There are those who love ice cream. And there are those who LOVE ice cream. I belong to the latter camp. The current hot weather is a licence to ’stop and buy one’ whilst on a walk – it’s a good job the walks are counteracting the calories…
Today we visited some friends in Leeds, and went to their kids’ primary school summer fair. During which we stumbled across what may have been the nicest ice cream I’ve had so far this summer.
A company called Indie Ices had a little pitch at which they were selling special World Cup flavoured kulfis, ice creams and sorbets. They’ve created new flavours for some of the countries playing. (Although not all countries – when asked what flavours they’d created for today’s match contestants South Korea and Ghana, they admitted to leaving these off the list. Not sure what flavours you’d do for them though!).
Aside from the obvious Cookies & Cream for the USA, and Chocolate Kulfi for Switzerland, there were other more intriguing creations. These included Wine Sorbet (Chile, I think), Fig & Date Kulfi (can’t remember the country) and Irish Cream Kulfi (for France, according to their blog “to rectify the injustice FIFA did not correct” – good lads!).
I picked one of the two England flavours on offer – Rose & Berry Kulfi. I believe my first words on tasting were “Wow” followed by “That’s incredible” – or words to that effect mumbled through mouthfuls of creamy loveliness. The ingredients were milk, double cream, sugar (diet followers can stop reading now), fresh whole raspberries and redcurrants, and rose water. Every mouthful had a delicate, slightly sweet hint of rose petals, and every now and then a sharp hit from the berries. Absolutely spot on.
It’s a good job they were only selling small tubs. I could have eaten so much more. Indie Ices – come over to Manchester, please!
Thanks GastroGrrl

indie ices ready and waiting to go live on BBC Breakfast (see blog - crash)
indie ices are 1st past the post with their ice cream party poll
ICE CREAM PARTY POLL PREDICTS A HUNG PARLIMENT
The five varieties and the votes they gained were:
Conservative Party,
Blue Stilton & Pineapple Kulfi ice cream 35%
Liberal Democrat Party,
Mango Kulfi ice cream 34%
Labour Party,
Red Rose & Berry fruit ice 22%
Green Party,
Almond and Pistachio Kulfi ice cream 8%
Monster Raving Loony Party,
Rhubarb and Fruitcake Kulfi ice cream 1%
Owner, Mike Tattersall says “the outcome was not conclusive until the final time I went out on the battle trike and sold to a predominantly student area of Leeds . In fact the leader of the poll changed each week. I am so confident this result will match the real election result that I have decided to launch a Lib Dem / Conservative flavour, Kulfi ice cream. It will be called Totally Topical Tropical and will have a mix of Pineapple from the Conservative flavour along with Mango from the Liberal democrat flavour. I only plan to give it a short shelf life of 2 months before it melts away and another flavour will need to be developed.

Indie ices has a survey for you
is Politics Just a Matter of Taste?
Well, you can now vote with your stomach in Indie Ices special ice cream Party poll- after all, good parties need ice cream!
An award winning ice cream Company from Roundhay, is trying to predict the election result by allowing the electorate to vote with their stomach, by the sale of colour co-ordinated party political ice cream flavours.
Indie Ices will produce a special ice cream party poll each week on the back of: sales of 5 varieties of ice cream specially produced for the election, votes cast on its website and votes cast in its facebook poll.
The five varieties on offer from the date the election is called until Election Day are:
Conservative Party, Blue Stilton & Pineapple Kulfi ice cream
Green Party, Almond and Pistachio Kulfi ice cream
Labour Party, Red Rose & Berry fruit ice
Liberal Democrat Party, Mango Kulfi ice cream
Monster Raving Loony Party, Rhubarb and Fruitcake Kulfi ice cream
They have not forgotten the floating voters either, as they plan to have a plain vanilla flavour kulfi scooped into a glass of pop!
On hearing about the campaign, Lord David Steel said : "What a splendid idea! My favourite is Mango kulfi, and that is not a political choice. So I hope many customers share my taste"
If you would like to taste the political flavour before you buy you can visit his battle bike at The Oakwood Farmer's Market on Saturday 17th April or visit the website to see where else the battle bike will be parked for you to buy, try and vote.
Indie Ices also plan to give weekly news updates on progress of the campaign and be the first to declare their full results on the night of the election, Mike says" Being on our trike we are confident we will be 1st past the post"
Indie Ices has been handed its 2nd Award in 7 months since it started trading in April 2009. This time it was regional. Yes, on Friday 25th September Mike Tattersall was handed the Yorkshire Post Readers Award beating off 11 other Yorkshire Food Firms / Farmers who where also offering samples of their product at a day long tasting event at the York Festival of Food. For Mike this was the award that mattered most of the seven issued on the night, as to win it you had to receive the total highest score given out by the great Yorkshire folk who tasted product at the York Festival of Food. The competitors where tough, 6 of the 11 were nominated as finalists (already highly commended) in the other award categories. Read more on the blog.
