Chocolate Orange Ice Cream From Devon at Ocado, Found on Singapore Airlines

Problem
We are all travelling from the past and to the future, but what can we eat to energise and reduce the stress of time-critical travel? When you are completely passive, only two things can be controlled at an airport and on a place, one is the film watched on board and the other is the food!

We hurried to the Singapore Airlines Lounge for a free top up breakfast. It's free. But, heavens - we pay enough on flights. We deserve it.

The lounge was offering a colourful, tempting range of fruit juices. The usual orange colour orange juice, and pale apple, and pink grapefruit. I look for something new and different. I tried the bland but refreshing cucumber. Finally elderflower.

The smoothies were equally delightful. You could choose a red one or a green one. Strawberry and beetroot.

Ice Cream
I tried the Singapore Sling ice cream. The colour was pale pink. It didn't taste of much. But it was Okay. The original alcoholic drink contains cherry brandy, not much fruit in it, I suspect.

However, a good, suitable flavour to choose for Singapore Airlines, the name more exciting than the flavour. An advance taste of a holiday in Singapore.

Finally, on board the Singapore Airlines plane, to finish the meal, orange and chocolate ice cream.  It arrived rock hard. Never mind. That's better than half melted.

Chocolate orange was one of those flavours you lick every morsel and remember it hours, days later. As Shakespeare said, all's well that ends well.

I cannot feel anything except great gratitude to an airline which provides chocolate orange ice cream. First, the joy of the eating. Second, the ongoing improvement to life the airline has introduced me to a new flavour and a new brand.

More importantly, and happily, I made a note of the name of the company which produces the chocolate orange ices. I kept the ice cream carton lid with their name.

If you are down in Devon, go to Salcombe Ices and try their flavours. they have another branch in Dartmouth. You can also order from Ocado, the delivery branch of Waitrose.
