THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

There were two ice-cream sellers who appeared on Sundays with a wooden cart pushed forward on wheels and bells attached to the handlebars.  In the cart was a large wooden barrel with the ice cream inside, usually lime, mango or mamey flavour.  The carts had names.  One was called La desgracia de Pearl Harbor (The Misfortunes of Pearl Harbor) and the other was called De todo los hijos de mi mama, yo soy el favorito (Of all my mother’s children, I am the favourite).
