The initial taste-test

Staff at Star-Times offices in Wellington (sorry to the 41 other regional offices) swarmed to the ice cream like bees to po¯ hutukawa honey. Eric Janssen thought there was a hint of jelly-tip to Clouston’s po¯ hutukawa honey ice cream. ‘‘I thought the Anzac biscuit ice cream was delicious, but so sweet, it should come with a free dental plan.’’ Katie Townshend liked the Anzac Crunch best. ‘‘It was really reminiscent of your classic Anzac biscuit flavour, everything you would expect to taste came through. The po¯ hutukawa honey was really refreshing. I’d never tasted po¯ hutukawa before, so that was quite interesting. It’s really hard to choose, they’re both delicious.’’
