Definitively not for the budget conscious.  boston: The scoop on rising food costs - Darcy Hutchinson savored her single scoop of mango ice cream on a recent afternoon at Toscanini’s, a gourmet ice cream shop famous for ingenious flavors. The treat cost $4.25 - up 40 cents from March - but the 27-year-old Tufts veterinary school student said she has grown accustomed to high prices. HIGH RES
