National Geographic's Top 10 Places to Eat Ice Cream

This great tip came from my friend at KitchenLore.com

 

National Geographic  showcased their favorite ice cream places from around the world, here's a summary of what I'd like to try:

Capogiro Gelato, Philadelphia    (I was there a few years ago and agree it's good!)

Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, St. Louis (frozen custard in cones, shakes, root-beer floats; house specialties, such as Hawaiian Delight and Crater Copernicus. )

Bombay Ice Creamery, San Francisco (flavors such as chiku (sapodilla), cardamom, chai-tea, saffron, rose, and ginger. Traditional kulfi (a frozen milk dessert) is also on the menu, plus lassi (yogurt drinks).)

 

Devon House, Kingston, Jamaica  (The 27 flavors run a broad gamut from traditional cherry and pistachio to exotic island treats like mango, coconut, and soursop.)

 

Helados Scannapieco, Buenos Aires, Argentina (50 flavors, such as durazno (peach), canela (cinnamon), lemon champagne, and caipirinha (a Brazilian cocktail made with cacha and lime).)

 

Ice Cream City, Tokyo, Japan (more than 300 flavors, from soy chicken and orchid root to sea-island salt and unagi (eel))  

 

Glace, Sydney, Australia (ice-cream desserts such as bombe Alaska, checkerboard terrines, and chocolate-dipped petit fours. Rose petal, vanilla bean, strawberry pistachio, and Belgian chocolate flavors.)

 

Ajia Hotel, Istanbul, Turkey (fried vanilla ice cream, passionfruit sorbet, and traditional Turkish dondurma (ice cream) made from goats milk. )

 

Vaffelbageriet at Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, Denmark (Served in a large waffle cone, called the Amerikaner, which takes up to four scoops plus syrupy topping, whipped cream, and chocolate-covered meringue puff)

 

Percheno!, Florence, Italy (Why not! sells intensely flavored ice cream produced fresh -- honey and sesame seed, green tea, rich coffee crunch with chocolate, fruit sorbets and granitas.)
