'I found little-known UK spot where you can get huge ice cream for bargain price'
More and more it's getting harder to find small luxuries at a low price. As a result of inflation and the rising cost of living, many people have had to cut back on treats like takeaways or desserts but one London foodie has found a little-known spot in the capital city that sells a huge serving of ice cream for less than £5.
The social media user @london_bite_and_vogue describes herself as a 'Desi foodie in London' and she focuses on hunting for vegetarian cuisine and hidden gems in the UK. In a video on TikTok, she showed an enormous soft serve ice cream cone that would be perfect to enjoy today (Sunday, July 20) as it is National Ice Cream Day.
The clip shows the foodie using an ice cream machine to get two towering ice cream cones with different colours.
It has gained significant attention with 525,800 views, 15,600 likes and more than 250 comments, at the time of writing.
Although the TikTok user didn't say where she got the huge ice cream from, a user in the comments section revealed that it is from Kabul Korner restaurant and takeaway in Harrow, London.
The eatery shared a post on Instagram promoting its huge ice cream cones where it stated that a single is £2.50 and a double is £3.50.
This is quite reasonable as according to Park Holidays, the average price for a Mr Whippy in London is £4.10 per ice cream cone.
Kabul Korner offers ice cream in various flavours, including mango and pistachio. Viewers who saw the TikTok video by the 'Desi foodie' were shocked at the price of the ice cream.
One said: 'Omg that can't be £2.' Another called it a 'bargain' and a third viewer commented: 'In Italy it will cost you 40 euros each.'
A seemingly big fan of the chilled dessert chimed in: 'Omg yes please I'll take 4.'
Others highlighted the appearance of the ice cream as one viewer noted: 'That actually looks so pretty.'
However, some people in the comments section weren't keen on the size of the ice cream.
A viewer remarked: 'No thanks, way too big. I will stick with the regular ones, plus this is sugar overload!'
Another questioned: 'Who could eat all that ice cream?' Some viewers found humour in how big the ice cream is.
One joked: 'This will take me a whole day to finish. By the time I finish it it's gonna be all over my clothes!'
Someone who has tried the Kabul Korner giant ice cream shared: 'Been to this place. To start eating this ice cream from a respectable position, you have to hold it down in your ankles.'
A different viewer gave a suggestion: 'Bring a large Tupperware so you can put the ice cream and cone in there. And share with friends and family. And save it from falling on the floor.'
While a giant soft serve ice cream cone might not be everyone's idea of a great summer dessert, this treat from Kabul Korner is ideal for budget-conscious foodies or those who want something a bit different to a regular ice cream.

The freak accident occurred on Saturday night. Dog, 78, is not directly related to Zecca or his tragic teenage son - since he was born during Francie's previous marriage. Police confirmed that they responded to a call about a shooting at around 8pm local time.

An investigation into the circumstances of the horrific accident is still ongoing. A spokesperson for Dog and Francie told TMZ: "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony." Dog and his wife married in 2021 after each of their partners passed away. They said they bonded over their shared grief during their relationship. Zecca reportedly works with Dog on his bounty hunting team alongside Dog's daughter, Lyssa. Star Trek and Mission Impossible star who was married to late screen icon dies aged 97 Dog's step-son was also a gun enthusiast - and has previously shared photos of him "getting some range tine in" with his son and their rifle back in 2021. Reality personality Dog is a renowned bounty hunter and former bail bondsman. In a 2010 interview with The Guardian, Chapman revealed the hidden meaning behind his name. Chapman told the media outlet: "When I was in a motorcycle gang I was made sergeant of arms. "He's the smallest guy with the biggest mouth who starts all the fights. "The club president called me 'God spelled backwards' because I spoke about God and I was man's best friend. "In the bounty hunter world it turned into 'this dog can hunt'." Chapman rose to fame as a bounty hunter in 2003, after his successful capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico. He went on to catch more than 10,000 fugitives according to an interview published in The New York Times back in January of 2020. This is not the first time the bounty hunter has been plagued by a freak tragedy. The night before his wedding with former partner Beth in 2006, Dog received the horrific news that his daughter Barbara, 23, had been killed in a car accident while in a stolen SUV in Alaska. 6 Gregory pictured with his son Anthony 6 Anthony was reportedly killed in a freak accident More to follow...

