a twist in the tale / car workshop / shaved ice dessert ??

0Hello there, ^ ^02br
02br
00I ran into those phrases and am curious what those things mean.02br
02br
00I have some guesses for each but am not sure they are right.02br
02br
00So, would anyone help me to understand them?02br
02br
00Here are my guesses.02br
02br
001. a twist in the tale:02br
02br
00A tale is slightly distorted or has a different story from the original over the years.02br
02br
002. car workshop02br
02br
00Is this a place to sell cars or a place to fix them?02br
02br
003. shaved ice dessert02br
02br
00From the pictures on websites, it looks like some ice creams that people can eat with some flat stick or spoon(?).02br
02br
00Am I right?02br
02br
00I wonder what the meaning of "shaved" is in this context.02br
02br
00Some picture shows an ice cream of cone type which I guess has no need to use stick or spoon. So... I am confused.02br
02br
00Thanks a lot for helping me in advance! *^^*02br
