In Germany the Eisdiele, the corner parlour run by Italian-German families, is a summer ritual. The star is Spaghettieis: vanilla riced to look like pasta, topped with strawberry sauce and white-chocolate «parmesan». Parlours riff on it endlessly, from a Carbonara version with nut ice cream and eggnog to coupes served in glass with wafers. Mannheim, where Dario Fontanella first riced vanilla in 1969, remains the spiritual home, and regulars debate whose sauce is best.

Germany loves ice cream and invented Spaghettieis: vanilla ice cream pressed into spaghetti strands, topped with strawberry sauce.

Spaghettieis was invented in Mannheim in 1969; pushed through a ricer, the ice cream mimics pasta with tomato sauce.
