"Excellent. Grab a seat, I'll be right with you." It won't take more than a few minutes, but Senku will come around with a tray for her once it's ready.

The ice cream concoctions are served on a tray with comfortable handles. It looks like a basket, although in reality, it's double walled and there's dry ice in between so that they don't melt. No cheating, of course.

The first offering is a banana split with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry each, topped with whipped cream. The second is a parfait of sorts, layers of hot fudge and vanilla ice cream, as well as chopped nuts. The third bowl has a scoop of sea salt ice cream. The fourth cookie dough, topped with sprinkles. The fifth bowl has a scoop of apple pie ice cream with two candied apple slices placed decoratively on top of whipped cream.

This is, after all, a food challenge. There is a set of smaller cups, five of them that hold just sample sizes, and each one has one of this month's flavours. One chili pepper and cinnamon swirl. The second, cinnamon bun, the third sweet curry, the fourth cookie dough and the fifth coffee caramel twist.

Finally when he brings out the tray, he sets it down and then brings her a cream soda and a strawberry milkshake.

"Feel free to give me your feedback on both the flavours, and the challenge itself."
