There are few desserts more Italian that the popular affogatoa curious mix of ice cream and coffee, which allows you to enjoy a great two-for-one on summer days.
something to which a hotelier from Vigo seems to be no strangeras reproduced in his ‘X’ account, the old Twitter, the user El Hematocrítico, who did not hesitate to post the occurrence of the Al Alba cafeteria in front of what we could consider as the Galician cousin of the affogato.
The name leaves no room for the imagination: brownan elaborate play on words that merges the words coffee and ice cream with the same mastery as the ice cream in question balances on the cup of coffee.
In this case, we do not know how to proceed to taste this combination of dessert and ice cream, but it doesn’t seem very functional. With the ice cream crossed over the cup, perhaps the heat of the coffee breaks up its frozen companion too much and it ends up being necessary to resort to the spoon as a remedy.
We do not know it, I insist. What does not seem feasible is recover the ice cream with its classic stick, since the spill is surely imminent. Furthermore, we assume that the coffee – which should not be cheap – comes in a complete pack where, at least, we will have the right to sell that ice cream among dishes.
We also do not know – and this has been made clear in the tweet – if there is room for choice to order the most desired ice cream or it is a jack, knight and king.
It will have to be investigated in depth, but we hope that this whole occurrence will always have as protagonists the classic frozen chocolates and no one has the happy idea of going around smearing a popsicle or the typical cone, as if it were a muffin, in the cafe.

Although we don’t want to make firewood from the fallen tree, obviously. Maybe with this excuse we will start recover very Italian traditions that mix ice creams and coffees like affogato with which we begin hostilities or, for the one who is placed in Sicilian customs, with the peculiar granite with brioche
