>Chili chocolate ice cream
Yep, in Italy you can find it. Ok, the ONLY one I like is the one at Stefino, in Bologna.
If not, I'll go for dark chocolate.
Still, chili dark chocolate is better.
(the weird thing is that you don't feel it hot until the sweet taste is not over; I thought it was the sugar, but then I understod it was the cocoa, since it's fatty like the active ingredient of chili)

Why avoid?
By the way, also ginger icecream is not that bad.

*oh, sorry and hello and welcome as well...although you have been here for ages already*
Thanks, but, well, I did not start reading the threads until less than 2 years ago, and
a) I am usually too lazy to post (I prefer emailing, in a way)
b) I never had a decent connection all this time.
Anyway.
Thank for the well– uhm, not welcome since I was already here, what's that, a "welstayed"?

Ok, I won't use text language.
Promise.
Ehr– I mean– could you explain me exactly WHAT IS text language, so that I can avoid using it?
And, since I have been here like 2 years posting 6 times, I guess I am strong enough to avoid being a post whore.
Thanks!
