If you aren't a fan of PB...I get that for sure. If you aren't a fan of PB, then that is definitely not the right ice cream for you. :) I tend to have more of a salty/savoury tooth than a sweet one, so I love that you get that subtle hint of saltiness in the PB magnum. <br /><br />Huge squee about the mint version. That hasn't hopped the pond yet to us. I uber hope that it does! Tony and I also think that Magnum should put out more versions and two that we'd love to see happen are coconut (it would probably taste like a frozen Bounty chocolate bar) and orange (channeling a Jaffa Cake there :)). A mocha one could be awesome, too. What flavours do you think they should make?<br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-20864406908515888562016-08-09T15:24:12.863-07:002016-08-09T15:24:12.863-07:00We do have the peanut butter one, my friend loves ...We do have the peanut butter one, my friend loves it but I am just not a fan of peanuts so I can't go there!

I adore the raspberry one, too. I'd say it's either my favourite or that it ties with the peanut butter variety (do you guys have that one as well?) for top spot. <br /><br />That sounds really nice. It's interesting how similar our weather has been on both sides of the pond this summer. <br /><br />I fully understand. There is such a powerful sensation that hits one after most trips. I experience it just about every time we travel, even after short trips like our little getaway to the Kootenays last April.

Objectively, I'm not certain when it first became available to the public in Canada, but I know that personally, I don't recall spotting it here in British Columbia until the 90s, and even then, I'd say it wasn't until the 2000s that it became considerably more widespread (I would guess though that certain large cities, especially those like Toronto and Montreal, that have always had thriving Italian communities, would have had ice cream shops with it prior to the 90s).<br /><br />You know, I seriously love Neapolitan ice cream to this day (in fact, I served it a couple of weeks ago along side my chocolate birthday cake). Getting three flavours in one is so much fun. :)<br /><br />Thank you very much for your terrific comment, dear Elizabeth.

(I remember Ipana toothpaste as a child, and my parents having toothpaste powder in a tin - in the 50's!). In the 50's and 60's ice-cream in Australia was pretty basic vanilla, strawberry and chocolate (for the best chocolate you had to go to Italian cafes for gelato -packaged, imported. Mum used to get "bricks" of it, either vanilla or "Neopolitan" and then these amazing ice-cream "cakes" came out in the late 60's. Now...sigh, so much to choose from.
