Take me back…
On our way home from Stafford we drove west and past through the beautiful north central town of Suffield. On the west banks of the Connecticut River, Suffield is in interesting mix of farm land, dotted with old tobacco barns, and nice residential neighborhoods. Just off Main Street in an unassuming strip mall is Wilma’s Scoops Du Jour.
Nestled behind the private school Suffield Academy, Scoops has a take out window and inside ordering. They sell Hershey’s hard ice cream and soft serve products. They sell cones, shakes, floats and have all the fixings. Their prices are very reasonable and portions are very generous. Their flavor options are interesting and not at all standard, although they do sell chocolate and vanilla.
I had raspberry swirl on a sugar cone and Mighty Mo had….wait for it…chocolate soft serve with chocolate sprinkles on a wafer cone. Both were creamy and delicious and a welcome diversion on our drive.
Suffield was a rival of our high school sports teams and a town I have a lot of fond memories from. I only wish Scoops was around then…we may have snuck out of a track meet for a treat.
Bon Appétit!
