I am down to home-brand branded icecream. Used to buy the [supermarket expensive] ice cream but now they are all above the price threshold I am prepared to pay.

It was -4° this morning, I'll go outside and crunch on frozen grass, mmmmmmm.

is it only a Perth thing to do icecream in winter

I dunno about Perth, but it's definitely not a me thing. Damn place is cold enough this time of year without consuming pure coldness.

That said, I'm big on cookies and cream or mango swirl. But not for the next 4 and a bit months.

Pretty much anything in the dipping cabinet at Miss Sophia's Gelateria in Stafford (Brisbane).

Double Espresso is a good one, as is Milo, Vanilla, Pavlova, in fact they're all good.

Ice cream in winter is one of the perks of living in Brisbane.

I never really stop buying icecream through the winter. Demand for Streets Blue Ribbon vanilla ice cream or those generic brand Cornetto knock offs is fairly consistent in this house.

They used to dye vanilla ice cream light blue and sell it as "delphino" around here. I don't know why but I loved that stuff; that was probably 20 years ago mind you.

Nowadays I'm more of a cassis guy.

No, icecream antidepressants. Chocolate or coconut or both

The Connoisseur baked cookie one I cannot stop eating this winter. I only buy it if it's on special though.

Been a bit partial to vanilla icecream with one of those mini nonnas apple pies lately. If i'm feeling adventurous, a bit a custard to.

I love ice cream, and a 1l or 2l tub is lucky to make it past 2 days.

But I struggled with my last tub. It's the first time I can remember that I went 'Nah, I don't want any. It'll be too cold and just unpleasant'. I could only bring myself to eat it at lunchtime.

And now I've actually stood in front of the fridge at the supermarket and gone 'Brrrr, no I'm not buying that. It'll be cold'.

Somebody help me. I'm now literally softer than ice cream sitting in the sun on a summer's day 😢
