	We (an anynomous group of diners, yearning for dessert)
visited Lyonen & Bjornen (the Lion and the Bear) Ice Cream in West LA
last night.  This place serves Swedish ice cream; it's the first US
franchise of a popular Sewdish chain.

	The ice cream is delicious, made fresh daily, but what makes
the place special are the unusual flavors.  Marzipan ice cream, yum.
Grapefruit sorbet with a real bite.  Lingonberry, ja, sure.  There are
various chocolate, coffee, and/or liquour combinations which, I am
told, are astounding.  There are different flavors each day.  On the
"down" side, the ice cream style is *not* super-high-fat.

	We visited the store on Santa Monica Blvd., 1 block west of
Bundy.  There's also a store in Beverly Hills.  Happy Hour is 10-11 PM
-- half price scoops!

PS: This has nothing to do with food, and isn't really Swedish, either,
    but does anyone out there know how to get hold of a copy of the
    film "Du Duve"?  CMR.

(much positive stuff deleted)

Speaking of great sweet stuff, The chain 'Louise's Trattoria' has
begun selling wonderful ice creams at several locations (*NOT*
West Hollywood, but definitely Glendale). The selection of flavors
is not as eclectic as Lyonen und Bjornen, but outside of the lamentably
deceased 'C'est Moo' in Seattle, WA, it has the best rum raisin
ice cream I've ever had. Also, does everyone know about 'Il Gelato'
on Robertson near Olympic in Beverly Hills? Not only is the gelato
on par with Tivoli in Florence (a risky comparison), but the 
atmosphere is almost exactly like a real Italian gelataria-- the
only difference being the absence of a gatekeeper/cashier who
goves you a receipt which you exchange for the goods-- a charming
bureaucratic attenuation of the commercial process!

This was shown on satellite (I believe Bravo) two nights ago.

Living near there, I frequent Lejonet & Bjornen (note the spelling) and
highly recommend it.  They workers are nice, the flavors are good (in
particular, I like Black Current and Jack Daniels Chocolate), and the 
price is *much* lower than Robin Rose or Eiger.
