with temperatures reaching 90 degrees and lots of humidity thrown in yesterday, the popsicles from people’s pops were the perfect antidote to the heat — if only for a few minutes.  the latest flavors this weekend included the roasted apricot and lavender (pictured above) which was super pulpy and refreshing.  they also had blackberry and cantelope which sounded great (and i liked the two-toned look).  lemon basil shaved ice as was also available.

people’s pops had one other more oddball flavor that i wasn’t as interested in but maybe if you’re one of those people who like sweet corn and tuna pizza (a big craze among the english) this might be  the thing.  this was the cornsickle with blackberry, peach, corn and cream.  it all sounds good but the corn.

the idea behind people’s pops is to use  the freshest, local ingredients to put together some very excellent icy treats.  some other flavor combinations they have had this summer include watermelon and mint, sour cherry and yellow plum, sweet blueberry and cardomon and roasted peaches and organic cream.  this list is pretty amazing and i have been wanting to try them forever.  however, people’s pops currently only sells its treats at the brooklyn flea which means it is not quite as easy for me to hop over and grab the latest flavor.   and if you do make the trek, don’t come late.  people’s pops tends to sell out, especially on these hot days toward the middle of the afternoon which i sadly learned last weekend when k and i made our way over there.

if i could get these treats more readily nearby and during the week, i am sure i would stock up but for now it’s eat them when you get them, and eat fast before they melt or someone else eats them for you.  people’s pops:  at the brooklyn flea: saturday’s in fort greene, 176 lafayette between clermont and vanderbilt avenues; and sunday’s in dumbo under the brooklyn bridge at 22 water street, brooklyn, new york. follow them on for up-to-date details.
