PrintPhoto of the Day: Ice Cream in Nice
I love the pre-formed balls of ice cream in Andreea's photo from her weekend in Nice. And check out those awesome flavors: tomato basil, rosemary, and black olive, anyone? Read more about Andreea's trip in her blog, Glorious Food and Wine.

Black Olive, Thyme, Pink Peppercorn-Vanilla, Verbena........ The Orange blossom sounds nice.............
But, please tell me "coquelico" isn't scallops.

I think coquelico is a flower (at least, that's what I get when I google it...and there's a flower in the picture)!

Coquelicot (the 't' is hard to see) is poppy. Romarin is rosemary.
At this same stand, I had swiss chard tart ice cream (tourte des blettes), and they also sold lavendar, jasmine, beer, calisson d'Aix (a type of cookie), lychee, rhubarb, guava, yogurt, and at least 10 kinds of chocolate (Ferraro Rocher, Nutella, and so on).

@fleurdesel, were the vegetable and herb flavors delicious? Poppy might also be good! What a dazzling array of flavors. I'd love to be able to try them all.

Reminds of an ice cream shop I used to visit when I lived in Sendai, Japan. My favorite flavor was spinach, but carrot and of course tofu and green tea were just as popular back then.

The only vegetable flavor I had was tourte de blettes, which was very good.
I also tried bergamot -- the citrus fruit that's used to flavor Earl Grey tea.

Bergamot! Where is this mystical shop?!?!?

The shop is Fenocchio, with two locations in Nice, France.
I see from the Web site that they sell honey and pine-nut, maple syrup and pecan, milk jam (dulce de leche), and violet, and panettone.

bergamot? yum.
though i freely admit that as a gelato-worshipping italian, the pre-scooped little balls wig me out.

Mine was freshly scooped. In fact, in my photos, you can see a scooped-out well behind several of the troughs containing prepared scoops.

I would have to go with the vanille poivre rose! Sounds delicieux.
