Hartley's is the Giffords of Cumbria. If you don't know Giffords, well I have to say you haven't had real ice cream.
Ben & Jerry's is good, but Giffords is the best I've ever had. Of course it doesn't hurt that it's also located where some of my close family resides and when we visit a trip a day is called for. But that's another topic…
But Hartley's has something I've never had at Gifford's: Gingerbread Ice Cream. This is made with real gingerbread from Cumbria, which is considered by some to be the best in the world. I have to agree that it's the best I've had short of Suzanne's home made gingerbread.
Admittedly, I'm not a great fan of Gingerbread ice cream, being one to traditionally have vanilla, strawberry or something similar. But, I do enjoy it.
Obviously not something I can bring back home, but if I'm ever in Cumbria, it'll be a trip I have to make, over to Egremont to have a scoop or three.
Until next time…
