lemming Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I've had avocado ice cream. It was very yummy. Also had Earl Grey ice cream as well which is still one of my top ranked flavors. Tuna does sound hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbor Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore It was the most horrible thing I've ever had in my mouth. I can not even describe it. I gasp out' date=' "That wasn't guacamole!" And the girl says, "No, it's tuna with green food coloring." I hate tuna to begin with; turning it into ice cream is a new form of evil.

Matt the Bruins Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I love tuna sandwiches and raw tuna in sushi, but flavoring ice cream with it just sounds wrong. For bacon lovers, if you're ever traveling through Arkansas I would highly recommend stopping here for a meal. The Ozark Folk Center's Skillet Restaurant has far and away the best bacon I've ever tasted. Not sure what they cure it with (it's possible magic is involved).

Went to a small but high-end seafood resturant one time with about 25 of my closest friends; we literally filled the whole dining room. The chef comes out and says, "There's an army of you; each of you ordering individually would be chaos, so I'll tell you what. I'll personally prepare a big bunch of my favorite dishes and bring them out to you; you can share them, mix and match, have a bite of everything." So of course we agree! One of the dishes that comes out is this big fish steak, swimming in butter, covered in these little red and green and black peppercorns. My mouth is watering just looking at it. This looks like heaven. I take one bite, chew it briefly, then quietly spit it out into my napkin. It's tuna. It's not reconstituted tunafish that some hash-slinger spooned out of a can; this is tuna flown in fresh this morning and prepared by a master seafood chef. I decided that day that if the best tuna in the world tastes that awful to me, then tuna is simply not my thing. Now, mix that with ice cream (which even you tuna lovers are thinking sounds pretty gross), and imagine my reaction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh bunneh Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I should point out, for the record, that this place's homemade ice cream is really, REALLY good. Puts dang near any other ice cream I'd tasted to shame. It's just the "Joke of the Day" flavors that you gotta watch out for. It's called Walrus Ice Cream. If you're ever in the area, bunneh highly recommends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore The Fantasy Hero thread "teleport beacon" would get lots more traffic if it was here in NGD-land and titled "Teleport Bacon". Of course, teleporting someone's bacon away is a terrible, terrible thing that none of us would ever do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had it, or is it one of their jokes? Just in time for Easter! Choco-thulu I would totally eat a breakfast cereal named Choco-thulu. What's the prize you inside the box? INSANITY. They could have a whole series of them like those cartoon monster cereals (Count Chocula, BooBerry). My favorite would probably be The Colour Out of Space. I'm imagining wacky fruit flavors and a unique mix of food coloring...and INSANITY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Yeah, it was a bit controversial. Dad never got to try that one, poor guy. Guinness ice cream was actually a natural evolution when you consider how popular Guinness floats are. (Another one I won't go near.)

Cygnia Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I will push anything Michael Symon does to high heavens and tonight was no exception. Tonight, I got to indulge in a glorious pork belly salad as an appetizer at Lola's here in Cleveland. I may have in fact tasted something that is actually better than bacon.

Guinness ice cream was actually a natural evolution when you consider how popular Guinness floats are. (Another one I won't go near.) I would do that. Also, I used to drink Black and Tans all the time made with Guinness and Harp lager at this Irish style place here in Seattle. I didn't realize that it was essentially a British/Loyalist thing. It reminds me of a conversation I once had with someone about Bushmill's vs. Jameson's. A lot of pent up hostility was evident in that one. Anyway, the pub was nice. They even hired real Irishmen and Irishwomen to work there. They had a really sweet bar maid who was over on some kind of student or work visa. That accent gives me warm feelings in my special place. I also thought of a new flavor for my Lovecraft cereal brand: Marshmallow Mi-go. Sort of like Luck Charms, but....Oh, you get the point.
