Front of custard stand

The day we visited, there was a foreign film crew doing an interview with Ted Drewes himself! He looked well over 90 and the staff at the custard stand said he retired several years ago.

Gotta have some

Of course, we had to try some 😋 very rich and creamy.

Here's the menu. I had a Blue Note - an homage to the local hockey team.
