Dirty Ice Cream
Mamang Sorbetero
I took these series of shots on the day the Greeks celebrated the beginning of the Lent.
Remember your childhood days rushing to the streets upon hearing the ice cream bell of a Mamang Sorbetero. The Sorbetero is a vendor who sells sorbetes ice cream, the streets. He goes around pushing a cart with colorful designs that attract the attention of customers. Inside his cart are three cylinders designed to keep the three variations of ice cream fresh and cold.
“Dirty ice cream” its not only in the Philippines but in Athens too.
I am not here in France for holidays but for my work and I am using public internet at 3euro an hour. Hopefully we should get our wireless connection at work soon.

Hi Sha,

Hi Shalimar – I am soooooo longing for my trip to Greece in the summer, will surely have some ice cream then. It is so freezing cold here in Scotland, and I can’t wait to be somewhere hot and warm…
Nice pictures!

how do you call mamang sorbetero out there?
so why is it called dirty? Is it because its from a street cart? They have these carts all over my neighborhood, but theyre manned by elderly latin men and are full of tropical flavored ices.
who can forget dirty ice cream? Slurpppp…
