0:00:19 > 0:00:21This story belongs to Cadia
0:00:21 > 0:00:23and her Great-Uncle Nino.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30It's a tiny tale about Uncle Nino's life
0:00:30 > 0:00:33and the things he used to do when he was young
0:00:33 > 0:00:38and what life was like growing up in the family ice cream business.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now it's time for Uncle Nino to share his memories
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and take Cadia on a journey of discovery.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Cadia and her Uncle Nino live by the sea in Northern Ireland.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Cadia loves to play shops.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Uncle Nino, do you want to play shops with me?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Yes, I'll play shops with you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Am I buying or selling? - Buying. I'm the shopkeeper.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- What are you selling? - Lots of different stuff.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26You're not selling ice cream like the rest of our family?
0:01:26 > 0:01:32For over 100 years, Uncle Nino's family have been making ice cream.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34That's a long time!
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I'll show you something. You see this dish? Your great-grandfather
0:01:38 > 0:01:41used to use this when he had his ice cream shop.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43It's very pretty.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And that special family dish
0:01:45 > 0:01:48has been used to eat all different sorts of flavours.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Yummy!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And they talk some more about long ago.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Let's find out more.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Uncle Nino's family came from Italy,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09but moved to Northern Ireland where he was born.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12My mother and father were born in Italy.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14He married my mother and they both came over
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and settled in Portstewart.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22They bought this cafe from a great uncle called the Cafe Lido.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25We had a hundred years of making ice cream.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Their ice cream is so tasty that it's won lots of special awards.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42When Uncle Nino was a boy,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45he went with his little brother Corado to Italy
0:02:45 > 0:02:47to live with their grandmother
0:02:47 > 0:02:49so they could learn to speak Italian.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Then they came home to work in the family's ice cream shop.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56And here's Uncle Nino when he opened his very own ice cream shop.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Doesn't he look happy?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Cadia has lots to learn from her Uncle Nino
0:03:06 > 0:03:09about making the family ice cream.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Uncle Nino's going to make some homemade ice cream.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Would you like to help me? - Yes, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:26- The first ingredient we're putting in here is milk. OK?- Uh-huh.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Keep going.- Cadia is learning how to make the family ice cream recipe.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Good.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36There are lots of different ingredients in their recipe,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39including eggs, milk and sugar.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's going to take about six hours to cool down.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47We've time to go and play golf. Would you like to do that?
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Yes, please.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Ice cream takes a long time to get really cold,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59so Uncle Nino and Cadia have plenty of time to play golf.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Cadia is getting top tips from her Uncle Nino.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12You've played a very good shot!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Good effort, Cadia. But watch this.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Now it's Uncle Nino's turn.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26OK. That's a bit wide.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Hang on a minute!
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Unbelievable! Uncle Nino gets a hole-in-one!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now, back to their homemade ice cream.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Uncle Nino is using a special machine to help mix it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It looks lovely. It's ready.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- It does. - Are you looking forward to it?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Yes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01It's a bit soft but it'll be still nice anyway.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Are you ready to taste this? - Yes, please.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- All right, there you are. - Thank you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Tell me what you think?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11It's good!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- You like it?- Yeah.- Good.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Cadia's not the only one who loves ice cream.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Ice cream has been a tasty treat for a very long time.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And not just on holiday.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Any time of year is good for ice cream.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47We can't get enough of it.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Uncle Nino is taking Cadia to visit the family's ice cream factory.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Here they make lots of ice cream to sell in their shops.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15And Uncle Nino has a special family test in store for Cadia.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19When my parents used to make ice cream many years ago,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23they only made one flavour and that was vanilla.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26We have the same recipe after all these years,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29but we have 40 other flavours.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34There are so many to choose from. Just look at those!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And don't forget the chocolate sauce!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43And, of course, good old vanilla.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I have three mystery flavours...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48and I want you to tell me what they are.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- This is the first one. - DRUM ROLL
0:06:51 > 0:06:53You can do it, Cadia.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Strawberry?- Very good!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Good answer, Cadia!
