More on the topic of Ice Cream Sandwiches

I don't think it's possible to consume too many Monaco Bars. As mentioned in a previous post, they are both yummy and delicious. But don't let your devotion to the Monaco Bar blind you to the charms of other ice cream sandwiches. I am not talking about the hugely disappointing Maxibon, which is stupidly named and stupidly constructed. Nay, I speak of an ice cream sandwich that is totally worth tracking down - Pat and Stick's. So fucken good. So far I have only discovered them in two locations, the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington and The Carlton Deli in Glebe, but there is a list of stockists on the website and apparently they turn up at farmer's markets too.

The Pat and Stick's ice cream sandwich comes in a selection of yummo flavours: Vanilla Lace, Vanilla Choc (Monaco Baresque), Caramel Pecan, Choclate Lace, Double Chocolate, Espresso Lace, Mochaccino and Strawberry Choc Chip.

Need any more encouragement to try a Pat and Stick's ice cream sandwich? Well, I don't know what to tell ya.

The Monaco Bar is Baaaa-ack!

Looks like all our hard work has paid off. Some time ago I forwarded an online petition around to all my nearest and dearest to encourage "them" to bring the Monaco Bar back. Well, last night MBH and were at home watching a dvd on the sofa when we decided it would be a great idea to visit the corner shop for an icecream or some other delicious treat. I was just about to go with ole faithful (the Magnum Ego) when MBH casually mentioned that the freezer cabinet also contained ..... Monaco Bars!!

Luckily I bought two for myself because when we got back home we both stood at the front door, each assuming that the other one had brought the house key. Locked out! So we wound up at the pub waiting for one of our flatties to get home. Still, it was totally worth it. 

Oh, how I had grieved them all these years! Monaco Bars were my out and out favourite ice cream when I was a child/adolescent and now I get to enjoy them all over again. 

In summary, Monaco Bars. Yum.
