New York City seizes 46 ice cream trucks

I had delicious cucumber ice cream once. Some things are interesting if served in another form.

Other things, like parking tickets - not so much.

This is good. It’s unfortunate though that NYC can’t cash in on the tens of millions of dollars in traffic fines owed by foreign diplomats there.

Savory ice cream, yum. Cucumber sounds wonderful, how about cucumber sorbet? Mm yum.

As to the parking tickets, although I can’t imagine practical parking tickets made out of ice cream, I can imagine parking tickets made out of some other foodstuff, say hard candy, which can be manufactured at home in a convenient ready-to-inkjet format.

Full disclosure, I am standing on the shoulders of giants here — namely Walt Kelly, Pogo, and Edible Money:

Or maybe a pro-vaxxer imagining an anti-vaxx neighbourhood?

Of course, Julian Assange is facing 5 years of parking fines for that car he left outside the Ecuadorian Embassy; plus the congestion charges on top of that.

The punch line really has an aftertaste. I think I need a drink now. On the rocks.

ETA: any Cuban estate rum, some key lime, and mint? I need a heming way out of here. I’ve got a crush on that ice, already.

Salt and straw has a lot of weird flavors. Black olive and goat cheese is actually good. No liver and wood as far as I can see though. https://saltandstraw.com/flavor/sweet-corn-waffle-cones/

First they came for the ice cream trucks, and I did not speak out, because I did not eat ice cream.

Then they came for the water ice trucks, and there was no one left to speak for me.

Don’t try and seize this one, you’ll get some pushback.

Ya’ll are laughing about alternatives to the ice cream truck, but here inTijuana we have cars driving around with old megaphone speakers attached to the roof peddling a few kinds of Mexican staples like tortillas, peanuts, and tamales. And once in a while, there is an ice cream truck.
