"Purple potato ice cream, anyone?" I admit it didn't sound the most tempting of questions a mum could ask two young children as we rocked up at Cheshire's latest countryside ice cream parlour.
The Mobberley Ice Cream Company has been making a name for itself in recent years for its range of unusual flavours and artisan blend, and has now opened its own parlour with indoor and outdoor seating in the pretty rural village. And I was keen to see if my kids would be bold enough to try something a little more adventurous than your boring old raspberry ripple.
"Yuck," said the 7-year-old at the purple potato suggestion. "Ice cream, ice cream" said the 3-year-old - which was enough of an affirmative for me to buy him a pot of the stuff and see what he'd think.
