the scoop on serving ice cream

As the summer vacation draws to an end (one more week to go), I dare not think about the amount of delicious sweet ice cream we've consumed this summer!  There's always a pint or two of French vanilla in the freezer.  My recent favourite has been Kulfi - Indian ice cream - (from Cool Moon in Portand) with the wonderful taste and scent of cardamom and pistachios.  And I'm also very partial to Salted Caramel ice cream (my favourite scoop is from Salt & Straw in Portland).

For those that love to scoop at home, here are some lovely ice cream serving and enjoying objects that would make it even more pleasurable.  I like to use the classic glass ice cream parlour style bowls - ones I picked up for almost nothing in a sale years ago.  And one of those porceline ice cream pint holders is now on my shopping list - it would make serving ice cream that little bit more sophisticated to place one (or a few, with difference flavors) on the table at the end of dinner.
