Don´t Forget About Us Part IV - Sadly Not Worth It (For Me??)

 
 
I wanted to plan a lille bicycle-tour to this place as it was on the to-see-list of Braunschweig.
I forgot about it and was surprised to find it on the way to my appointment in the West of Braunschweig (on foot).
 
See...
 
 
Maybe they do have good ice-cream and sweet waffles (it smelled very VERY sweet), but then... it smelled TOO sweet.
I don´t like sweets much, Ingo is not allowed much due to his health and there was nowhere to sit and "enjoy".
That there was a queue on a rather cold day speaks for the place, though.
 
If you come to Braunschweig and  love sweet stuff... visit Coney Eisland!
Maybe I have to go there after all - they have Chili Sorbet!!!
 
It seems in this neglected area of Braunschweig people are creative! See last post to this subject.
You can take the westerly Ringgleis if you are not afraid of dogs.
 
Where formerly trains went it´s now for cyclists and walkers.

This was the last one from the West of Braunschweig for Tom´s Signs2.

Have you some "secret" places that are satisfying?
 
P.S. I now know why the bad summer. Two weeks ago I was at LIDL to get frozen avocado-wedges and BBQ-broccoli and got this:


It sits untouched in the freezer ever since  😥
14C/57F.

P.S. 2 - the punch inteded seems to work :-)
It´s not Coney Island but really Eisland, German Eis > ice-cream.

I like ice cream but have to limit my intake because I am already too fat! I have a favourite spot where I get the best-ever fish and chips at a kiosk on the grass at the Semaphore Beach. It's almost two years now since I bought some, I will have to make sure I go again this coming summer.

Coney Island, I thought that was in New York, lol.
What a pity they had nowhere to sit and enjoy an ice-cream or waffle.
Caramel ice-cream, love it!
Enjoy the rest of the week Iris

River, I think with age we all fight the fat...
I sure willl have fish and chips in Perth, too - And half a burger from Grill´d... !

Sami, Coney Eisland, not Island :-)
Punch from them intended.
If it warms up we sure will try the ice-cream!
To a good week!

Oh dear, I knew there had to be some reason why summer is hiding from you! :)) xx

Island - Eisland. Sehr klug. Too bad they didn't have a place to sit to enjoy the treat.

magiceye said...

I love ice cream and thankfully now good sugar free ice creams are available!

Tom said...

...not the Coney Island that come to my mind. Caramel? I thought that you didn't like sweet things. Iris, I hope that you are having a wonderful week.

RedPat said...

I have some caramel ice c ream in the freezer waiting for the warm weather to come back.

Divers and Sundry said...

I like my sweets but in moderation, and I don't tend to eat them out places. I'd be tempted by that place, though, if there was friendly seating :)

Black Knight said...

I also don't like sweets much but it's a good way to sit and relax with my wife.
Coney (E) Island Baby: a beautiful Lou Reed's song! 1976, I was 20...... long time ago.

Christine said...

Looks fun there

Bill said...

I only like ice cream in hot weather.

Iris Flavia said...

Margaret, yes! Buhuuuuuu.... xx

____

CJ, ja, sehr klug :-)

____

magiceye, I had one all from natural fruit today!

____

Tom, very, very seldom my sweet tooth wakes up!

____

RedPat, you, too?! LOL...

____

Divers and Sundry, I had one on the go today.

____

Black Knight, I admit I didn´t know that song!

____

Christine, yes, a fun idea!

____

Bill, same - so I have to wait! Though today I ran myself warm and had a mango-cone.

gigi-hawaii said...

I don't like overly sweet desserts, either. I didn't know Eis meant ice in German, but it makes sense.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, sweets only once in a while, then my "sweet tooth" fall asleep for a longer while again...

Ingo said...

Now it is touched! (I couldn't resist) Yes, there are crunchy bytes inside and a little sweet also. (But not teeth-breaking sweet)

Iris Flavia said...

Was a bit yummy, a bit too sweet... but maybe the shitty weather is beaten now, Murphy!!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I would give anything to have your weather. Today it is 107 F (41.7 C). I would give you mine in a heart beat.

Sorry there was no place to sit for the people who bought the ice cream and waffles. Nice signs, though. LOVED the Henry sign.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, Elizabeth, LUCKY YOU with the weather! Perfect!
How crazy is this year, though? Again no satellite due ti rain yesterday.
Yes, sad there was no tables/chairs - it´s just a little kiosk.
All "food" hand made!
Henry says thank you (in a professional sellers' voice ;-)...)

I still have chocolate in my fridge that remains idle and uneaten.

Jeanie said...

I like that they have a rail trail for walkers and cyclists. And your Henry this time is very striking!
