Highlighting the impact of the beloved culinary tradition, Good Food said the UK is home to a whole host of artisan ice cream parlours and historic gelaterias which offer "unique flavours and experiences."

Alandas Gelato on the "historic" Forrest Road in Edinburgh was the only ice cream parlour in Scotland named among the best in the UK by Good Food.
Discussing the Scottish spot, the magazine said "the shiny gelato parlour combines Scottish ingredients with Italian craftsmanship, churning Scottish cream and milk from East Lothian into gelato in its on-site micro-factory."
Alandas's gelato is apparently served in waffle cones, cups or shakes, and comes in a range of flavours like lavender and white chocolate ganache and cranachan, Scottish whisky and caramel.
There is also hot Belgian chocolate on tap, supplying the "creamiest hot chocolates around."
The parlour is also popular with patrons on Tripadvisor, with users giving it a 3.5/5 out of 75 reviews.
One person said: "Best ice cream in Edinburgh, staff were very friendly and great service. I have been there a lot of times and love that they always have new flavours. Would recommend the chocolate cones as well!"
Another added: "They had such great flavours and while a bit pricey, the gelato was worth it!"
A third person penned: "The line was out the door, but moved quickly. I got the chocolate and it was very good! Loved the little wafer on top!"
