During a recent visit to Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain, I had an ice cream sandwich made with one of my favorite treats, stroopwafels. The chocolate ice cream, along with a thin layer of Nutella, was sandwiched between the two cookies. It was absolutely sweet and delicious, with the relatively soft texture of the stroopwafels acting as perfect ...

Earlier this week, John Edge lamented the fact that Bayley's, an Alabama seafood restaurant, is on the verge of closing its doors due to an Alabama crab shortage and yesterday, The New York Times reported that, ''oil from the spill has started to creep into Lake ...

With temperatures consistently reaching the 90s, this summer is proving to be a hot one. And while there are many ways to keep cool, one of my absolute favorites is a scoop or two of homemade ice cream, gelato, or sorbet (also known by its Italian name, sorbetto).

More than 300 cheese lovers defied police orders and took part in the 200-year-old running of the cheese. Participants from as far away as Holland came to chase a seven-pound wheel of Double Gloucester down a steep incline. This year's unofficial winner of the fromage roll, Chris Anderson, won't receive any cheesy reward as it occurred despite ...

Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like. The UK has an ice cream that tastes like the innards of a Cadbury Creme Egg. Well, it looks like the UK now has two foods that sound totally unappealing to me, that ice cream and haggis. (via Foodstuff Finds) The new [...] Related posts:THE WEEK IN REVIEWS – ...
