Herbal Snow and a Show

My friend Jeff and I were off to see a Shakspearian play put on by a group of his frineds, however, we had arrived a bit early. So, after surveying the local shops we decided to venture into an icecream shop and waste our time indulging our sweet senses. This icecream shop had more flavors than I have ever heard of, including some I didn't care to hear of. Jeff and I, being our wierd and spontaneous selfs decided we would be cheating ourselves out of a unique experience if we didn't try something new. So, I asked the shopkeeper what the best seller was, and he said Herbal Snow was a crowd favortie. I was a little leary seeing as it had poppy seeds in it, but we decided to give it a try. He told us it was made with a Rosewater base, which sounded like a familiar ingredient, but I just couldn't place from where. After the first bite, I remembered....bath salts. Yes, Rosewater is a common ingredient in all sorts of unedible lotions, bubble baths, and hand soaps. They are unedible for a reason, Rosewater is GROSS! This "icecream" also included ginger and poppy seeds. Let's just say I would NOT reccomend it!

Sounds gross and looks gross!! Rosewater is strong-smelling and although good for your skin I would never want to eat it. Way to try new things though - adventures are good!
