Ice cream in winter?

AuTriker

My husband keeps pestering me to eat the ice cream I bought at the end of summer. I love ice cream in summer when it is too hot as it helps me cool down. But I do not want it in winter as it makes me feel cold. I don't think it is weird at all to prefer warm things in winter and not want cold things, and vice versa in summer, but he keeps saying I am the weird one for not wanting ice cream in winter. I have tried to do a poll, no idea if it has worked!

What about you, am I alone in this?

  • I am someone who eats ice cream under specific situational circumstances rather than seasonal ones. Long walk, ice cream. Visiting a new city, ice cream etc. 

    The weather doesn't matter, nor does the time of year for me

    Does it not make you cold in winter? Or do you not mind being cold? I guess after a long walk you are probably quite warm anyway though.

    I once had ice cream after kayaking and swimming in the far north west of scotland, I was extremely cold, in fact I couldn't talk because my jaw was shaking too much ( I have a very strong shiver reflex) I still had ice cream because it was there. Gave me the worst case of brainfreeze I have ever had but because I had just done a rigorous activity I couldn't not do it. It fulfilled the conditions.

    There's also a picture of me eating a cornetto at 6 o'clock in the morning, sitting in my sleeping bag, in a tent, in my pyjamas, when it was 8 degrees outside because we hadn't managed to have one after yesterday's walk and it felt very wrong so had to make up for it
