Good news if you're nostalgic for that ice cream! If you feel like taking a drive, you can still get the chocolate-mint. The HoJo's in Lake Placid, NY, is the last of the full-time restaurants still operating. I was there a while back during leaf season and it was hard to get a seat in the restaurant. They do have the chocolate-mint ice cream on their menu (www.lakeplacidhojos.com/Desserts.html)! My favorite was always pistachio with real pistachio nuts in the days when dyed walnuts showed up in the other brands we bought. But the mint was super, too. Oh, darn--I'm getting hungry for ice cream even though low teens are forecast for tonight.
