I have only had one ice cream from Il Mirto (I try to eat healthily) and it was delicious. Black Cherry with good sized lumps of cherry. They do have big tins of some kind of ice cream mix or powder on display prominently. I just presumed that this was part of the production process and fairly standard. The only people who are going to buy tins of approx 2-3 litres of ice cream powder are going to be small scale producers. Clearly the ice cream is made on the premises. To my mind that counts as home or hand made. There may be some technical definition but I would be surprised if this fall outside of it.

More money is being spent on Dartmouth Road than there was previously. If there was a greengrocer there, just a small one similar to Fresh and Fruity in Sydenham, then I would visit Sainsburys much less frequently. Ideally there would also be a bakery and the butchers would move to Dartmouth Rd.
