We've been in Costa Rica for 3 weeks which meant it was very hard to blog (I didn't take my mini keyboard) but I ate a lot of odd and fantastic things - and many of them were very vividly coloured!
A lot of the food colours are banned by the EU because they send some kids a bit wild - so when a European visits the Americas they see some new sights.
Here we have the Black & Purple ice-cream - and the flavours were listed as Cahuita Special (black) and Exotic (Purple) which doesn't explain much.
They were both sorbets - so dairy free - so I figured it was worth the risk.
And they were both essentially fruitiness. The black had a deep fruity flavour, with the exotic having a familiar blend of dragon-fruit and maybe Lychee in there which actually balanced it out nicely.
My partner had the traditional dairy versions - which melted a lot faster and was funny to watch - she had coconut & chocolate.
Lovely little place - right outside a national park - and frankly the ices didn't need to be anywhere near as high quality or decent taste as they were - and the prices were fair too!
As a contrast I saw these iced teas at a nature reserve and had the black one to try
It was just very expensive, weak black tea! Can't win them all.
