Citrus Apple Freeze looks very good!
We had the warm chocolate pudding from Ireland last year and it was DELICIOUS. Over our 6 day vacation, our group probably tried about 90% of all the booths’ food items, and this was easily in the Top 5.
Important question is the Twinings Pumpkin Chai Tea and Caramel Shake (non-alcoholic) a snack credit?
