I remember back in the 30's, we didn't have a refrigerator. We would go to the market to buy big blocks of ice they were harvesting on a lake nearby. Me and my brother would bring the blocks back home in an icebox for storage and once in a while, mom would grate some and add blueberries and raspberries syrups on it, it was soft, a bit like fresh snow and we didn't need to break our teeth. Of course we would also cram some of it, that was very refreshing.

Damn... If you didn't mention it I would have not even recognized them. Do they still sell them? I can't even see the brand.
