Halva stracciatella from Gelupo

Gelupo frequently comes up on lists of the best ice cream in London, and based on this one flavour — yeah, that makes sense.  Though it’s hard not to compare all future gelato to the mind-blowing stuff I recently had in Italy, for gelato outside of that country’s borders, this is top-notch stuff.  It’s rich and creamy, and the addition of halva to the classic chocolate and sweet cream stracciatella combo is actually fairly ingenious.  It works really, really well.

Thanksgiving was last week, and thankfully there’s one Canadian pub in town that saved me from going sad and turkeyless (and considering that it’s called the Maple Leaf and it’s absolutely festooned with Canadian flags, there’s no mistaking it for anything but a Canadian pub).
