Love Gelato

Pistachio and peach & pistachio and blood orange (small, $5 each)

The first time I had gelato was eight years ago in Italy. We were there in the summer and it was around 40°C everyday, so we had gelato about 1-3 times a day (no exaggeration). So when I came back to Canada, I was disappointed every time I tried it again, because it just couldn’t compare.

I actually went into Love Gelato a couple of times after eating lunch on Main Street Markham, but was too full (and deterred from past gelato experiences) to try it. Finally, we bit the bullet and my friend convinced me the pistachio gelato alone was worth the trip.

Spotlight: Laura Secord SuperKid

Now that the weather is heating up, the thought of ice cream might be on the table again. Here is my all-time favourite flavour, both for its nostalgic memories and national pride, Laura Secord’s SuperKid.

Ever since I can remember, I used to beg my mom for a cone every time we passed the Laura Secord at our local mall (sadly, a revamp of the mall has pushed it out, which makes the accessibility another factor in obtaining this ice cream). I mean, what kid could resist? Bright, almost neon colours and a fruity flavour, it was a perfect mix of creaminess without the heaviness of conventional flavours such as chocolate.
