Toronto. There’s something very comforting about a city with great public transport. It allows you to feel very quickly at home – and to immediately begin a quest for things like frozen custard, or cupcakes… I am concerned that this trip is becoming frozen-custard-centric, but more on that in a moment.
I’m sure a city’s quality of living can be judged according to the quantity of pregnant women. Every other woman we saw today was either pregnant or pushing a pram. Cyclists galore. And a tram that runs 24 hours a day (day passes end at 5am!) is a lot of brownie points for any city, especially when combined with a subway. Perhaps we’ve just been un-spoiled and are enjoying being spoiled by public transport again…
So, Saf, this one’s for you. On our walks today, after some great curry Pad Thai and a cupcake, we had… A frozen custard affogato. We did do a little bit of research before setting out, to discover ‘Jedd’s', where the espresso is as good as the frozen custard. Even Martina loved it (of course, you say, it had espresso in it!) One for the menu at Degani??
Affogato, frozen custard style…
A little bit of randomness:
Toronto has the largest Greek community in North America – which makes it even more like Melbourne. We went to Greek town for a gyro at a place called ‘Messini’… not far from Militsa, but the gyro was quite far. Too big, too slow (a good gyro should be in front of you in 60 seconds, and you can eat at least 2), and 95% of the staff were Pakistani.
