Ice Cream @ Darley's

Darley's Ice Cream, doesn't it sound too wierd to see a name like Darley's being put up for an Ice Cream Parlour. It sounds as if I am calling my dog to stop being a jerk on the middle of the road and get back into the backyard and do the playing or his stupid antics.

If I was in a situation like this and I were to write a brief summary of the whole incident, I would jot down "Darley", I Scream at the top of my voice, "get back into the backyard and play stupid there"

Jokes apart and getting back to the usual habit of quoting the quotes, I find one quote very apt to this situation "Everything that glitters is not Gold", how true. A very original quote by Chaucer and mind you it wasn't Shakesphere (He isin't any brother or distant relation of Britney Spears, how true to their name and nature they are, quite opposite), who quoted this. The original Latin proverb Non omne quod nitet aurum est - Everything that glitters is not Gold was used by Chaucer (c. 1374-87). Shakey used this quote and that closes the opportunity for any kind of discussion here, and that's it. Instead of inviting controversies and initiating discussions, I would love to drop down straigt away into the topic.

After the sumptuous Haleem served brimming (to put it straight forward in Hyderabadi Hindi "Haath Choor Ke Daala") in a peforated theramic bowl, we landed at Darley's for some ice creams. Expecting the least that the ice cream would turn out to be frozen crstals of water dipped in juices and ground in a blender so as to resemble a scoop of fresh ice cream. It was Fresh, it was all icy and it had cream in it. Lo Behold! I've my own recipie of an ice cream now.

We had pre-planned the order and wanted to eat that and to our utter dismay, Darley's had everything on the menu card, but were pushing the customers to have their specials that day. So we thought "Why not we take a chance and try it out. We've been experimenting with food for whole of our life, so why not again today"

With these annotations, we asked the Icy Cool Guy serving Ice Cream as to what are the 4 best ice creams there and even before we could complete the question, that guy was all blushing and all happy as if we have given him the best opportunity of life. It looks like, people there never allow these guys to speak. The guy was all so confident and explained us what each one of these ice creams have and what's the best one to opt for.

Me being a Black Currant aficionado, I asked him get me something that has loads of Black Currant and he asked me to opt for "California something" and others ordered for their own stuff like Blue Passion, Darleys Love and etc.

Those platters arrived even before we could say "Wow!". Checkout for yourselves the beauty of the ice creams.

All the Ice Creams, before being served and vanquished

Darley's Love - Served to MHer Raz

California Something - Served to Me

Blue Passion - Served to MHer Imz

Do not have those guts to post the ice cream savoured by MHer Mushy

Now this takes the piece of the cake or the final topping for the whole thing, even before we could finish 35.64% of the served Ice Creams, we were bowled out. We were discussing so as to avoid eating the ice cream, we had a chat about many stupid issues and topics which actually made no sense in the real world. We had to spend some time there as we had to pay money for Nuts (and that was what we all had that day at Darley's)

If you remember, in the begining of the post I mentioned that i've come up with a special recipe of Ice Cream. I would like to name my Ice Cream as "Black Love Californificated on the Platter". Now, its high time that I share the recipe with all you Ice Cream Lovers.

What is "Black Love Californificated on the Platter"?
A good concoction of all the left over ice creams,
when mixed together and topped with Black Currant Juice.

Its fun being creative, rather than sulking on the money wasted
