 today's specials


crosswalk sign


HB confirmed the news of the discontinuation by saying that Irish tastes have moved on from the simple chocolate-coated vanilla ice-cream.  First releasing in the 60's, the Choc Ice became the backbone of all Irish ice creams - the bedrock upon which this country's frozen dairy products have been built upon. But it is now, unfortunately, time to say goodbye.

  1. Same here and what I also notice is that those packaged ice creams are also smaller than they used to be.

  2. Strange. I always thought that is and stays the basic.
    Glad I don´t like sweets much anyways...

  3. Hello,
    It is sad the ice cream will be gone. I like the menu sign. Take care, enjoy your day!

  4. Some really good specials. Oh, it seems nobody likes dairy anymore when it comes to ice cream...so we've been having to make our own from Heavy Cream. Awesome post!

  5. Yo compro el típico bombón de vainilla y chocolate almendrado. Tiene un buen tamaño y es el que nos gusta a todos en casa.

    Un abrazo

  21. We are in rhubarb crumble season too. Love it!

  22. Like the walkway and menu signs. I don't like when they discontinue things that you love. The older I get the more I dislike things I've loved for years. Now I only eat a few things that I really like.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think I'll take the chicken
    Interesting to see the transition sign

    ReplyDelete
  24. What hardy meals at the pub!
    Interesting to see a common everyday thing like a street crossing device that is different to what we are used to seeing if that makes any sense.... Sad to lose an old friend of a treat 😔

    ReplyDelete
  25. I wonder who the people are that would be so eager to discontinue a long-time favorite dessert? Hope what replaces it can live up to it's legacy, Bill.

  26. I like the cross walk sign. Have not seen one like it before.
    Love rhubarb!! Oh no, no ice cream!? I'll be having some in a little while!

  27. They keep on playing with the walk signs . I guess pople don't get it so they try making a better sign.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The pedestrian crossing sign is unique. Sorry to see the Choc Ice go.

    ReplyDelete
