Snooker joy

[altariel]

What makes the third session of the "888.com" World Snooker Championship so special is that you're allowed a Cornetto.

My tastes were formed in the early 80s and therefore a Cornetto is a product so stylish and expensive that it's bordering on decadence. Why, Ambassador, I'm not sure I have room for those Ferrero Rochers after my slice of Vienetta.

Thank you. :) It looks like 1954 was a seminal year:

God, I remember Mivvis now! I just didn't know the name!

Ha! We had both of those, but under different names. Our versions came in several fruit flavours,and I liked the orange best.

I'm not up on what we have now because I haven't bought that sort of thing since school. When I do have ice cream now, which is rarely, it's gourmet flavours in a freshly made waffle cone, usually at this ice-cream cafe.

Ooh, they have two excellent recipes up, the first one very like one I made as a teenager. I shall have to come back to this site.
