Summer Ice Cream American Style
This is the typical SMALL ice cream cone. I stop once in awhile at an ice cream store called: Abbotts. This one was $3.25 USD or about 56 czk.
In Prague, it seemed that a small or single scoop is usually less than 20 korun, and when compared to this photo, a single scoop is a very very small portion. A strong reason why people are much smaller in the Czech Republic.
This is Vanilla Custard and not actually ice cream. The difference: By definition, frozen custard is ‘super premium ice cream’ which contains at least 10% Milkfat(which is a LOT!) and has a larger proportion of egg yolks, thereby giving it a smoother/creamier, more velvety texture than traditional ice cream. It also has a slower production time and incorporates less air into the ice cream.
...and the calories: about 300 in a 5oz serving. I don't know how many oz this one is in the photo, but it's a small. ;-) You should see the Large cones... wow !
