[travel] Gelato pairings

[mattbell]

On advice of a fellow Milan hostel-goer, I checked out what may be some of the best gelato in Itally. They had a small but excellent range of flavors, including an extra dark chocolate that actually lived up to Matt standards of extra dark. The best part was that the server suggested a pairing – I had three scoops and had chosen the extra dark chocolate and a lemon flavor. Before I could pick a third flavor, he suggested the ginger, and it worked extremely well as a mix. Chocolate-lemon-ginger happiness for the reasonable price of 3 euros.

If any of you find yourselves in Italy soon, the chain is called Grom. They now have locations in several major cities.

For kick-ass gelato back home, there's always Naia.

Wow, a really good extra dark gelato? I continue to be jealous :-)

Yeah, it was like an 80% dark chocolate bar in gelato format, with tiny unsweetened chocolate chips in it. Seriously awesome.

Also, did this post appear at the top of your friends page, are you using an RSS reader, or did you see it by going to nasu_dengaku.livejournal.com directly? I'm still testing out the future-posting.

It appeared at the top of mine.

I see... I have to select the "date out of order" option for it to do the right thing.

Yup, top of mine too. And the next one you posted just popped up as well.

Off topic: Any idea when you'll be back in the States? You will be back well before I move to Michigan at the end of July, right?

Also, yes, I'll be back before then I should be around for the ABL party.
