Ice ice baby!

Ok, this is not about crochet... This is a cry for help...

HELP!

Help me please! I need an Ice-shaver

Ok, this could be an emergency... well it is in fact because it's steamlike hot here, and the summer hasn't begun yet!

I just want to buy a plain old ice-shaver, the kind of thing my mother uses in the west indies, my problem is I can't find one in France...

at all

I already tried to buy one in the US but the shipment cost was prohibitive. Thanks God the guys in Hawaii where kind enough to ask me if I really wanted the item despite the sipping cost, because silly me didn't check the shipment cost before placing the order (duh!).

So I thought I had better chances finding a cheap one at a cheap shipment cost

... in Spain. So I dove into the Spanish Web...

But my Spanish is rotten!

So here's where you come and rescue me, dear Spanish speaking reader : how do you say "ice-shaver" in Spanish?

I tried GRANIZADOR, GRANIZADORA, TRITURADORA DE HIELO, but those are huge machines used by either the fishing industry or large restaurants.

I just want a tiny ice-shaver to make me some freezing ice cones

Would you help me?

please? Por favor!

Good luck finding this, I looked alittle bit here (Minnesota, USA) but nothing, maybe you could take a hammer and smash a bunch of ice in a baggie, put it in a cup, then pour on some flavored juice. We make "brandy slushes" which is crushed ice and brandy, great summer drink!

Thank you Pam, I'll need luck! The truth is I already crush ice in a plastic bag with a hammer on my kitchen floor, the problem is : 1 - I live in an appartment, I don't want my neighbours to start hating me! 2 - My consuption of slushes (we call them SINOBOL which is an alteration of the English snow ball) is increasing regularly, I need a way to produce more!!! 3 - as my consuption of slushes is increasing, my neighbours are already starting to hate me... Ok, I'm kidding, number 3 is not a concern... not yet :p
