It was my bday last week and I was desperate for a good old fashioned lemon top. Alas, even though they sell those at basically every seaside town on the coast of NE England, we apparently picked the exception.

Got this lemon swirl as a backup and it was pretty good, ngl. It was no lemon top though, I'm still a bit salty a week later.

Thanks, it was a good 'un.

Imagine your typical Mr. Whippy ice cream, usually in a waffle cone because why would you want any other kind of cone. But then a swirl of lemon sorbet on top of the ice cream. As opposed to this swirl thing that is just vanilla and lemon ice creams jumbled together.

When I was little it was a special treat to be allowed a lemon top that was "all lemon" but in hindsight that's probably cheaper for the shop :D

Lemon and vanilla sounds like a great mix.

We were in Bath at the weekend and I went for one scoop of forest fruits and one scoop of peanut ice cream. Both delicious.

In the same cone? What are you a madman?!

In a tub. But it was a bit mad.
