Billions and billions served!
On a beautiful, warm Sunday afternoon we took off for the northwest corner of the state and visited the small, quaint town of North Canaan. North Canaan has been in the news a lot lately as it is one of the few places in Connecticut that has had any significant snow fall this winter. One would think with all that snow, there might be ice cream…but not really. The only option for ice cream in North Canaan is a place known for those addictive French fries, McDonalds.
I admit it. I have had a McDonalds burger in most of the countries I have visited over the years but I have largely limited my ice cream selection to chocolate milk shakes, and today was no different. McDonald’s sells a soft serve ice cream product and contrary to popular folklore there is no “plastic” used in their ice cream products.
The chocolate shake I had was consistent with all the other McDonald’s shakes I have had over the past 50 years…thick, thick, thick with a slightly granular texture and rich chocolate flavor.
If you are looking for a quick ice cream fix don’t hesitate to have a shake or soft serve cone from Ron’s Steak House, MickyD’s, or the Golden Arches! Just remember billions and billions served, which is how I am beginning to feel on this quest!
