I say we adopt the tapas and sushi fads and incorporate those as well. We could just add bacon to everything as well.

I shite you not I was thinking about a bacon snowball flavoring last time I got one. I wouldn't eat it, but a lot of people probably would so so they could say they had.

i would like to put a true new orleans style sno ball stand in a MLB stadium for a summer and see how it does.

little overhead, im sure you'd have to pay the stadium a fee for a space, but u could still inflate the prices somewhat because people over pay for everything at sporting events

i would be willing to bet you $100 that i could tell a difference if you gave me 10 nectar snowballs from 10 different places - assuming they dont use the same recipe. I have been eating these since i was a kid and have only found 2 places that had the same taste, later found out they have the same recipe

Ernest Hansen built his own machine also and it is still being used today.

Most people take issue with the ice texture, I had a "snocone" in Kingsport, TN yesterday crunchy as hell and they don't have straws. But it was 95 degrees and well it was just dandy for the time and the place. And from what I heard Harry wasn't so social in high school anyway 'freaux he kinda kept to himself.

I love Sals. The social scene out there on summer nights is pretty cool too.
Passed by at 9:30 on Monday night and there were probably 30 or so people out there.

Not bacon, and not a snowball, but equally as crazy. Did anyone get this?

Crawfish Bisque Gelato...Really LINK ][LINK]

I've had budweiser gelato and garlic ice cream, so I can't say I'm shocked. (Both sucked by the way )

In a little strip of stores on General Meyer in Algiers, you had two snowball stands. Van's, and another place

Cajun Cowboy, on Huntlee. They had their own cups, so you could get a discount on future purchases.

Van's was the better of the two, for sure.
