I'm unclear if this reformed old Ambulance is called Ice Cream Rescue or Ryeburn of Helmsley, but the flag saying UK Champion Diary ice cream drew me in. The menu showing which were the award winning flavours was very helpful too.
I tried mint choc chip (gold medal) and balanced it with some wild blackberry sorbet. I think they were good without being outstanding. To be fair they aren't flavours I normally choose so maybe that was part of it.
It was a little while ago and not so memorable in my mind. Would probably go for the chocolate and strawberry next time.
They don't do lamb which I'm used to from Melbourne or pork that I'm used to from Greece. But chicken is always available at these places too and is the star of the show here, with the layers of meat cooked to a lovely char colour on the spit.
Chicken gyros wrap - gyros, pitta bread, tzatziki, tomato, onions, chips, signature sauce £6 is a bargain for such a large serve. The chicken was very tender and flavoursome. Wrapped in were lots of fries with paprika. Served piping hot. Absolutely delicious.
The Shambles market in York didn't really have much that interested us in the way of crafts and odds, but a well rated crepe/galette place certainly got a bit of attention. I wasn't sure if we wanted to spend one of our few meals on it as I often find crepes underwhelming and galettes to be average outside of a proper sit-down place in Brittany/France. However this place seemed to have a handle on things and had some nice smells wafting too.
We tried Truffe - mushroom & truffle duxelles, cheddar, local free range egg, black pepper, dijon mustard £7.5. I wouldn't call it necessarily a traditional galette that you would find in Brittany. t's cooked with a heap of delicious cheddar that crisps up reinforcing the buckwheat shell, smeared on top with butter, with a mild mushroom and truffle flavour, and some mustard on top.
Whereas the Briton galettes are crisp and simple to allow the buckwheat nutty flavour to come through, this one has bursts of flavour throughout by the cheese. It's exceptionally tasty and maybe better... (at least to our non-French tastes).
