00:00Yeah, all old people like ice cream, don't they?
00:04Are you going to go for ice cream today? It's natural ice cream.
00:07Yeah, we are, definitely.
00:09We've got fish and chips and ice cream.
00:11Can't do better than that, can you?
00:14I think banana.
00:16Yeah, banana, I think. Sub-zero.
00:19Either that one, or when we go to Spain,
00:22I also quite like the Spanish one, or the Italian out there,
00:26which has got like a lemon and cheese sort of flavour.
00:29I know, it's really nice.
00:31Very sort of continental out there.
00:34But, yeah, no.
00:36I don't often have ice cream, I've got to be honest, so no.
00:39My husband likes just normal whipping, but I like flavour,
00:42and I like blackcurrant.
00:44I prefer it in the sunshine, because it makes you want to have an ice cream.
00:47But if it's a cloudy day, I don't mind an ice cream.
00:50If it's a good flavour, I'll have it, but I have to have a flavour.
00:53My best flavour is blackcurrant.
00:55Honeycomb.
00:57That's mine.
00:59Pistachio. That's my favourite.
01:01They do it over here, don't they?
01:03Yeah, I don't want a plain vanilla.
01:05You want to have something with a bit of something in it,
01:07hence why I like the Sub-Zero, because they put all the toppings on.
01:10If you're going to have ice cream, you've got to put it all in.
01:13Probably salted caramel for me.
01:16I like a banoffee, I think.
01:19I think I'd go mint chocolate chip.
01:21They're quite classic, but kind of fancier ones, you think?
01:24Do you ever go for just a standard Mr. Whippy kind of vibe, or is it...
01:27You like the flavour?
01:29The flake, yeah.
01:40We need the nice weather for it, don't we?
01:43You don't want it too old for ice cream, is it?
01:45It's lovely, lovely, really nice.
01:48There's nothing quite like a 99 with a flake and a little bit of sauce.
01:52I don't know if they maybe aren't 99p anymore,
01:54but you really cannot go wrong with one of these.
01:57Easy, quick, reliable, and you don't even have to wait
02:00and listen for her music to come down your street.
02:02She's right here.
02:10There are plenty of flavours out there nowadays,
02:12but one couple want to bring back an all-time classic ice cream at home.
02:17Teresa and Rob bring back all the nostalgia with the iconic banana split.
02:22We've revived the old banana split.
02:25Banana split? At home?
02:27Yeah, cos you can't get it in many pubs, maybe, any banana split.
02:33We make it ourselves.
02:35Obviously a banana, because you have a thing.
02:38Then you put a scoop of ice cream on top.
02:40Chop it in half.
02:41Chop it in half, put it in a dish that's suitable for putting bananas in.
02:45And then you put ice cream on it.
02:47And then you put the sauce on it.
02:49A banana boat dish.
02:51And then you put sauce on it, and then you put flakes on it.
02:55And if you're really indulgent, you put cream on it.
