Ice Cream & Sorbets

What is it about ice creams and sorbets that is so appealing to children and adults alike? Perhaps it is the tingling shock of the cold as it hits the tongue, melting to release cool, fresh flavours. Whatever the reason, their eternal popularity is undeniable.

At The Carved Angel diners are offered a small scoop of a very light sorbet after the main course. This may be a wine or a melon sorbet – something pure, and not too sweet, to refresh and reinvigorate before deciding whether or not to indulge in a richer pudding. In fact, after two fairly substantial courses, this light sorbet, or a scoop of ice cream with a few raspberries or a slice or two of mango is often all that’s needed to satisfy a craving for something sweet to round off the meal without overloading the stomach.
