I'm sorry, only in Spanish. But then, you don´t have to know Spanish to read these places' addresses! Just go!

Have a great time in our town. You can diet when you are back home. LOL!!!

What I mean is that "we are likely to be regulars there."

Wow, thanks, AV & Scarlett - perhaps I should only eat gelato during my stay in BA???

Dylan rocks my socks!! It's got to places one in San Telmo and one a block away from home.

Conclusion: I'm getting fat and loving it!

If you've got a sweet tooth try Dulce de Leche Dylan. Yumm!
Gotta go, gone eat a cucurucho!

i am guilty of not having read the previous postings in detail however I wish to say that personally I think that simple ice cream bars covered with chocolate sold in any super market or in many kiosks are good. The cost is a fraction of Ice cream parlors which if you come to think
they are not cheap, as in any place in the world.

Scarlett Feb 24th, 2011 10:11 AM

Graziella, I might agree with you but people like my husband, the helado afficianado, would argue that point ... store bought ice cream made with ingredients that keep it fresh etc and that sit in stores for days /weeks, can't compete with fresh ingredients in fresh helado/gelato that you can buy fresh each day. We eat Cerises, great fat fresh cherries in the ice cream, Banana Volta, with chunks of dark chocolate ..

As long as it is chocolate, I am good. :)

I'm with Scarlett's husband. No way can one compare freshly made gelato or ice cream, with prepackaged stuff. It's akin to saying vegetables frozen and sold in the stores r as good as fresh veggies bought at a farm or farmers market...no comparison.

Graziella5b Feb 26th, 2011 04:25 PM

Of course I agree Scarlet, btw I am taking notice of your choices, I guess it is very important
to choose well among tons of options,nevertheless I like the chocolate covered
bars...maybe it is a childhood preference that connects with good souvernirs..

Scarlett Feb 27th, 2011 10:35 AM

Graziella, I love those little Bon Bons they sell in the markets, ice cream dipped in chocolate like the bars .. I forgot about those .. you might like them .. I make myself think that since they are smaller, I can eat more :D