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Now, Cadia, taste the second one. - DRUM ROLL
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Banana?- That's very good. - Wahey!- My favourite.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10This is a very strange one here.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Smell that one. - DRUM ROLL
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Bubblegum? - Bubblegum! That's excellent!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Three out of three!- Thank you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Tell me now, what's your favourite flavour?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Chocolate!- Of course.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Top marks for Cadia!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Now she's ready to make some family ice cream.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37But what flavour will she choose?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Lots of people in Cadia's family make ice cream,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46including her Uncle Naldo.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54They use the same family recipe from years gone by,
0:07:54 > 0:08:01but big machines do all the work now like stirring, heating and cooling.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04And then the ice cream comes flowing out of the pipe
0:08:04 > 0:08:07into the containers ready to be eaten.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Doesn't that look good?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12This is the machine where we freeze the finished ice cream.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15And today, Cadia, we are going to make your own special flavour.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- What's your favourite? - Chocolate!- Hey!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21First, Cadia carries out a taste test.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Will it be chocolate curls?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- What do you think of that?- Good.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Or chocolate beans?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Will we add those into your ice cream?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Yes, please. - Of course, she wants both.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37And in goes the ice cream mixture.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Now it's time for the machine to do its work.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48And some chocolate curls.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53And there's only one thing left to do, Cadia.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Press go.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57MACHINERY CHURNS
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Here it is, Cadia's very own chocolate ice cream.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08That looks delicious!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Would you like to try the ice cream? - Yes, please.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18And what do you think?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Really good.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27So Cadia has now designed her own ice cream,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29but what should she do with it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Here's an idea.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Cadia, how would you like to design your own ice cream sundae
0:09:44 > 0:09:47so that we can sell it in the shop?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- What do you think, Uncle Nino? - Yes, please.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52What about using the flavour
0:09:52 > 0:09:55that you made in the factory this morning?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58And we'll put it in my dad's old silver dish.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00That's a great idea!
0:10:00 > 0:10:03This is the very special silver ice cream dish
0:10:03 > 0:10:06that's been used by Cadia's family for years and years!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I'm going to put this piece of chocolate in.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Good. Good girl. What else do you want to put in it?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I'm going to put more chocolate beans in.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Cadia can't get enough of them!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- That's lovely.- Thank you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And tell me, what else would you like to put in it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Can I have some chocolate sauce, please?- Of course you can. Lovely!
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Ah! Yum, yummy!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I'm going to put this decoration in.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Good.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That'll be the finishing touch.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57And now I'm going to put a spoon in to eat it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- And you're going to taste it? - I'm going to taste it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'll do the same.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Oh!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yummy, yum!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18What an amazing ice cream sundae.
0:11:18 > 0:11:24And now, Uncle Nino is going to let Cadia help him in the ice cream shop.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Hello.- Hello. - Could I have one scoop, please?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yes. - Of...Cadia's Surprise.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Of course.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Cadia is scooping the ice cream she made at the factory.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47And scooping can be a tricky business.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- There you go. - Thank you. How much is that, please?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- 80p, please.- There you are. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Bye-bye.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Well done. Now you can run a business.- Yay!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Great job selling your own ice cream, Cadia.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16And Uncle Nino is very impressed too.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Thank you, Uncle Nino, for letting me work in a real ice cream shop.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- Oh, I enjoyed it. Did you?- Yes.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Cadia found out so much from her Uncle Nino.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39She not only made ice cream at home, she designed her own flavour.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41It's good!
0:12:41 > 0:12:46She got to see how ice cream is made in a big factory,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49designed her own ice cream sundae
0:12:49 > 0:12:53and even got to sell it in a real cafe.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Thank you for designing a new flavour and making a sundae.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Maybe later on when you grow up,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03you'll come and work in one of our family shops.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- I would love that.- So would I.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20What a fabulous heap of fun!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23That was Cadia and her Uncle Nino's
0:13:23 > 0:13:27tiny tale about the things Uncle Nino used to do when he was young
0:13:27 > 0:13:31and why he has an old silver ice cream dish.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Now that Uncle Nino has shared his story with Cadia,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38it's time for Cadia to start her own story.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Do you know someone who has a story to share?
