"Snoballs" (or "snowballs") are the New Orleans version of a snowcone, but soo much better and made differently. Snoballs are made of shaved ice which results in a fluffy, fine, snow like consistency versus snowcones which are made of lumpier, crushed ice. Plum St. is supposed to be one of the best in New Orleans so I went there. Hansen's is supposed to be good as well. You can get them in a S,M,L cup or S,M,L pail like the one in the sign above that looks like a takeout box. I saw some people order the large pail, but I have no idea how you can consume that much snoball! I tried the nectarine flawor and it was delicious!! Highly recommend going there if you are in New Orleans. Here's an article with more background on snoballs.
