    "I don’t know what comes to mind for you when you hear the name NAPOLEON, but for me it used to be a pretty mixed bag.":rolleyes:


    "My first thought used to always be those buckets of ice cream w/ all 3 flavors in 1, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry… you know … NAPOLEON ICE CREAM. I always thought; “Napoleon must have been some kind of cool to get an ice cream named after him, or some kind of indecisive to need 3 choices in 1 bucket!”:cool:

    The History Of Ice Cream In London
    "In England, the first recorded serving of ice cream was in 1671 or 1672, at a Feast of St George banquet at Windsor Castle. The lucky recipient of the country's first ice cream headache, we guess, was Charles II and his nearest and dearest."

    "The event, held to celebrate St George — as well as 10 years since Charles was restored to the throne — featured the following delicacy: one plate of white strawberries and one plate of ice cream."

    Analysis of Poem The Emperor of Ice-Cream by Wallace Stevens (LINK)

    [​IMG]
    Wallace Stevens - An Emperor of Poetry?

    The Emperor of Ice-Cream


    Call the roller of big cigars,
    The muscular one, and bid him whip
    In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
    Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
    As they are used to wear, and let the boys
    Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
    Let be be finale of seem.
    The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.


    Take from the dresser of deal,
    Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
    On which she embroidered fantails once
    And spread it so as to cover her face.
    If her horny feet protrude, they come
    To show how cold she is, and dumb.
    Let the lamp affix its beam.
    The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

    "The fundamental message is - eat the ice-cream before time melts it away."


    "This poem is about the affirmation of precious life, made real by the language of imagination."

    I'd call it "ISIS ICES". Top-selling flavors would be: King Tutti-Frutti, Khufu-Frou-Frou, Anubis-cotti, RAsberry with Chocolate Thoth, Osirishcream, and Ptahchio.

    Dara’s Ice Cream

    "It’s not an easy task to standout as an ice cream shop in Cairo. However, Dara’s Ice Cream managed to do just that and our experience was quite remarkable."

    [​IMG]

    "Our first order was a cup containing a scoop of White Coffee and Honeycomb ice cream with half of the cookie on top. The texture of the ice cream in general was simply flawless. It was very rich and creamy (but not in a milky way that would overpower the flavours), yet slightly elastic. The White Coffee ice cream tasted like a delicious frappe with a strong coffee flavour in form of an ice cream scoop. Meanwhile, the Honeycomb simply lived up to its name and tasted exactly like honeycomb."
