no, not ice cream but rather, Coney Island's Eskimo Roll!! AAHHHHH!!! love.
When I was little, I readily ignored the lure of those colorful scoop ice cream displays at the Coney Island across Fooda. I'd go strsight for my Eskimo Roll. No fluffy pink or blue concoction was going to make up for the plain vanilla ice cream sandwiched between 2 huge chocolate chip cookies with a healthy sprinkling of nuts and heaenly goodness. sooooo orgasmic :p
Sadly, that Coney Island closed down and I lost contact with my Eskimo Roll- UNTIL one day, we were reunited at the shop outside school that sold a smattering of coney island products. I didn't care that it was a whopping 20 pesos then, I made sure to scrimp so I would have my eskimo roll after a grueling day of school.
The reunion was short-lived though. I lost my Eskimo roll again. For good this time- when the coney island ice cream company permanently closed. SOB.
I missed it so much today that I attempted to make my own. I changed it a little, double choc chips for cookies and double dutch ice cream inside. Its currently downstairs freezing. I might or might not take a picture to show you.
I do know one thing though even before I've had a taste. It won't compare to the eskimo roll that I once knew and oh so loved...
Hmmm, next time, i might attempt to recreate the original, with the plain chocolate chip cookies and the plain vanilla...SOB SOB SOB
btw, excuse the rather emotional tribute to something as mundane as ice cream. i'm strange (and hormonal) like that.
a valiant effort, but still not good enough...
