Yes, it's true! We have stout gelato made with Guinness stout. Stop by and try some, or give us a call and we will bring some out to you if you like. This is not a gratuitously strange gelato; the guinness and walnut go together in an egg-based gelato (crema for you italian speakers...) to make a delicious and properly sweet gelato. A perfect dessert for St. Patrick's Day meal plans. We can be reached at 423.7751 or 807.5071.In a quick non-food note: My wife, Kristin, and our children are still in Italy, where my daughter goes to school. From time to time Kristin helps the English teacher at the local school with guest lessons on American Holidays. Next week, she was scheduled to talk to the class about St. Patrick's day. Unfortunately, the teacher could not grasp, despite Kristin's best efforts, that 1. St. Patrick's is an Irish-themed holiday, but really everyone celebrates it, 2. Although important in Ireland, it finds its biggest expression in America, and finally 3. That it is all-day festival, often involving lots of drinking, not a religious Saints Day involving special masses and observations. Oh well maybe next year...
