I forgot about Han-Ah Reum. I always get distracted by the produce and canned goods, and seldom make it to the freezer section.

I know of a few likely places to find it by College Park, especially one international grocer where I bought some fish sauces years before you could find it in, say, Giant, and loooong before WF was in our area.<BR/><BR/>If you were in the Baltimore area, however, your best bet would be the Korean supermarket on Rolling Road and Rte. 40, Han-Ah Reum. They <I>might</I> have avocado ice cream. Apart from that, any well-stocked Filipino grocery may have it. The problem is I only know of one Filipino grocery in Baltimore, and it's pretty damn small.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064972052546768332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312492.post-21242126352844028262007-04-09T13:56:00.000-04:002007-04-09T13:56:00.000-04:00I bought a pint of corn ice cream at Whole Foods a...I bought a pint of corn ice cream at Whole Foods a couple of months ago. WF also had flan-flavored ice cream by the same company (Azul Halapa? Talapa?). Turned out to be quite tasty -- not too sweet and very flavorful; it reminded me of the first ear of silver queen corn in the summer. The texture was a little bit mealy, though, maybe from the ground corn? Still looking for avo ice cream, which sounds magnificent.<BR/><BR/>Y'know, on vacation in Hawaii, I tried a shaved ice with some sort of sweet beans at bottom of the bowl. It was different, but quite good.jmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898983085408358201noreply@blogger.com
