Yesterday marked a very special food day for me. I tried Rita’s Italian Ice for the very first time.
Yes, that’s right. Before yesterday I had never tasted it. Not a bit, not a lick, nothing. I loved it.

I remember holding out on Rita’s for a LONG time… while pregnant, it was ALL I craved.
Of course, I was pregnant throughout the winter. No Rita’s.
The black cherry is perfection.
I think I was expecting Italian ice like what you buy in the freezer section in the grocery store. I was SO wrong. I’ll have to try black cherry. I love me some cherry!
I’d never had water ice until I moved to the Philadelphia area! My sister took me to a place in Roxborough that had “gelati”–I had orange water ice topped with vanilla soft serve ice cream–wow! Now I live close to a Rita’s and the lines stretch down the sidewalk in the summer.
Margaret – I’ve still not tried the gelati, but I NEED to. I’ll put that on the Summer 2011 list. 🙂
