Trouble (Gadbad) Icecream

Circa 1975 Mangalore, India, a guy behind the ice cream counter got really angry. A customer wasnt very happy with his ice cream perhaps. He demanded more. A very customer fat. Someone who wants a meal out of an ice cream. Pissing off the ice cream guy was perhaps a bad mistake.

But since, ice cream guys dont carry knives, he tried to do it with ice cream. 'You want special ice cream ehh. Let me shovel whatever sweet stuff I can find in the shop. A wheelbarrow of ice cream, a bucket of nuts, semi solid fruit salad thingy and drench the damn thing with syrup of three kinds. I hope you get a diabetic attack or brain damage.' And so the Gadbad Ice Cream was invented.

Post workout meals should be good enough to replace, refuel and build. So after a sumptuous honey glazed chicken dinner at Casablanca cafe located at the BSK BDA complex area, my aching muscles still craved sustenance. Time for a falooda.I walked into the SLV swadishta which has desserts good enough to rival Baskin robins just a few metres away all at a quarter of the price and none of the pretentiousness. The dessert chemist at SLV swadishta was all out of ingredients for a Falooda. 'You look hungry, how about a Gadbad' he suggested.


Long story short more of a meal less of a simple ice cream. Well thank god I didnt suffer any diabetic attacks.
