The Publick House, not in Brookline 7.29.11

The Publick House
On the Common, 277 Main Street - Route 131, Sturbridge, MA

I used to live in Brookline down the street from the Publick House.  The food was good and so was the crowd.  It's a beer place, and I drank beer there.  The Publick House in Sturbridge is very different:  older, laid back, wealthier, and more suburban.  It really is Thanksgiving there every day, and I got the roast turkey.  But enough talk about the savory stuff.  Here's dessert.

Coffee Ice Cream Bombe:   coffee ice cream dome with a rum flavored chocolate-almond filling

The ice cream was excellent.  I might have learned to like coffee ice cream now.  And the surprise in the center was marvelous: creamy, rich, and sweet.  Exactly what you want in the middle.
