Turkish Ice Cream

[Rubyschmoo]

I've just come back from holiday in Turkey, where they have the most amazing thick ice cream, unlike any European one. Does anyone know where I can get this 'Dondurma' style of ice cream in this country, preferably in the South East?

Waitrose sell "Antonio FEDERICI [it's like that on the label] gelato". Look out for the distinctive square tubs. This is unlike any ice cream I have had anywhere, because it is so thick ; it is made with double cream, and you have to leave it quite a while for it to get warm enough to eat. But it sounds exactly like the ice cream you are describing..

it has two odd ingredients in it, mastic and ground orchid root.
