Amazing what comes to my attention. Here’s the latest ice cream accessory: if you suffer frosty fingers from eating ice cream out of the tub, you can order this Cuddle your ice cream cozy (by Gracie Designs) for $8. That is, I suppose, cheaper than gloves.
And to go back, for a moment, to Delizia! and eating food on the fly – here’s a bit of information from Mr. Dickie in case you’re travelling to Italia and wondering about Italian ice cream etiquette:
In Italy, ice cream is the only thing that can be enjoyed legitimately while walking, but even then the cone should be wrapped in a napkin, with another napkin ready to dab the mouth, and the maximum permitted speed is a gentle amble.
It’s a bit unclear whether eating a full tub in an ice cream cozy while ambling gently is in breach. I suppose it is, so take along a thick skin and a few extra napkins.

They had tea cup cosys in marks and spencers before Christmas in a lovely aran knit, the same idea methinks!!! But tres trendy too 😀
Oh how I miss my gelato!!! I must get this book, it sounds like a great read!!
Eat ice cream out of the tub? Never. 😉
The book is highly recommended and quite an eye-opener as regards Italian food.
I love the way it is now scoops instead of comments! Maybe it has been like this for a while but Im slow on the uptake! So when will we be seeing a Murphys Icecream cozy? Sign me up for the first one! My ice cream doesnt last long enough to get cold fingers though! 🙂
