Awesome Thing We Ate #849: A Popsicle Made With Chili, Lime And Local Cucumber

Portrait

Not all popsicles are created equal, as amply evidenced by this lovely bit of business from local company Icy Fresh Pops (consumed at the Main. St. Farmer’s Market late yesterday afternoon). It was made with lime juice and zest, serrano chilies, cucumbers from Yarrow, organic cane sugar and a little salt. $4 for a popsicle is a bit of a stretch, but man did it ever taste good! We tried to take it home so we could melt it in a glass of gin, but alas…twas too hot and how could one resist licking the hell out of something like this?
