The Old Fashioned Way
Thursday - September 18 - 08:37 PM Filed in: Panama
As you walk around Casco Viejo chances are you will eventually see one of these guys, usually under a shade tree in one of the plazas. They make snow cones the old fashioned way - from a big (but getting smaller) block of ice they purchased at the start of the day. We normally get cherry (rojo) with the “works”.
Ice with cherry syrup, cream, honey and malt - at least that’s what we think is going onto the ice that he shaves using his “special snow cone plane”. It hits the spot and tastes good - 50¢ for us, Wags gets his “hielo solo” (plain) for a bargain 25¢.

Take care.
