Making the ice cream itself is easier and more enjoyable :yep:

In the heat of summer, nothing soothes quite like an ice cream - unless the price is a sore point, as it was for two British couples visiting the Spanish Steps in Rome. But how much is too much to pay for one of the nation's favourite treats?

A 64 euro (£54, $83) bill for four ice creams seems like a gross act of over-charging.

It better be 100% Ice Cream and not the junk we get, full of air thanks to Thatcher and her gang.
