July 28, 20187 yr A hipster replacement for Syrup of Ipecac? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/voraciously/wp/2018/07/27/yes-hellmanns-has-frozen-over-mayonnaise-ice-cream-is-here/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.b989eeafc5bf Spoiler No one is “meh” on mayonnaise, the most contentious condiment. You either want it glopped all over your potato salad, spread on your sandwich bread, put in your coleslaw and lobster rolls and deviled eggs and everything else, or you want to invent a time machine so you can go back to 1756 to thwart the chef of the Duke de Richelieu, who was said to have invented the sauce in his boss’s honor that year. If you fall into the former camp: Good news! There is mayonnaise-flavored ice cream now. If you fall into the latter camp: I wish you the best of luck carrying on with your life knowing that you live in a world where there is mayo-flavored ice cream.

It’s known for other wacky flavors, including Monster Energy Drink and Strongbow cider. And, no surprise, it has inspired strong reactions. Sooz@CruisinSoozan An ice cream shop in Scotland is making mayonnaise ice cream? Jesus Christ, this is Jurassic Park all over again.

There is squid ink ice cream(Travel & Leisure dubbed it “surprisingly delicious”). A Delaware ice cream shop sells ghost pepper ice cream, and you have to sign a waiver before you can eat it. You’ll find lobster ice cream in Maine, and Cheetos-inspired soft-serve in New York. An Irish ice cream shop made ketchup-flavored ice cream as some kind of weird tribute to the singer Ed Sheeran. Foie gras ice cream has popped up in a number of fancy restaurants. And let us not forget the scandal that was breast milk ice cream, also from a British company. (What are they doing over there?) So, by comparison, mayo ice cream seems relatively bland. And it shouldn’t be too big of a surprise that in the escalating arms race within the world of weird ice cream flavors, mayonnaise would eventually get its turn. Especially in the United Kingdom: They really love their mayo over there. The condiment outsells ketchup. There’s also salad cream, which is a slightly thinner and less eggy version of mayonnaise, and is a traditional bottled condiment in Great Britain. And, potentially, the next big frozen treat. What’s next: Beans on toast ice cream? Blood sausage ice cream? HP Sauce ice cream? But this is a glass house at which we, the nation that invented the KFC Double Down, should not throw stones. Besides, it’s probably not as bad as it sounds. Semi-savory ice creams can be great — ever tried olive oil ice cream? — and here, the context is everything. If it had been called aioli ice cream, and presented as part of a 17-course tasting menu at a molecular gastronomy restaurant, the chef would probably be praised for his creativity. Instead, it’s gone viral on Twitter with a picture of a squeeze bottle of Hellmann’s plunked in there, which is part of the reason it’s giving people such a visceral reaction. The shop’s owner, Kyle Gentleman, told the “Today” show that the flavor is a “full-on hit of fat and cream followed with an eggy, milky aftertaste.” We’re guessing it’s probably a semisweet, neutral cream flavor. So, don’t be too grossed out. Until they mix it with the ketchup ice cream and add some pickle relish and call it Thousand Island ice cream. Edited July 28, 20187 yr by clapclapclap
July 28, 20187 yr I love mayo, but that sounds fucking horrendous. Of course, I had sour cream ice cream at a long-gone place in Houston that was called Gravitas, IIRC, and it was amazing. So...who knows.
July 28, 20187 yr Let me know when Duke's starts making mayonnaise ice cream. Until then, suck it Hellmans!
July 28, 20187 yr Why does bad food always come from the midwest or that part of the world? It's kind of like fucked up.crimes and Florida.

July 30, 20187 yr That sounds disgusting. I definitely will NOT be trying that ice cream. Edited July 30, 20187 yr by Longboard Horn
July 30, 20187 yr Mayo has a lot of little known uses to add flavor to foods. This is not one of them.

Sometimes it's those more adventurous flavors that are really great. Matcha green tea, purple sweet potato, sakura cherry blossom, rose, lavender, pumpkin, adzuki sweet red bean ....
September 24, 20187 yr Sticking this here, to bring life to the mayo ice cream thread... (mayo ice cream with green egg & ham, yes I would try that)...

October 7, 20187 yr It might look like Vic’s womens’ snatch but I’m almost positive they wouldn’t taste the same.
October 8, 20187 yr I was in Mexico recently and had queso ice cream. Not bad. It would be my preferred method of committing suicide I guess. Edited October 8, 20187 yr by BottleRocket
