Even during our trip to the UK, i stayed alert and checked out each and every freezer section and Ben & Jerry's ice cream machine we passed in the airport - hoping that Pistachio might be among its number. Alas, it was not to be.
BUT . . . The Ukrainian frozen food company, The 3 Bears, must have cued in
on my craving as they have just released a new flavor - Pistachio. While the flavor is not as richly intense and zingy as the Ben& Jerry's - the ie cream is incredibly creamy and delicious. Three bears was already a winner for their tasty "royal sherbert" (vanilla ice cream with chocolate flakes and your choice of dried cherry or apricot bits) - but adding pistachio makes them a definite winner for pint ice cream. Rud still wins on individual cones - especially their Empire Series featuring the Tortufo and Apricot yogurt cones.
While there aren't really ice cream parlors here - (and the ones that are here feature Italian style ice cream) the prefabricated cones are delicious (always advertising that they are made with real milk (what other type of milk is there???? they never fail to be extra creamy), accessible (every street corner in the summer) - and affordable (less than a dollar for the Empire cones - but a plain vanilla or Chocolate will only put you out 25 cents) Summer in Ukraine is HOT but yummy.

your post inspired me to go get some ice cream. unfortunately the store didn't have the 3 Bears Pistachio, so I got plain vanilla and lemon Fanta and made floats.

Oh my, reading this I realize how pampered we are. I remember being in Ethiopia and just desperately wanting a fountain diet coke. No where that we traveled had fountain soda. There are so many things we miss when we are away from home! Your sweet girl is ADORABLE!! I hope you're surviving the heat.
