Sorveteria Sabor e Sonho

Did you know that in Brazil, the ice cream places are self-serve?

You usually encounter the first drama when you choose the type of ‘bowl’ you’re going to have your ice cream in, things don’t get any easier from there.

I never realised that choosing an ice cream flavour could involve such uncomprimising uncertainty…low and behold ‘Sorveteria Sabor e Sonho’…(translation: ‘flavour and dreams’). In fact there are so many flavours, and so many things to choose that the Brazilians have turned the simple pleasure of having an ice cream into what can be a complicated and confusing assignment. You have to be careful not to pay too much attention to what you’re doing otherwise you’ll find yourself in a stressed state of emotional turmoil torn between the 'Ferrero Rocher with nuts' and 'Ferrero Rocher without nuts’ flavours. Brazilians of course are accustomed to these kind of shops so for them it’s easy.







Once you’ve recovered from the initial drama of icecream flavours you arrive in the ‘condiments’ area…I’ll say no more, just look at the photos.
In the end, all I could do was try my best. The result was a marvellous creation of, well…chocolate.
