A HOTEL in Scotland is preparing to celebrate National Ice Cream day by creating an unusual flavour of the frozen desert.
Apex Hotels has teamed up with farmhouse dairy Glen Urr to bring to its customers a slab of lorne sausage ice cream served on a brioche bun with a drizzle of sauce.
The reinvented breakfast favourite will be served up at Apex Grassmarket in Edinburgh for one day only – National Ice Cream Day on July 15.
Chef Vladimirs Kruus said: “I have to say I’ve never worked with such an unusual ice cream.
“We decided to serve it on a brioche buns as the bread is slightly sweet, and this will be toasted and dusted with icing sugar.
“We have also whipped up a toffee drizzle that’s similar in colour to brown sauce, so it really is a sweet equivalent of a classic roll and square sausage.
“There’s no mistaking the distinctive taste of lorne sausage so this is definitely one for the adventurous.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
