Szeged Ice Cream Going Fast!

The ice cream season, which is coming to an end, is such an important one for us here in Szeged - we love the fresh, interesting, quality flavors that come in small scoops (about 75 cents a scoop). Interesting flavors include coconut, caramel, rum-walnut, punch (fruity with a little rum and raisins), rice (vanilla with rice bits) and Raffaello (coconut, vanilla, and chocolate). The girls often like standard fruit flavors like strawberry, lemon, or peach.



BUT Hungarians don't eat ice cream when winter season comes - it's bad for their throats! Yes, it's true that cold ice cream and cold drinks are avoided by most starting in November because it is considered a linkage to sore throats in the cold season. So, ice cream is becoming scarce in the coffee/pastry shops now, and by Christmas you will only be able to find ice cream in the German supermarket frozen section! Thankfully we had a couple terrific warm weeks beginning of November and got in some last ice cream visits!
