Brown bread ice cream will be served at English Heritage sites this summer as the Georgian favourite makes a comeback. The new sweet treat is inspired by the 18th Century obsession with 'icy cream’ - which included unusual flavours such as cucumber, pineapple and parmesan.
English Heritage challenged award-winning ice cream manufacturer Marshfield Farm to resurrect a popular Georgian flavour and give visitors a taste of the past. A variety of weird and wonderful Georgian flavours were taste tested, including marmalade and black tea.
It was unanimously agreed that brown bread was the tastiest and it will now be on sale at 13 sites over the summer months. The flavour is said to be reminiscent of biscotti or nougat.
