The ice cream of our lives
There is no summer without ice cream or nostalgia without cheating , so how is it going to be possible to disassociate those ice cream of happiness fuller and more naive (there was nothing better in the world).
Ice cream, popsicles and swimming pool ; the Holy Trinity of those children with rather few dollars in their pockets but a lot of free time, and that is that the visit to the beach bar, kiosk or stall was synonymous with jubilation for what was about to come ( the icecream! ), but also uncertainty ( Would there be 'Patapalos'? ) and sincere love for food. It is that there is no other.
So we have decided to remember those gastronomic jewels between pop and surrealism , because you will tell about the 'Collajet ’, that futuristic Camy ice cream that could well be the icy legacy of marinetti and how well he tried to reflect the impact of the saga starwars in our weak and impressionable neurons: they announced it C3PO and Luke Skywalker !
Which by the way, was the guilty pleasure of our admired Mikel Iturriaga : "The ghost It was always among my favorites for its taste between dairy and chemical. You never knew if what was under the wrapper was going to actually look like a ghost or was going to be a tropidity (industrial products were not as well finished as they are now back in the Cretaceous), and that added a plus of intrigue . But I guess if I was addicted to ice cream, it had to be colajet , although I also tell you that it was a pole that went from more to less: gave a strong initial orgasm with the chocolate tip , a phase that was fine with the lemon part and then the final piece of coke that left me, personally, more indifferent. But only for the high of the beginning, for me it was worth it ”.
Colajet, the futuristic ice cream, what would Marinetti have eaten?
**Ángel León, the chef of the sea**, chooses another impossible classic: Dracula! "That because? The raspberry with the cream, the texture of the ice and that final that the bomb, Dracula! ”.
Another champion of the avant-garde does not fall short, Quique Dacosta whose weakness was 'The shark' : “It was because of its flavor: it was made of ice and had that hypnotic flavor of pineapple for a young man from Extremadura —it was also cheap and the ice allowed it to last longer”; I think Quique is actually talking about the "Friguron", but sometimes this happens with the mind: it plays tricks on us.
Another great of our gastronomy, diego warrior , surprises us with a grayer choice (we weren't expecting this one, Diego): the classic vanilla and almond ice cream . He is one of my favorites, by the way.
Y Paco Morales It is close to proximity because his was the chocolate and meringue milk from the David Rico ice cream parlor in Córdoba: “chocolate because of its addictiveness and deep flavor and meringue milk because it is a classic sweet left by the Arabs in our territory. Now I add orange blossom water or roses ”.
Dracula: raspberry, cream, ice... THE BOMB
Our director at Traveler.es, Maria Fernandez , is armed with nostalgia destroyer : "The frigopie . Pink? But why pink? If she doesn't taste like strawberry. If it tastes like cream... NO? What does Frigopie taste like? But what is this trompe l'oeil due to? It should be noted that in his day there was also the Frigodedo and, things of life, this last one did not succeed, it disappeared, leaving at the foot all the land it deserved in the Frigo ice cream poster of the beach bar at 40 pesetas. 24 cents cost happiness in the 90s. What good times those ”.
The Frigopie, or the basic classic of ice cream and swimming pool summers
We continue with our pizpireta traveling writing hand in hand with Clara Lagoon : “I get a bit Grandma Cebolleta, but this story is mythical in our family! The ice cream that has to be on this list is, without a doubt, the Camy Cat . I don't remember what it was like or what it tasted like, but it's part of the Laguna legend that we went on a trip to the mountains when I was very little and, when my father couldn't carry me on his back anymore, I exclaimed: "When we get to the top, I'll order a Camy Gato!" (Obviously, there were no kiosks or Camy Gatos upstairs).”
I, to be honest, have been exercising for years a insane, obsessive and almost grotesque devotion to the Maxibon Cookie ; And yes, I am one of those who saves the cookie part **(cookie with chocolate chips and vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips)** for last: the best for the end!
But that was until he crossed my life oreo sandwich . because now how I drink Valdés and Diego El Cigala, I have a crazy heart.
Not a summer without Maxibon Cookie
