Speaking of popsicles, L. and I have been eating our way through the ice cream freezer at our friendly neighbourhood Japanese grocery store. So far, we've had:
- Chocolate bars
- Milk tea bars
- Mikan (tangerine) bars with real fruit pulp
- Peach soda bars
- Calpis bars
Yesterday, we got some shaved ice bars which surprisingly lived up to the picture on the box. Within the lemon flavoured ice layer was a creamy vanilla center and... crunchy shaved ice. I initially thought we had bought a batch with freezer burn before realizing that the Japanese manufacturer actually delivered on their promise to give us shaved ice in a bar. That is cutting edge popsicle technology there, my friends!
