming by their ring. I always like to have the ice-cream in bun, though I like the cone too. Sometimes we just buy a box of ice cream and make it ourselves at home.

@Lucky15 I'm sure it would taste OK but I prefer to lick ice cream - my teeth are very sensitive to biting anything frozen-cold and ice cream on bread sounds like it would need biting

Hum now not sure about it on a bun but in a cone does sound refreshing. Some of the flavors don't appeal to me much at all. I might try the chocolate but not sure about the yam or cheese. Never heard of anyone making cheese ice cream before.
