    Brian, I completely understand what you are saying. NO topping. We are going to France next year, so we will be sure to try the ice cream you have mentioned. When Leanne & I were in Italy last, we had a gelato (home made small shops mainly when we could find them) every day for the entire 4...

    W124 1995 e280
