I’ve never heard of monkeys blood referring to anything other than the stuff in monkeys’ veins! For me, sauce that goes on an ice cream is… ice cream sauce. SE England.

SE and never heard it called Monkey Blood (which would put me off eating it anyway because it sounds gross) its just strawberry or raspberry sauce

I have also called it monkeys blood.

Minchella's kiosk at Whitburn is the best Minchella's WinkWink

i grew up just outside of South Shields. When I was younger I remember asking for monkeys blood at minchella’s.

oooh I can taste their ice cream right now!

Minchellas are the best.

My OH from the North East insists it's Monkeys Blood

Of course it's red sauce 😁

It's called juice here in my part of Yorkshire. I am from the south east and it was always strawberry sauce.
