Exactly! I put up with that in bars or restaurants, but
at home I can have cubes the way I like.

I understand that's to be expected in Europe.

Really, at least they wouldn't evaporate.

I always bring a bag of ice to family functions, ice in drinks isn't
a priority for anyone else, clearly. Evaporated ice cube trays is
what I find more often than not. I'm not complaining at all, it's
my thing. Just one less thing for them to worry about if I supply
the ice.
