'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.

Netflix fans so 'speechless' by film based on a true story they've watched twice
The Netflix film, directed by Angelina Jolie, is based on the powerful true story of Olympian Louis Zamperini and viewers say it's one of the most heartbreaking things they've ever watched Netflix enthusiasts are being encouraged to dive into a ' bingeworthy' true story that promises to keep you glued to your screen. TikTok's TV and film aficionado Eccy Reviews has hailed the Netflix offering Unbroken as a show that will render you "speechless". Directed by Angelina Jolie, the film chronicles the life of Olympian Louis Zamperini following his near-fatal plane crash during World War Two. Zamperini endured a gruelling 47 days adrift on a raft with two fellow crewmen before being captured by the Japanese navy and taken to a prisoner-of-war camp. The 2014 cinematic piece, featuring Jack O'Connell, Miyavi, and Domhnall Gleeson, has a runtime of 2 hours and 17 minutes and boasts 14 awards and 33 nominations The TikTok critic enthused: "You have to watch this true story on Netflix immediately. I promise you that this will be one of the most powerful and unbelievable things that you will ever watch. "I went into it completely blind and by the end of it, I was speechless. What this guy went through and how strong he is as a human being, it is one of the most heartbreaking things that I have ever watched. "I promise you that this story will stick with you. You will never ever forget this film so please get this film on your watch list." In response to his video, one viewer remarked: "The book and the film are both awesome." Another chimed in, saying: "Great film, watching it twice." A third user enthused: "Absolutely brilliant movie. I have watched it about five times. Jack O Connell should have received an Oscar love it." Another shared their thoughts, saying: "Omg what amazing film but very sad watch." On IMDb, a reviewer shared their experience: "I finally rented this movie which I had been avoiding since it was released over a year ago. I am glad I did because it kept my interest throughout. I thought the POW theme would be too depressing which it is but there is no glossing over that." They continued to praise the director: "Angelina Jolie has become an admirable director. I don't understand the hate directed towards her. This is an epic movie that is very well done. The film has won it's fair share of awards including three Oscar nominations." The same user was surprised by the lack of further recognition: "The acting is great. I am surprised the movie didn't receive more Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Lead Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Director. Also the Coen Brothers should have received more recognition for their screenplay." Another person reflected on the film's heavy content: "Unbroken was a hard movie to watch because of the torture that Louie Zamperini was put under. When he was taken as a prisoner of war and stuck in a foreign country with the other prisoners of war, it really hurt me to see the way that the human race can treat another person. "I think it is cool how at the end of the movie, it showed pictures and gave an update on Louie. For all that he endured, he went back to the people that tortured him and made amends with them. I loved how the movie ended on a semi-positive result even though it was kind of dark. "Also, It put me at ease to know that he finally got to run the race he was training for, for so many years. Lastly, I really liked how the graphics and how realistic every aspect of the movie was."

Sturgeon agrees to TV interview ahead of memoir release
The former First Minister will be grilled by ITV News presenter Julie Etchingham for a special programme that will be broadcast at 7pm on August 11. Ms Sturgeon's book, Frankly, hits the shops on August 14. The interview will focus on the memoir's most striking revelations, delving into the ex-SNP leader's successes and controversies, personal insights and political flashpoints. It is being produced by the ITV News team responsible for previous key political interviews with former Prime Ministers David Cameron in 2019 and Boris Johnson last year. READ NEXT: Glasgow restaurant announces 'closure' - here's exactly why READ NEXT: 'First-ever' market event to be held in busy area in August Etchingham said: "Nicola Sturgeon is quite simply one of the stand-out politicians of a generation. From her rise as a working class girl to the pinnacle of Scottish politics as first female First Minister, she has charted dizzying political heights to being hailed the most dangerous woman in Britain. In what I hope will be a revealing encounter, I can't wait to see how Nicola Sturgeon lifts the lid on her politics, life and legacy - and to find out where she heads next.' Sturgeon has declared nearly £200,000 in outside earnings since standing down from the top job in Scottish politics. Her book, Frankly, is expected to lift the lid on her nine years as Scotland's leader and the breakdown of her friendship with the late Alex Salmond. According to her Holyrood register of interest, she received £75,000 in 2023 from publishers Pan Macmillan for the first of four instalments of a book advance.

Nicola Sturgeon Ltd also received £25,000 from broadcaster ITN after the former SNP leader appeared on a general election night results show. To coincide with publication of her book, fans of Ms Sturgeon are being charged £75 to attend a 'meet and greet' with her later this year ahead of an interview in Edinburgh. The fee is on top of ticket prices for the event at the 2200 capacity Usher Hall which stretch to £73.95 including the booking fee. In an Instagram post, she plugged an 'evening with Nicola Sturgeon' in the Capital in which she would reflect on her career in politics. Sturgeon, who is standing down from Holyrood next year, has been accused of being a part-time MSP since resigning as FM, with critics hitting out at her attendance record.
