One of New Orleans own inventions is the snow-ball which is enjoyed by young and old. New Orleans has several really hot months so a taste of snow in the summer really hits the spot. it is not really snow but shaved block ice put into a paper cone. You have a choice of about 100 flavors buttersctch, watermellon, cherry, tutti fruiti or any combination of flavoring you would like. In the last 15 years cream has been added so you can combine that with any flavor. There are no snow-ball chains that I know of, as it is a neighborhood thing. There will always be lines of people waiting in the early evening hours for their taste of winter. You have to eat them in the street as there are few stands with seats. Have you ever had a Sno-ball?
