I usually look for kulfi at Toscanini's, but then they will
probably have burnt caramel or some other divine thing too. (I
think the burnt caramel in the stores is not the same.) If you
are a fan of pistachio, I recommend that you go to Kimball's
someday. I usually treat myself once a year. If you ever do go
there for anything, get the kiddie cup, which is still too big.
