Food 26 -- Ice cream cake

A couple of days ago, I had an ice cream after lunch. Here at La Selva, we are super lucky that they sell a nice selection of ice cream treats in the gift shop! This is probably one of the few field stations in the world where researchers can buy ice cream after coming back from a hard day in the field.


One of my favorite ice cream treats to get is the vanilla ice cream cake. It is supposed to resemble a rolled vanilla sponge cake filled with vanilla ice cream. Although the cake doesn’t closely resemble the picture on the box, it is really good and very full of vanilla flavor. One food that Costa Rica can really do well is ice cream. Treats from Dos Pinos (a big dairy company here) are pretty cheap and really tasty!
