How they eat gelato in Sicily

Img_0448

No one in Italy has a sweeter teeth than the Sicilian. To them, sweets is a way of living. The way they eat their gelati is a good example. Any time in day is a good time to scoff a gelato. They even eat gelato for breakfast. They don't sell you in scone or paper cup but in bread: Brioche al gelato, if you will. Pictured here is the occasion when chaxiubao meet gelato in bread. To be honest, though the fragola e panna (strawberry and cream) flavor tasted real good, I was a bit over-stuffed half way through.

Well, the correct name is "Brioche al gelato" ;)

There's an old tradition of eating ice cream with bread in Singapore as well. The bread used is this tri-coloured bread--pink, green and yellow swirls it has.
