ICECREAMS! MELTING INDULGENCE

Be it in the hot smouldering summers or those cozy winters! Who can resist a smooth, creamy scoop of ice cream! Well I can’t and am sure most of you can’t either ! Ice cream is a frozen dessert made from dairy products, such as cream (or substituted ingredients), combined with flavorings and sweeteners, such as sugar.

So what makes those creamy foods so irresistible! For me its lovely to get those icy smoothness in the summers and in winters it leaves my cheeks rosy red, a nice way to get those rosy redness when u forget blush before going to that party...............

Ice cream has many precedors before it ended up as what it is now! Faloodah that is recognised as a very old pershian delicacy, Fruit toppings mixed with ice brought from the mountains sserved for  Roman Emperor Nero, Chinese people are known to eat frozen milk and rice as desert. Imagine people hating icecreams well am sure some did like the salves Roman emperor Nero sent to the Apennine mountains to collect snow to be flavoured with honey and nuts or the horsemen Mughal emperors sent to bring ice from the Hindu Kush to Delhi,!!!!!!!!!

Now came the age of TRUE yummy ICE CREAM the  sundae the nuts, the waffle cones the chocolate dips and the candies! Today we get ice cream flavours of the weirdest of kinds ranging from goats’ milk ice cream to horse flesh ice cream, the egg plant ice cream or the shark fin ice cream TAKE YOUR pick.

Good news for addicts:  Going healthy is the way the world goes these days but No the ice-cream addiction is also called obesity these days (not for those lucky few who stay slim no matter what they eat).  But hey no fear you don’t have to give up ice ceam try the WHEAT ICECREAM that generally even comesin an environment friendly packaging or try the Aojiru Ice Cream. Aojiru, literally a broth of green-leafed vegetables.

BAD news: it still can get you to the door step of diabetes!

Beware: Funny side effects of ice cream : those hard ice Candies can make your tongue stick to them painfully, eat ice cream at one go and you get a brain freeze ( never believed it  and then got it ,....was blanked out for 2 whole minutes!).

Amul, baskin  robins or gelato, ben and jerry or vadilal every ice cream gives me pleasure and am sure to many of you too ! A friend who confesses she is a avid follower of gelato loves t eat icecreams day in and out in winters or in summers ! “ Thats the way girl” I said . But h she wants to stay away so much but she can’t resist herself “thats the way a guilty pleasure works , my dear” I comment