Beautiful European city with £2 pints named 'cheapest for Brits' this summer
The holiday destination in Spain has been labelled as 'better than Magaluf' by Brits who have visited recently, with cheap drinks, stunning beaches and great nightlife A Spanish city just a short hop from the UK has been hailed as 'better than Magaluf' for its vibrant nightlife, budget-friendly booze, and breathtaking views. British holidaymaker Tara stumbled upon the 'hidden gem' of Ballermann in Mallorca and was taken aback by its popularity among European tourists, particularly Germans. Her TikTok video, uploaded by @taraeleanorr, showcasing the lesser-known Spanish locale has gone viral with over 429,000 views, as she touts it as a top spot for Brits looking for a getaway. Tara described the area as a place where you can enjoy 'techno for breakfast, Currywurst on every corner, and a sea of football shirts'. Despite booking her trip to Ballermann by accident, she admitted she would '10/10 go back to Ballermann again. Do you have a travel story to share? Email webtravel@ The clip, which has attracted more than 17,000 likes, highlights the region's attractions, including lively German pubs, a thumping party scene, and gorgeous sunsets that give Magaluf a run for its money. Commenters have been quick to share their own thoughts on the area. One visitor remarked: "Went here last year, was immense." Another commented: "This is better than Magaluf, I've been a few times." Another added: "Absolutely beautiful place, great for drinking on the eve too had a right laugh in the German beer hall style bars." Another person admitted to making the same error, commenting: "Done the same in 2007, was an unreal holiday." Ballermann boasts 15 beach bars scattered along approximately four kilometres of coastline. The El Arenal beach caters perfectly to party-goers and provides numerous nightlife venues. A pint in the region typically costs around £2.50, whilst return flights can be secured for as little as £30 each way from the UK, making it a bargain destination this summer. Just 500 Brits have looked up Ballermann over the past 30 days, a stark contrast to the 252K Brits currently hunting for Magaluf holidays, indicating this area could be Mallorca's best-kept secret for those seeking an exciting break this summer. Travel experts at Travel Republic commented: "The island of Mallorca is a great destination for British holidaymakers looking for a buzzing atmosphere. But if you're searching for great nightlife without the large crowds, then Ballermann may be the location for you. "Due to Ballermann being unknown to many British tourists, it may be less crowded than other areas of the island. British holidaymakers travelling to Ballermann can look forward to sunny weather, beautiful beaches, and delicious food."

'Influencer' who garnered more than 165,000 followers while 'enjoying Wimbledon' is revealed as an AI creation
She has 165,000 followers on Instagram and recently posted images showing her enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon. But the 'model' whose social media persona became an internet sensation at the championships was actually created by AI. The posts on Mia Zelu's Instagram page were so carefully curated that they hoodwinked more than 40,000 people into liking her pictures and leaving comments in the belief that she was real and at the tournament. With images of her on Centre Court or enjoying a Pimm's, even Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant was taken in. The 27-year-old was at Wimbledon but discovered the account he had liked was a fake one and quickly deleted all of his interactions with it. The online comments by Zelu, who embodied the quintessential Wimbledon look of summery dresses and golden tan, reflect the language used by actual Instagram influencers. In one she asks her followers: 'Which Wimbledon match was your fave?' Despite not actually being at the tournament, Zelu also remarked: 'Still not over the event... but the party's a whole other game.' Her creators, who remain anonymous, explain in a profile that she is an 'AI storyteller', adding she has a sister called 'Ana' with 266,000 followers on her account. Despite the clear indication that the account is not that of a real person, Zelu's followers still send her messages – including proposals of marriage.
