Its like slush with a squirt of juice added.
Imagine a scoop of snow with flava!

Here around Baltimore it's ice shaved from a big block and topped with completely artificial fruit-flavored syrup and sometimes marshmallow fluff (yuchhh!). Snowball stands are everywhere, and sometimes run by kids instead of lemonade stands.
Now, growing up in Philadelphia we had Water Ice, also called (I)'talian ice, which is more consistent in texture and came pre-mixed in big tubs like ice cream but probably essentially the same thing, though the lemon really had bits of lemon in it (yummm!). Nothing like it on a 90+ degree day.
Forest, what makes you ask?

Then there is Hawaiian shaved ice that is some how creamy almost and flavored with pineapple, mango or some other tropical juice, some times artificial flavoring too...v. yummy on a hot day.
I still prefer Ice Cream. Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge. Or Chocolate Mousse Royale, need Drool bucket again.... |

Its what you get at the zoo when its 150 bloody degrees out!
I've had Italian Ice once, but it was yucky. Wasnt nearly sweet enough for my liking 
Forest, if you want to make a snow cone, just chop up some ice in a blender (make sure it wont bend the blades) until is a fine, powdery consistancy. You can get snowcone syrup in the States, never tried to get it outside  but if you can't, cured sugar and juice works just fine!

Might I had they are very good!!
To make one. Take ice and put it in a blender. Blend until it is very finely crushed. Scope it out and put it in a cup or bowl. Mix up some Kool-Aide (what ever flavor you like) then pour it over the ice and eat with a spoon until you need a straw. |

She's bloody melting in Scotland right now and needs to hear about this little koolaid trick. Its on its way hun, Grape and cherry you'll have 'em in a week or so!
Sorry couldn't send the ice it would melt and then start to mush the kool aid crystals altogether and then where would we be?

Hot in Scotland? I didn't know it got hot in Scotland. Down south here we are having a crazy summer. It's getting down in the 50's here at night. In August! Highs in the 80's. It's wonderful!
Enjoy the snowcones! |

It sounds like snow cones are the same as Slush Puppies...  |

Ummm ... not quite, I think. Slush puppies you eat with a straw from the get-go, right? Snow cones you have to start with a spoon or just eating until it's almost completely melted.

Well I am only about an hour south of the TN/AL line. It got really cool here this week. Which isn't normal. My sister lives down your way she has said that it is very hot down there.
We are to get another cold front through here this week and be back in the 60's at night. It feels great!  |

I'd kill for some 80 degree weather up here in Middle Of Nowhere, New York. 
Right now it's something like 50 or 55 degrees...
Brrr...  
(Ha! I finally got to use those two smilies! )

Getting to be sno cone weather in Seattle again too, but I prefer ICEE's and 7-11 slurpies to snocones, these are much like Slushpuppies....
Snocones are like chipped up ice, Tiny cubies...in the shape of an icecreamcone, but in a waxy paper cone form cuppie thing....
I was watchng Uuwrapped on the Food Network, They say that Hawaiian shave ice hold the flavoring better
Hawaiian ice=freshly fallen powder snow,
Sno-cone= old snow iced over a bit
Slushy= any snow following a warm rain and you step in it without boots on and freeze your foot..... |
