It’s beautiful weather. Warm sunny days are precious things while autumn turns to summer. I’ve wandered up and down King Street, trying on clothes and perusing Mother’s Day cards, and now the awaited moment has arrived.
Gelato! Possibly for the last time til next summer.
There is a huge crowd outside Gelatomassi: of course, it’s the best place in town. I mean, okay Ice & Slice has more atmosphere. Some like Dolce & Gelato, but honestly the gelato there is far too watery. Gelatomassi may not have seats but they do have flavours!
The Husband looks wary of the crowd. Aww, poor thing. “I’ll go inside and order for both of us, just tell me what you want.”
He’s pleased and I go in alone. Duck and weave between people, try and catch a view of all the labels, pushing further into the store…
Hey, they have fresh fig! I have recently become a fan of fresh fig! I could become a fan of fresh fig gelato!
Get assertive, get in the orders, get the bounty, get out of the store and into the park!
We seat ourselves in the park next to the graveyard, he with his cookies and cream milkshake and me with my cup of gelato.
It’s a pale dusky pink, almost to lavendar at times. Attack!
Cold floods my mouth, a hint of sugar and… ugh! It tastes like fig skin! The bitter planty bit that I generally abandon!
Um, well, maybe it was just that bite.
Nope, this one also has that green stalk aftertaste.
Unlike!
There is a bit of a sweet taste but there is no coconut vanilla figgy goodness. I do not detect the beautiful flavour that resides in the fruit’s inner anemone. Just the skin and some sugar.
So disappointed. Pout. But of course, I will finish it, never let it be said that I let gelato go to waste…
Soon the cold numbs my tongue so all I can sense is the icy temperature. This takes away the skin flavour, but what a mockery of how a gelato experience should be!
So, my first bad buy from Gelatomassi… oh well, at least a bad gelato from there is still creamy and not icy… unlike some!
