Completely an aside, there is a chocolate/coffee shop near me. This summer I noticed while getting an espresso that they had shakes and malts, so I told the girl to just make me a shake and dump a couple shots of espresso right in. HOLY SHIT. This summer I probably had, no exaggeration, close to 100 vanilla espresso shakes. Sort of glad Fall is here so I can calm down.And it cost less than the milkshake I stupidly got last night.
You are now aware of what Espresso Affogato means.
I had that in NY this past summer from a little roadside cart, -the ice cream version. I should have known everything has a name. It basically kicks the ass of every flavor combination that companies like Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Daz could ever come up with. A pinnacle.
Okay so what happened to me was that I live near a place that had half-off milkshakes all summer, and I got conditioned in August and September, and now it's not summer and they're not half-off -- but I'm fucking addicted so I still order them if I have an especially shitty day. They don't do espresso otherwise I would definitely try that.
