It was my bday last week and I was desperate for a good old fashioned lemon top. Alas, even though they sell those at basically every seaside town on the coast of NE England, we apparently picked the exception.

Got this lemon swirl as a backup and it was pretty good, ngl. It was no lemon top though, I'm still a bit salty a week later.

I've never heard of a lemon top (not a Northerner, maybe its regional?), but that looks lovely! Happy birthday :-)

I grew up in a seaside town and I've never heard of a lemon top. Is it just a NE thing?

I've been informed by a southern friend that it sounds like what they call a "lemon ice". It's just ice cream with lemon sorbet on top, maybe you just call it something else?

@TeaHands @kev

As a UK resident 'Lemon Ice' to me would be a lemon flavoured Slushy. Just saying :)

Whereabouts in the UK? I'll gather data and perhaps one day make a useless map.
