In today's Irish Times, they're looking for the Best 99 in Ireland - and when we mentioned this on the show this morning, the text machine nearly blew up. We haven't seen you this animated since we were looking for the best chipper in Ireland! Here are some of the places you can find an EXCELLENT 99 around the four corners of Ireland:
Best 99 is definitely Fancy Fare in Salthill. Creamy ice cream, cold, swirly, huge! Yum... Nicola
Doyle’s in Castlerea have the best 99s! They use full fat cream and clean the machine every day. That's the secret. Fab. Mairead
Best 99 has to be Chambers Newsagents in Newport, Co. Mayo. The shop has been open since 1902 and it has been selling them as long as I can remember!
Best 99s in Malones garage Ardee. Generous portion, nice cone and lovely ice cream with the syrup added by the machine while filling the cone.
Remember this kid? Look at him holding his ice-cream! (any reason to shoe-horn this into a web-post) -
The best 99 in Ireland is in a small town in Cavan - Eddie O'Reillys shop in Virginia. I've had Teddy's and it doesnt even come close!!
Best 99 - Brennan's in Loughinisland, Co. Down ....homemade piece of heaven! Joe P, Finglas.
McCrystals in Jenkonstown, Cooley, Co. Louth - by far the creamiest 99 in Ireland! From Amy and Sean on the N4
Best Ice cream in Ireland; Beechworld, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Mmmmmm!!
Best 99 - A shot of ice-cream down the cone funnel, after that, the bigger the better! Personally, I love the crunch of 100's n 1000's all over it! Mmmmm! :D Rosaleen
Phil, Teddy’s in Dun Laoghaire has the best 99s ever - my 92 year old gran said that’s where she used to get her 99's when she was a girl - Declan, Dublin.
The best 99 to be got is in the Builin Blasta in Belmullet, and oh my god you have to try the ice cream smochies made with a bar of your choice! Yummy!
Pearce O’Neils in Ballyshannon has the best 99 in Ireland. You actually have to queue on the 1st day, St Patricks Day - you cannot get close to the shop. People drive from neighbouring towns with bowls for their Sunday ice cream. Bring it on Ann, Pearce and Rory!! Treacy in Donegal Town
Best ice cream O'Connell's in Kingscourt Co. Cavan - really creamy and loads of toppings, yum. Christine
And our absolute favourite came in via Facebook - thanks to Barry Ennis for telling us that Cream Dreams on the Quay Front in Wexford have the best 99s in Ireland. (STRAIGHT FACE)
