I would like some bread and olive oil please, but I’ll take it in the form of ice cream.  I went to a old fashioned ice cream parlor the other day, but I went specifically for the very modern take of flavorings.  This sweet spot is called Bruin.  It sits right next to Parque del Oeste, a great place to take a walk in the light of the setting sun as you lick your cone.

I really want to try their cheese flavored ice cream (traditional Spanish idiazabal) but, seeing as it’s February and not ice cream season the selection was more limited. I had to settle for olive oil and blueberry. I am certainly going to return for the Sorbet de Cerveza.  Beer sorbet? I think yes.

The olive oil was very smooth as I expected, flavorful but not overwhelming.  It  went perfectly with the blueberry—the icy acid of one cut the richness of the other. Oh, and the cone was perfect.

I brought my friend Scottie along, he enjoyed the treat as well. But he’s holding out for tomato and tamarind.
