Not the most delicious I have eaten, the best in Israel: go now, talk to the doctor afterwards

One manages to do something that is always hidden on the side, the other has a heavy French accent and an Israeli bastard: two ice cream parlors that have already been replaced by a summer closet

A summer agenda on the agenda.

The encouraging corona decline and the rapid summer occupation now taking place outside (still April of spring, at least in theory, yes?) Gave the signal for a fresher, more temperature-adjusted and much more smiling culinary agenda.

To the delicious Instagram page of Walla!

This

food

is not only the openness, the headlines, the launches and the food news, but also the understanding that the Israelis have returned to the street, with a difficult ambition to close gaps, and quite a few desires from almost a year of realization problems.

And in our book, Street + Summer + Vaccines = Ice Cream.

So we sent Amit Slonim to visit a new branch of "Gelido" in Tel Aviv, and we went to see for ourselves what developed with the dizzying "Mystic".

Because life is a crispy cup with lots of cold stuff inside, and anyone who tells you otherwise probably prefers temperatures dropping.

"Gelido" ice cream

Four adults are needed.

There is an old joke about vegans that goes like this: "How will you recognize a vegan at a party? Don't worry, he will already tell you."

Vegans do not like this joke, probably because it has quite a bit of truth in it.

I remembered this when the editor of the food section turned to me and said to me: "Salons, a new ice cream parlor has opened in Sheinkin, supposed to be really good, want to go taste and write about it?".

And my immediate response was: "Did you forget I was vegan?".

Well, the new branch of the "Gelido" ice cream parlor on Sheinkin Street in Tel Aviv does not offer more pompous artisan ice cream like many places in the first Hebrew city, but may win the title of "the most vegan-friendly ice cream parlor in Tel Aviv."

It is not just abundance and quantity, but far beyond.

In fact, as soon as you enter the place, when you discover that the large ice cream refrigerator closest to the door is the vegan refrigerator, the token begins to fall that it is a different kind of place.

It is important to say, this is not a vegan place and based on the vegan ice creams I have tasted I can only assume that the cream ice creams in the place are of the highest quality (Editor's note: they are indeed such).

I can attest that these are the most delicious ice creams I have tasted since I gave up animal food.

And that's a pretty blatant statement when it comes to a sweet lover like me, so I'll rephrase it: this is the best vegan ice cream right now in Israel.

Between utter madness and genius.

I do not remember if I ever tasted pistachio ice cream in which I could actually feel the nutty oil dripping from the glass, as if it were a fatty whipped cream

In the back and quite impressive kitchen, probably for an ice cream parlor, we found Ido. Chef Glacier 32-year-old with a resume of studies in Bologna. Already six years ago he opened the original Jelido branch in Ramat Hachayal, and then, in a decision that ranged from utter madness to genius, he decided to open a new branch at the height of a global epidemic that fatally damaged the catering industry, and certainly places of classic street food like ice cream parlors.

Even before he finds out I'm vegan, Ido is quite proud of the vegan flavors in the place, and claims that at any given moment you can find 20 vegan ice cream flavors that change here.

We will not try to compare dark chocolate ice cream to cream chocolate ice cream, but we can compare fruit ice cream dishes, which we are used to giving the derogatory nickname "sorbet". Well, I have never tasted such a rich and fresh strawberry ice cream. I do not remember if I ever tasted pistachio ice cream in which I could actually feel the nutty oil dripping from the glass, as if it were a fatty whipped cream.

Do we have more time to talk about peanut butter and lotus?

On the "Black Forest" dripping the sweet rum?

You will not find dishes based on soy milk or almonds, yes you will find pecan ice cream with salted caramel based on walnut oil.

Thank me later.

If the vaccine had infiltrated me with a chip that transfers all my personal information directly to Bill Gates' personal computer, it would have been worth it for this dose of corruption.

At this point, my young production assistant, Neil Slonim, not yet 5 years old, ordered from the expanded menu a Belgian waffle with two scoops of ice cream and two respectable whipped mountains.

For the avoidance of doubt, the waffle, ice cream, whipped cream and even the eco-spoon (and the eating!) Are all vegan.

The dish, which costs NIS 47, can be enough for two to four adults.

Doctor, I do not remember what exactly happened there, but the girl left the plate empty.

When we went out to the ham garden, which is located right in front of the place, we found corona vaccine activists who held a demonstration on the street and claimed that the fact that they could not enter the street shops was discrimination that reminded them of the Holocaust.

So first of all, thanks to the activists who made the girl in kindergarten pre-compulsory to ask "What is a Holocaust?".

Second thing, believe me, even if the vaccine infiltrated my chip that transmits all my personal information directly to Bill Gates' personal computer, it was worth it for this dose of corruption.

And if you have already decided on a bold ice cream in the midst of a global epidemic, then "Mystic".

The colorful ice cream parlor on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv opened at the end of the infamous 2020, long months before the vaccines (barely) got life back on track, while closing closures-inspectors-renovations.

We visited it back then, holding fingers that this project will last and survive, and we were happy to find that what does not kill - goes into a brioche bun.

Layers of summer.

The man responsible for the colorful and elegant charm of "Mystic" is Marc Stickman, a Frenchman who made aliyah, settled in the country a few years ago, and developed an ever-increasing crave for good ice cream.

Long months of self-study, and additional long months of trial and error, questions and diagnoses eventually led to the opening - and the results present the process.

In a good section, of course.

There is a soft ice cream here, very French in its qualities and very Israeli in its fruit, there is the same photogenic carb-ice cream sandwich, there is a high "peach from the heart" and invites a high teaspoon, and there is also a layered dessert, which calls itself "Delice Glace".

Or in our own words - Mark's box of surprises.

France.

Italy.

Israel.

Stickman's day begins early in the morning, passes through workstations of raw materials such as milk and ice cream, continues to bake the dessert bases and ends with quite a few smiles on a dream come true.

"The flavors were inspired by France, but also by Italy of course. At the end of every good ice cream parlor you can find someone Italian," he told Walla!

Food, while expressing hope for the reopening of the streets, and the city.

"Customers still come in and can take of course, but anyone who buys ice cream probably wants to stop, sit on a chair and enjoy it."

"Mysticism", Dizengoff 138, Tel Aviv
