So, here is a new restaurant that has a take-out counter. I've tried their jerk chicken and it is superb. Their oxtail looked excellent too. Does anybody know how to get soursop icecream in Manhattan?? Treme's sometimes had it when they weren't sold out. Soursop is best icecream I've ever had.

(and thanks to squid for providing the name.) re: soursop -- aka custard apple or cherimoya -- ice cream, i love that stuff, too. just about every ice cream shop in singapore has it. i haven't seen it in nyc, but when i googled, i came across a yelp reviewer who mentioned having it at mancora in 2006. it's an old lead, but it could still be worth calling the restaurant and seeing (1) whether they still have it and (2) where they source(d) it from.

I'm def gonna try out this West Indian spot....and report back. Tue Oct 21 02:49:39 -0700 2008 4117786 71379 missinfo 2 4118445 Are you sure that soursop is the same as custard apple? I thought they were different. I haven't had soursop ice cream, but I have had guanábana juice (which I think is from the soursop plant), and it tastes nothing like custard apple I have had in India. Tue Oct 21 09:09:33 -0700 2008 4117786 48389 racer x 3 4118494 I think you might be right. Soursop, cherimoya, sweetsop and custard apple are all part of the custard apple (Annonaceae) family, but are distinct fruits (species?), according to this link: http://waynesword.palomar.edu/jackfr1.htm From that link: "Soursop (Annona muricata), another large, spiny, cauliflorous fruit that may weigh up to 6 pounds (3 kg). Unlike the jackfruit, it belongs to the custard apple family (Annonaceae) and is native to tropical America. This interesting plant family also includes the cherimoya (A. cherimola), custard apple (A. reticulata) and sugar apple or pinha (A. squamosa). Soft, ripe soursops are mostly used for ice creams and sherbets." Tue Oct 21 09:24:55 -0700 2008 4118445 64215 cimui
