To ask who actually gets the toppings?

[Notsurewhatisnormalanymore]

Light hearted of course but this happens so frequently I am genuinely perplexed!

I love ice cream, as do my kids (one is ND so sticks to the same flavour 😂) but me and my daughter like to try the new and unusual ones. As such, we go to the places where you’re paying far more than you ought to now and again because they tend to have the more ‘seasonal’ or unusual flavours and have a new one each month - hopefully you know what type of place I mean.

My question is, who gets the stuff that’s on the top? You know the bits that make it look attractive and lure you in? Because I eat FAR too much ice cream and I have never, ever been given one of the biscuits, big chucks of chocolate, liquorice allsorts or jammy dodgers that are adorning the ice cream!

I’m more than happy with the ice cream I’ve had, this is not a complaint at all but what are they doing with the toppings? Perhaps you work somewhere like this, do they just remove them? Am I just unlucky that I’ve never had just the right portion at the right time? Seems unlikely considering how often I eat it 🙈

I feel like I need to know - help!

It is probably the people who say 'Cor, can I have a bit of that (biscuit/chocolate/fruit) on the top, please'?
Worth a try. If you don't ask, you don't get 😉

Your shop or one local to you? If it’s your shop post a link please, we travel for good ice cream 😂

Oh OP - I went to this amazing gelato place (gelatoria?) in Spain and you could choose three toppings to be added, it was fabulous, I think you should visit and indulge in toppings to your heart’s content.

Looked back at my holiday pics - it was Rocambolesc in Girona 👌

Cornwall. 😅 Porthleven Harbour 14.5 years ago is the only specific location i can remember. Sorry.

How is asking for some topping on an ice cream “deep”?

Just ask.

They’ll either give you some or they’ll say “oh, that’s just for show.”

You’re the one making it a big deal.

Good night love x

At £4 a scoop the toppings are a lot cheaper than the actual ice cream 😁

i am a cheapskate and just spend a £1 at pound land for a few choc bars if I need a sweet fix

but seriously, half a snickers bar would cost max £0,50 so here’s a new theory: they do not give the bits of topping as they are the cheap bit of the ice cream and people might complain 😅

Not my own personal shop, I'd be the size of a small bus if that were the case 🤣
I don't want out myself by putting the location as it's quite niche.

Fair enough, hopefully we stumble across it at some point x
