When it’s far too hot, there are the obvious comestible remedies, such as cold drinks and ice cream (see end of Joey’s post), but a rather nice alternative is frozen cakes.
Not the sort you’d normally find the the freezer section of the supermarket, but something like a chocolate muffin that you’ve frozen yourself. I’ve only tried it with chocolate muffins and madeira cake so far, but it’s really rather nice, and as they don’t have any cream, etc, in them, you don’t get little bits of ice to kill your teeth.
Delicious, nutritious, and cooling.
That sounds pretty good actually, I shall attempt it post haste!
