A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

After dinner at Deep Ellum we decided to head next door to get some ice cream from Fomu.

I had heard about it from a write up in the Globe. As you can tell, I’m not a vegan, but I was tempted anyway.

A cute little shop with limited seating in the front and back, this place also serves George Howell Coffee. Small world, I went to high school with his daughter.

I’m not a big soy ice cream eater either, but strawberry is always the best flavor (in my opinion) when you have soy….somehow I thought that would be the same for vegan ice cream. I later remembered that the ice cream is made from coconut milk…and I probably should have gone with chocolate or coconut….however…as you can see,  I went with strawberry. And what do you know? It tasted like coconut. The experience can be likened to biting into an orange and tasting a banana. A little weird to say the least, but the ice cream was indeed creamy and delicious despite not tasting a think like strawberry. And those chocolate jimmy’s on top, they are the real thing…

Happy I went to try it out, but pretty sure this girl will be sticking with the real deal from now on.
