It's simple strawberry ice cream on a stick, probably similar to pepermint stick (although I haven't tried nor seen it). I think it originates from Pekabela (ice cream factory from Belgrade I think), and Rumenko was well known among the former Yugoslvia republics. I'm not sure if they make anymore, but if you come across it somewere JDS, try it. P.S. Capri is another (Top 2) option from the same maker I know most of the people that read this won’t understand but: The best ice cream ever is Rumenko!

Green tea would fall into the fruit category for me, because of its quenching quality. While I am familiar with the red bean concoction in mochi and other such sweets, I have never had it nor the alluring purple yam in ice cream form, so I am not in a position to judge nor categorize them. One thing I meant to mention in this post was the mystery of how rare coffee ice cream is here. It can be found, sure, but not nearly as often as you would think in a country where espresso and cappuccino are so highly valued, and so excellent in quality. In the picture, <em>kapučin sladoled</em> is just out of frame to the left, and Magda leaped on it like a gecko on a jujube. I went with <em>malina</em> (raspberry). I'm sorry you find my organizational system constraining. <em>A ciascuno il suo</em>. It has worked for me since I first learned about peppermint stick. Finally, an update: moments after I posted, Magda arrived to announce that she had tried After Eight®: "Disappointing [makes face]. It was full of little chunks of ice, which completely disqualified it." Good questions all, jdog. Green tea would fall into the fruit category for me, because of its quenching quality.

It's my personal favorite. I love the bitter edge, which is also why I love the chocolate/coffee types in general. Bitter rocks. And how about the azuki (red bean) ice cream so popular in Japan? Or purple yam, another favorite? With fruits? Your ice cream typology seems uncomfortably limited to me. You need to work on this, buddy. Would you lump green tea ice cream with the chocolate strand?
