I snagged an optometrist appointment in Fresno. And you know what that means:
A return trip to the Palace of Paletas! Here are my popsicle reviews to date:
Snickers: A+. Creamy vanilla with generous chunks of frozen Snickers.
Strawberry cheesecake: A. Creamy cheesecake ice cream with tasty if gory-looking streaks of strawberry sauce.
Watermelon: A. Pure frozen watermelon juice, cleverly made to resemble a rind-and-all slice by means of a layer of vanilla icecream and a layer of green lemon sorbet at the stick end.
Coconut Water: A. A more delicate flavor than coconut ice cream; refreshing, not too sweet.
Whole pecan: B. A slightly too-lavish hand with the pecans unbalanced the experience.
Horchata: B. Fine but I've had better horchata paletas.
I reproduce their entire popsicle menu below in the form of a poll. Vote here for which popsicles I should bring back and cram into my freezer! Cut for length.
