The Most Memorable Tasty Dessert - Violet Ice Cream

It did not look anything special, but the taste was divine.

Violet Ice Cream, restaurant of the Campanile hotel on the outskirts of Montpellier, France

We ordered one of each of two desserts/ Violet ice cream was a novelty for us. It looked like vanilla ice cream, nothing special about the colour or shape.. However, as the old British saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. (Proof, test in this context. Proof of its worth.)  Wonderful, in fact so delightful that we looked it up, to find out the ingredients, where it came from try to buy it, failing that, make it ourselves. Apparently it is a speciality of Toulouse. Toulouse has to be next on our wish list for places to visit.

Campanile Ouest Croix D'Argent, Montpellier

Crox d'argent, cross of silver, is not the hotel's marketing, as I first thought, but the district, the place name.
