taste the rainbow

This summer, a friend of mine introduced me to snowballs, a cold treat that originates from Louisiana and is similar to a snow cone except that the ice is finer making its texture more airy, like snow. Pelican's Snowballs has a few stands in the triangle area and they boast that their snowballs are the genuine article.

Pelican's menu is extensive and it's remarkable how much they can get ice to taste like other things (birthday cake was delicious). You can take your chances on a flavor like dill pickle or on one whose name leaves its taste a mystery, like fuzzy monkey or wild thang. Yeah.

But, what really got me curious was the kids menu.
