Beezers

Nestled on the tight corner of Main St. & E. Main St. in Northborough, Beezers (not possessive) is essentially a snack bar on a parking lot adjacent to a small grassy area with a half dozen picnic tables. Traditional Banana Split: $5.50.


The guy making my banana split was kind enough to let me take his picture. Please note the unique banana orientation. The sliced side is facing out! So, does that make this an inverted banana split?


Strawberry ice cream with strawberry topping, vanilla ice cream with peanut butter topping, chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and sprinkles. All but the peanut butter is standard equipment. I could have done without the sprinkles. This sundae was far from gut-busting. I think this ice cream must be very aerated. It disappeared very quickly and easily.


Overall, this was a pretty mediocre banana split. The flavors were a little flat; the quantity was modest. Maybe I should have tried the seafood.

Kimball Farm

First stop, Kimball Farm. Here, one can play miniature golf, ride bumper boats, and even pet a goat. I just came to eat ice cream. Banana Split: $5.70.

Three softball-sized scoops, three toppings, and the option of whipped cream and nuts. I opted for strawberry with strawberry topping, chocolate almond with marshmallow topping, and Grape Nut ice cream with Reese's peanut butter topping. This thing must have weighed 12 lbs.


At the first bite, the classic flavors kick started dopamine production. I knew a return visit to Kimball Farm was in the future. The Grape Nut ice cream was uniquely delicious without being weird. I'm glad I chose the peanut butter topping. Bananas and peanut butter have a magical relationship.


Alas, defeat. Dropping tempuratures and my bloated gut teamed up against me.
