Flake

Those of you who know me know that I am a big fan of ice cream. Thankfully, so are the British. Ice cream trucks can be found at many local parks, playgrounds, festivals, and fairs. The great thing about these ice cream trucks is that they sell locally-made ice cream. Oh yeah!!! Most have "ice lollies" (popsicles) too, but the majority of people buy ice cream.

I have yet to find a place in England that has the variety of flavors that you can find in any ice cream shop in the US, but that's okay. They have the standard vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, and sometimes even bring out a toffee or mint chocolate chip.
Just as the flavors are limited, the toppings are limited too. There are no options for sprinkles, whipped cream, M&Ms, or crushed Oreo. The only thing that you can get as an ice cream accessory is Flake. Yes, Flake. "What is Flake?" you ask. Well, Flake is a small chocolate bar made by Cadbury that looks likes compressed flaked chocolate. It's yummy. Nothing to write home to mom about... or blog about.... wait.

Well, I guess I just thought some people might find it interesting.

Flake. The title of my autobiography?

Any way you can send me some flake to a flake?

Just knew we could trust Zoanna for the "flake" comment! LOL.

That compressed chocolate thingy looks good to me! Not too sweet. All I need to be happy is some vanilla and chocolate ice cream and some pretzels!
