Dondurma in Canberra?

It’s a useful shop, innit? Quite a treasure-trove of odds adn ends. Interesting pizzas too, cryovacced and actually rather good.

Thanks for the pointer on Fruitacious EvanJames. Paid a visit and found they stock my favourite favourite chocolate bars – Dolfin. I’m not a chocolate lover, but I love this stuff.

Fruitacious is (I think) the F and V Deli outside Coles in Manuka. Amazing range of foreign foods, including a lot of Mexican stuff.

You might want to check this out – http://www.booza.com.au. It’s listed as being sold at Frutacious in Manuka,although not sure where that is in Manuka exactly. Looks like the sort of thing you are talking about although not in the traditional sense of a serve of ice-cream. I recall seeing this article in one of the many food magazines I have lying around so looked it up – hope it is of help.

I sure hope that people are aware that the typical Australian desert, the humble jelly, is made from gelatin, which is sourced from animal skin and bone (by boiling or steaming you can easily get the jelly/gelatin out of them).

So? The very epitome of the waste-not-want-not. Surely this is only relevant if you are a vegan. My shoes are also made from animal skin.

I was wondering if they used Mastic, sounds like they do. It’s used in Greek food too, George Columbaris promotes it and a dessert I had at his restaurant had it. Sort-of denser effect than gelatine.

Gelatin is an animal by product, but not from horses hooves. I think that’s keratin like our nails.

I believe the gelatin-like substance is in fact gelatin which is derived from animal tissue (horses hooves). Enjoy.

Check the link!

It seems to have no actual gelatin in it, the thickening agent is made from flowers, at least in the traditional method. More peony than pony!

Sounds great.
