Mango ice-cream

Growing up, visiting my mom's parents, my grandparents, was a regular weekend activity. This partly explains why I'm perhaps more closer to my mom's side of the family.

We frequently visited an ice-cream store in the market next to my grandparent's house. Initially, it was a Kwality Walls store but at some point, if I remember correctly, the owner shut down the store down and moved abroad. I remember I ate my first Cornetto at that store. The next store that we then started visiting was an Arun ice-cream store. The Mango/Raspberry duets and the Casatta ice-creams were the regular favorites. I miss Casatta sometimes since it combines cake with ice-cream and nuts, the result can be truly delicious if done right.

The Arun ice-cream storeowner was perhaps not the greatest person I've encountered in life. For some reason, I remember him telling that his son has the same name as me. Arun ice-cream has been acquired by a different company now. It might be interesting to read up on how Arun ice-cream started, it's not the most creative name for an ice-cream store, it's a bit like Ben and Jerry's.
