   Take a typical paper hot-drink cup. Add a scoop (probably the equivalent of 3-4 tsp) of sugar. Fill the cup about 1/3 to 2/5 full with chocolate chips. Fill to the brim with nice hot coffee. Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir it a little, and drink it. You get this chocolatey-coffeey taste, then you get to the inch or so of chocolate that didn't mix with the coffee, which looks horrible but which you eat with a spoon. Then, you're good to go.

   You need to bear in mind that flavours are muted at low temperatures. Mixes for sorbets and ice-creams should therefore, in their unfrozen state, taste a little too sweet, a little too sharp, and a little too fruity (if that's possible). By the same token, chocolate ice-creams should be very chocolatey and coffee ones very coffeey.

   There is good coffee available in Ireland. You can buy it in bean (or ground) form from quite a few shops in many towns and cities. But restaurants mostly buy dark roast stuff - i.e. incinerated beans of poorer quality which taste mostly of burnt, with a vaguely coffeey after taste meant to fool the throngs.
