'I found little-known UK spot where you can get huge ice cream for bargain price'
More and more it's getting harder to find small luxuries at a low price. As a result of inflation and the rising cost of living, many people have had to cut back on treats like takeaways or desserts but one London foodie has found a little-known spot in the capital city that sells a huge serving of ice cream for less than £5.
The social media user @london_bite_and_vogue describes herself as a 'Desi foodie in London' and she focuses on hunting for vegetarian cuisine and hidden gems in the UK. In a video on TikTok, she showed an enormous soft serve ice cream cone that would be perfect to enjoy today (Sunday, July 20) as it is National Ice Cream Day.
The clip shows the foodie using an ice cream machine to get two towering ice cream cones with different colours.
It has gained significant attention with 525,800 views, 15,600 likes and more than 250 comments, at the time of writing.
Although the TikTok user didn't say where she got the huge ice cream from, a user in the comments section revealed that it is from Kabul Korner restaurant and takeaway in Harrow, London.
The eatery shared a post on Instagram promoting its huge ice cream cones where it stated that a single is £2.50 and a double is £3.50.
This is quite reasonable as according to Park Holidays, the average price for a Mr Whippy in London is £4.10 per ice cream cone.
Kabul Korner offers ice cream in various flavours, including mango and pistachio. Viewers who saw the TikTok video by the 'Desi foodie' were shocked at the price of the ice cream.
One said: 'Omg that can't be £2.' Another called it a 'bargain' and a third viewer commented: 'In Italy it will cost you 40 euros each.'
A seemingly big fan of the chilled dessert chimed in: 'Omg yes please I'll take 4.'
Others highlighted the appearance of the ice cream as one viewer noted: 'That actually looks so pretty.'
However, some people in the comments section weren't keen on the size of the ice cream.
A viewer remarked: 'No thanks, way too big. I will stick with the regular ones, plus this is sugar overload!'
Another questioned: 'Who could eat all that ice cream?' Some viewers found humour in how big the ice cream is.
One joked: 'This will take me a whole day to finish. By the time I finish it it's gonna be all over my clothes!'
Someone who has tried the Kabul Korner giant ice cream shared: 'Been to this place. To start eating this ice cream from a respectable position, you have to hold it down in your ankles.'
A different viewer gave a suggestion: 'Bring a large Tupperware so you can put the ice cream and cone in there. And share with friends and family. And save it from falling on the floor.'
While a giant soft serve ice cream cone might not be everyone's idea of a great summer dessert, this treat from Kabul Korner is ideal for budget-conscious foodies or those who want something a bit different to a regular ice cream.

McDonald's in holiday hotspot boasts 'beautiful' surroundings and DJ until 4am
While you might think McDonald's restaurants are not fancy, this chain in a popular holiday spot begs to differ - it is inside a beautiful building where DJs play until 4am and there are light shows People have been left gobsmacked and saying "where has this been all my life" after discovering a unique McDonald's in a popular European party spot. When we travel abroad, many of us like to try out the local cuisine and avoid food spots that we can easily get at home. But, often, some of our favourite brands offer different menus we wouldn't be able to try at home. Plus, if you're partying all night and get the munchies you know you can relay on McDonald's at the end of the night. While we all know what McDonald's restaurants looks like, the menus vary by location to reflect local tastes and traditions - and there are a few which look nothing like the other eateries, such as the biggest McDonald's restaurant is in Orlando, Florida. In New Zealand, there is also a McDonald's where food is served from an abandoned aeroplane, plus there is a floating McDonald's service in Germany. Plus recently, fans discovered a rather spectacular McDonald's in Goshen, Indiana, located in what looks like an entire Medieval castle. Holiday experts at Travel Republic say that there are many more unique McDonald's eateries that many are unaware of - and look completely different to a typical McDonald's. One viral TikTok with almost 128,000 views shows the fast-food chain in Budapest transforming after 10pm with a DJ set and lights. The burger joint is called McDonald's Nygati and it is close to Budapest train station. It first opened in 1990 and even then was said to be one of the most beautiful chains in the world. Some have compared it to a "five star hotel",reports the New York Post. In 2024 the spot was closed for eight months of renovations, said to have cost over £3.6million. Old features inside have been resorted, touch screen tills have been added plus a new outside area. It boasts antique lamps, painted stucco ceilings, huge glass windows, and large terrace area to enjoy meals outside. Recently a video went viral of one customer, named Elena, showing off the beauty of the McDonald's following a first time visit. The clip showed the eatery looking like a nightclub after 10pm. On Friday and Saturday nights you can order a Big Mac and boogie on down as the immersive events see the grand ceiling inside the restaurant transform into a light show. You will see everything from a journey through space, fish swimming in the ocean or the jungle. Plus, there are also DJs spinning live decks between 10am and 4am. There are even special food options, including the Goosey Gustav burger, which has foie gras on top, and gluten-free buns. Food can be seen moving through the restaurant on conveyer belts, Elena showed in her video. On Trip Advisor, one individual said: "Worth a visit if you're nearby. It;s situated beside the train station in a beautiful building unlike any other McDonald's I've been too. Service was quick." Another wrote: "The most elegant McDonald's in Europe, on Fridays and Saturdays you dance from 9pm onwards is on the roof are projected lights and animations. Characteristic is the building adjacent to the Budapest train station."

