The first thing I thought of when trying to think about what foods came to mind as summer foods that revisit childhood memories was Gelato.
So it was nice to see that something from our childhood still remains the same. On hot days or on the odd occasion during the summer one of my friends dad would pile a bunch of us kids into the car and drive us to Nino D'Aversa Bakery for some Gelato. We didn't wait for an ice cream truck because we lived on a main street that Ice Cream trucks couldn't stop on. So when we wanted ice cream we either got it from the convenience or grocery store or we got the good stuff once in a while at the Bakery. That was the fastest way to make a bunch of kids happy and quiet. As long as we were stuffing our faces full of Gelato we were content. I think that's still true to this day for me. I think my all time favourite food is Italian Food because not only does it remind me of hanging out at my friends houses when I was a kid but it's made with simple, fresh ingredients that bring out the purest flavours of the foods.
Ice Cream or Gelato is still one of my favourite foods to this day.
For this post I stopped into
Nino D'Aversa Bakery to get a Gelato and contemplate why I love it so much and appreciate that the place I went to as a kid is still the same as it was as I was a kid. They did a little expansion a few years ago but it's basically still the same.
When I was a kid i think I used to get the lemon and chocolate flavours, but now I have switched from chocolate to coffee flavoured. This Gelato is pure flavour. The lemon tastes like a freshed squeezed lemon with a bit of sugar and the coffee flavour just tastes like you put a cappuccino in the freezer.
It's interesting that so many years later my friend's daughter now works at another Nino D'Aversa location. Her grandfather is the one who drove us to get the Gelato's all summer long. I hope that one day she carries on the tradition of taking a bunch of kids there for Gelato. I don't have any kids to take there but if I did I most certainly would.
