A Brescia quando voglio sedermi con gli amici ad un tavolino, stare comoda e, magari, concedermi una di quelle coppone “10.000 calorie” con tanto di ombrellino, cialde e "dieta mia vattene via", allora vado da Possi.
Quel giorno, in particolare, su ogni tavolo c’era un cartellino con sopra questo:
In palio, per il primo classificato, c’era la possibilità di creare una coppa di gelato personalizzata e sceglierle un nome.
Mi si sono illuminati gli occhi a stellina! Io VOLEVO creare, assolutamente, un MIO gelato e dargli un nome!
Ho fatto la foto al mio gelatino con il mio cellulare "punti Esselunga" e con questa foto ho tartassato per giorni e giorni gli amici su Faccialibro perché mi votassero (a proposito GRAZIE a tutti di avermi sopportato e supportato!):
Sono arrivata seconda.
Ma non importa, è stato ugualmente carino partecipare.
Primo perchè tanto, oramai, l’idea malsana di creare il mio gelato si è insinuata in me e, poiché posseggo una gelatiera, è solo questione di giorni!
Secondo perchè anche alla seconda classificata, Possi ha riservato un bel regalo che sono andata a ritirare in buona compagnia (potevo mai perdermi l’occasione di spaciugare?!? MAI!).
Questo è il mio “assaggino” del giorno del ritiro del premio:
E questo è il premio:
Una maglietta, una piccola borsa termica, due mug molto carine e... indovina l'intruso?
...
Anche alla mia micia è piaciuto il regalo!!
Possi è una gelateria che esiste da che ne ho memoria storica, ma solo recentemente ha saputo rinnovarsi sia esteticamente che qualitativamente: oggi è un locale accogliente e fresco, con proposte variegate, adatte a soddisfare anche esigenze particolari come quelle Veg o dei celiaci.
Vengono proposti gusti tradizionali, senza una particolare attenzione alla stagionalità ma con un'ottica di qualità che permette di gustare un gelato sempre piacevole.
La vera forza della gelateria, sono le coppe-giganti: da Possi bisogna sedersi al tavolino ed esagerare; con le classiche, “Affogato al caffè”, “Banana Split”, “Spaghetti di gelato”, “After Eight” (gettonatissima!) ma anche con quelle meno convenzionali, come le “crepe con gelato” o i “waffel con Nutella e gelato”.
Il mio "assaggino" della foto sopra è un waffel senza nutella ma con gelato e panna, che oltre ad essere gigante era sofficissimo, veramente spaziale! Anzi, se ci penso, mi viene un languorino...

Contest: Summer Is Possi
In a normal summer's saturday after had two polenta with melted cheese, a grilled chicken, two skewers, three beers, fries and with a collective atmosphere as "socks with sandals", the only reasonable thing left to do was going to the ice-cream shop !
In Brescia, when I want to sit at a table with friends, being comfortable and, perhaps, allow myself one of those ice-cream bowls "10,000 calories" with topping, wafer and "my diet go away," then I go to Possi.
That day, in particular, on each table was a card with this on:

that is an invitation to photograph one's ice cream, post the photo on Facebook and ask friends to vote it.
Up for grabs for the first place there was the possibility of creating an ice-cream's cup customized and choose a name for it.
My eyes has lit up like stars in the sky! I WANTED to create, absolutely, MY ice-cream and give it a name!
I took the picture of my little ice-cream cup with my smartphone "Esselunga's points" (N.D.R. Esselunga is a supermarket, and I bought my smartphone with the points collected by shopping there) and with this picture I bothered my friends for days on Facebook because I wanted that they voted (by the way BIG THANKS to all!!)

I came second.
But no matter, it was nice also to attend.
First, because by now, the unhealthy idea of creating my customized ice-cream bowl has crept into me and, since I own an ice-cream maker, it is only a matter of days!
Second, because even to the picture which arrived at second place Possi has reserved a nice gift; I went to withdraw it in good company (Could I ever miss the opportunity of "snacking"?!? NEVER!).
This is my "little taste" of the day of award's withdrawal:

A shirt, a small cooler and two mug very nice and ... guess the intruder?
...
Even my cat liked the gift!
Possi is an ice-cream parlour from historical memory that I have, but only recently has been able to renew both visually and qualitatively: today is a cozy and cool shop, with varied proposals, adapted to meet special needs such as those of celiac or Veg.
They offer traditional flavours, without putting particular attention to the seasonality of ingredients but with a view to quality that allows to enjoy an ice-cream that is always pleasant.
The real strength of Possi are the bowls: here you have to sit at a table and exaggerate; with the classic: "Iced Coffee", "Banana Split", "Spaghetti ice-cream", "After Eight" (very sough-after!) but also with those less conventional, such as: "crepe with ice-cream" or "waffle with Nutella and ice-cream."
My "little taste" of the picture above is a waffle with ice-cream, without Nutella but with cream; as well as being giant it was spongy, really out of this world! Indeed, if I think about it now, it makes me craving.
