When: Saturday, 2 p.m.
Here's some information I found on another LJ blog (comparing it to Fosselman's near my house)...
I found the texture I was looking for at Han's, another little old place dishing up homemade ice cream. The range of flavors here was more traditional, with the notable exception of the liquorice ice cream, in a shade of dark dove gray. I was going to get a scoop of mint chocolate chip, to better calibrate Han's ice cream against the Fosselman ice cream, but was deterred by the peanut butter fudge yoghurt. I can't say no to anything peanut butter, so the mint chocolate chip will have to wait for another day. And there will indeed be another day, because the peanut butter fudge was superb. The yoghurt, with wide, coarsely blended streaks of peanut butter and fudge flavors studded with big, irregular chunks of chocolate, was exceptional. The fudge flavor seemed to predominate, but the rich peanut butter flavor was very much present and accounted for, underlined with the subtle tang of yoghurt. And the texture was dense and heavy, perfect for lingering over. If Han can manage this with yoghurt, I shudder to imagine what he can do with ice cream. Near the front door is a fridge stocked with homemade ice cream sandwiches, ice cream bars, and frozen dipped bananas of Ron Jeremy proportions, beckoning for repeat visits.
