Yesterday we decided to go to Ayr because although it was a bit windy the sun was out! A day at the coast deserves an ice cream so we decided to go to Renaldo's.
Renaldo's makes all their ice cream on the premises and there was a huge selection of flavours.
One of the flavours available was Turkish Delight ice cream which is a flavour I love and remember from a childhood visit to Cyprus. So I had a small tub with two scoops, one of Old Fashioned Vanilla and one of Turkish Delight. Martin stuck to vanilla.
They were making ice cream when we were there and the owner told us his wife is a Chocolatierre and she makes the chocolates upstairs. They looked delicious but I did manage to abstain but only because I had managed to come out without any money and was relying on Martin's generosity!
The vanilla was okay but has quite an unusual colour and flavour. The Turkish Delight was sweet and exotic and just as I like it.
I have moved back to Scotland recently (well okay it was over a year ago!) and am rediscovering the delights of locally made Italian ice cream. I have set myself the mission to try to taste as many as I can. I love huge Knickerbocker Glories but can be satisfied with a small vanilla ice, preferably turned into a McCallum with some home-made raspberry sauce. I am aided in the quest by my partner Martin.
