Aust., U.S. lick the British
NZPA-AAP London Britons ate the equivalent of 85 ice-creams each last year, licking their way through $BBO million worth. However, the British consumption, assisted by an unusually hot summer, was left in the shade by Australia and the United States, according to a report by an ice-cream manufacturer, Lyons Maid. Australians eat three times as much ice-cream as the British and Americans eat four times as much. The average consumption in Britain was 5.7 litres a head, compared with four litres in Italy, the product’s traditional home, “The Times” said. However, many British shops stock ice-cream only during the summer months, and it is virtually unavailable until late spring.