Travel expert issues warning over 'incredibly painful' Disney rash
A Disney expert has warned about a painful-looking potential side effect to fun-filled days spent at theme parks - a very unsightly rash. Stephanie Peters, a US special needs travel professional who frequently shares her wisdom on visiting Disney parks with her 68,000 followers on TikTok, posted recently about the uncomfortable irritation that thrill-seekers might not expect from a Disney holiday. Posting on her stephpetersautismtravel TikTok account, Stephanie says: 'If you want to avoid the Disney rash, here's three things you can do.' The travel expert explains: 'Sometimes when people go to Disney, they end up getting something that's called the Disney Rash.' She continues that the skin flare-up, which often appears on the legs, can be 'extremely painful' and many people who get it don't understand what causes it. The condition she continues is known as 'exercise-induced vasculitis (EIV)' and is 'caused from prolonged walking or running in excessive heat'. The good news is, say medical professionals, is that it's entirely harmless and often goes away on its own without treatment. In her video, Stephanie offers her own tips on how to avoid the skin irritation, including staying hydrated, elevating legs when possible and wearing compression socks. Health practitioners also advise staying out of the heat - but say the rash will usually fade after two weeks with no long-term effects. Stephanie says she's so concerned about keeping hydrated while visiting theme parks that she carries a liquid IV - which contains electrolytes to enhance hydration -with her. Exercise-induced vasculitis is also known as 'golfer's vasculitis' because it's common amongst fans of the sport who spend long days in hot weather outdoors on fairways. What causes it? According to the NHS, it's a blood vessel inflammation that affects the lower parts of the legs, often after 'strenuous exercise or activity for a long time, especially in warm weather.' Last month, it was revealed that a Disney Hug Rule exists for the actors who play characters at the brand's parks and resorts. The unofficial guideline suggests that the hugely popular characters often seen doing meet-and-greets should only pull away from a hug when the child does, allowing little ones to hug the character for as long as they want. The rule is in place due to the heartwarming sentiment from Walt Disney; 'You never know how much that child may need that hug.' And many parents have posted sweet videos of their children embracing everyone, from Winnie the Pooh to Tigger to Elsa from Frozen. There are many montages of these videos on TikTok – including one from @Flickdash, which has been liked more than 496,000 times. And in one very cute video, posted by McCall Cook, a little girl called Hazel June is seen running up to Anna from Frozen, hugging her, and refusing to let go for more than two minutes. In the video, liked by 3.3 million people, Anna constantly talks to Hazel and asks her questions, remaining in character throughout the long hug – and Hazel even goes in for a second embrace. Hazel's mum McCall captioned the video: I THINK SHE BROKE THE RECORD WHAT DO YOU THINK? 'The Disney hug rule means that characters are to never let go of the child's hug first and to allow the child to hug as long as they want! 'I think hazie wouldve sat there all day long if there wasnt a line behind us haha.' The adorable video has more than 10,200 comments - and people are welling up. One said: 'I'm sorry but how do you not break down crying every time this happens?' Another added: 'Why does the Disney hug rule always make me cryyy����❤️❤️healing that inner child in me.' A third said: 'This is so pure and innocent ohh my heart.' But a few people also wondered whether the parents should've stepped in to break up the hug, and let the next child in the queue have their turn. One said: 'As a parent, I would have stopped it earlier.' Another blasted: 'The parents should know that the hug went on for way too long as they put the Disney worker in an awkward position.' It comes after a Disney World visitor ignited a heated debate on social media after claiming she was denied access to a ride due to her 'inappropriate' gym attire. Nicole Arena, a personal trainer from the U.S., took to TikTok earlier this month to document her experience during a visit to Orlando's Walt Disney World Epcot park with her husband. In a series of videos posted to her account @arenalifts, Arena said she was 'dress-coded' for wearing a white Nike sports bra and black leggings - an outfit she described as typical gym wear.

Comedian cancels Fringe show over bail terror charge conditions
Comedian Susan Riddell was one of three women charged under the Terrorism Act 2000 after the incident at the Leonardo factory in Crewe Road North, Edinburgh on Tuesday, July 15. At a private hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday, she made no plea to a charge of malicious mischief, aggravated by having a "terrorist connection". Her new show titled How Do You Sleep at Night? had been due to run for a month at the festival from next week. READ MORE: Donald Trump protest planned near mother's birthplace during Scotland visit On the official Fringe site, the show is now listed as "cancelled". In an Instagram post, Riddell said: "Thanks to everyone who has shared my Edinburgh fringe show but unfortunately due to bail conditions I'm barred from Edinburgh for the foreseeable so I won't be doing my show." Bail restrictions impose the Glasgow-based comedian from travelling into the city. Riddell is a BBC regular, and has written and starred in her own BBC mini-sitcom pilot Dregs. READ MORE: News organisations express concern over starvation facing journalists in Gaza The protest Riddell allegedly took part in alongside Allegra Fitzherbert, 34, of London, and Naomi Stubbs-Gorman, 31, of Glasgow was part of the Shutdown Leonardo campaign. The Leonardo factory has been subject to numerous protests amid Israel's genocide in Gaza. Last November, for example, campaigners shut down the factory by blockading the entrance. Leonardo produces weapons for the Israeli military including guns used in the maritime blockade of Gaza and its wholly-owned subsidiary RADA Electronic Industries makes software which supports the country's 'Iron Fist' system which provided cover for tanks used in the ground invasion and levelling of Gaza, according to the Who Profits Research Centre.
