If Hanson's opened in front of the Superdome for Saints' Sundays...

Well for one, its a snow ball not a snow cone. A snow cone is a yankee thing. Hard little squares of ice with syrup on them.

A snow ball is just like snow,finely shaved ice that melts with ease. My all time fave has to be spearmint with condensed milk. Some snow ball stand once named it the grass hopper.

@Homer- Hansons is New Orleans oldest and one of the first (if not the first) snow ball stands. It has been around forever and till this day, there are still lines outside the door to get in on a hot summer day.

I've never had snow cone like that, here they are just shaved ice served with fruit juice or pina colada or copious amounts of booze, what you just described sounds maple taffy, or if you want to get really tedious about it 'tire d'erable' (at least in canada).

Damn it's been years since I had one. Blackberry & condensed all the way.

Hanson's is an old sno-ball stand uptown in New Orleans.
It's not that far from where I live.... but the way traffic creeps around uptown, it's pretty far away!

Is there a Goodell blood? With condensed milk, of course.

I get the original Party Bliz with ice cream, and I tell them don't change a thing, to make it just like the one in the picture on the cup.

Man, Hansen's in front of the Dome -- that would be the only line in the world that would possibly move slower than the Gate B line going into the Dome from Poydras on Sundays, where my seats are. Takes FOREVER to get in. Longer than it takes to get in Hansen's on a Sunday!

I would like a Clan Mc Gregor Scotch on the rocks snowcone.

SapperSaint · 05-08-2013, 02:57 PM

Mardigras9 · 05-08-2013, 03:26 PM
