The Internet functions as a veritable breeding grounds for food debates, few of which was have been more heated than the disdain people had for a new mayonnaise-flavored ice cream.
The debacle began when a Scottish ice cream parlor debuted the condiment-flavored sweet treat on their Instagram along with the caption, “Who knows a mayo addict?” According to a Today interview with Kyle Gentleman, the owner of the Falkirk, Scotland -based ice cream parlor ICE that came up with the idea for this mayonnaise flavor, the ice cream is a “full on hit of fat and cream followed with an eggy milky aftertaste.”
If it ain’t Duke’s Mayonnaise ice cream, it ain’t fit to eat.
(I remember a convert to Duke’s here on IOTWReport a year or so ago). I’m a Miracle Whip guy myself, but I don’t have any desire to “experience” Miracle Whip flavored ice cream.
Sounds like it would be perfect for ice cream sandwiches.
It has “Jeb!” written all over it. Sprinkle with taco seasoning for a “Marco.”
Mayo is nasty as mayo, why would I want it as ice cream?
I be loving mayo on burgers, BLT’s, potato salad, anything with Velveeta on it, and sometimes fries —- but not on my sundae!
Yeeech.
Can we expect ketchup and mustard any time soon?
Of all the posts that need that black and white pic of the little grossed out girl, this is it.
Mayonnaise ice cream doesn’t sound all that appealing, but I’d give it a try. It might be a nice dessert after a peanut butter, dill pickle, Camembert, and ketchup sandwich.
(No, I’ve never had such a sandwich, nor will I ever. There are some things even I wouldn’t eat!)
TP – – just put ketchup and mustard on top of your vanilla ice cream. Yum!
Mayo ice cream doesn’t sound “right”, but I’d be willing to give it a try……once. I might be pleasantly surprised.
“It’ll Pickle Yer innards”
Just the thing to go with dill pickles? MY oldest daughter thinks mayo is from the devil, she hates the stuff. But she also puts ketchup on her eggs. I like Nalley’s reduced fat olive oil mayo and occasionally Miracle Whip. And using mayo instead of butter makes for great grilled cheese sandwiches.
I know more people who hate mayo than like it.
It’s not food; it’s a condiment, unless you have a little cheeseburger, relish and ketchup IC to go on the side….
A friend of mine mixed balsamic vinegar with a homemade strawberry sorbet.
It was FANTASTIC!
Bet it has danged soy or canola crap oil in it.
Sorry, but if it had mayo or mustard l just won’t eat it
@ Bubba – Yeah I would, if it were Hellmans based…only and not Miracle Whip never heard off Dukes? Where can I give it a try?
@ CC – mayo is EGG based so that makes it a food.
@ Vietvet – one step at a time!
Fave sammich of alll time…ham and swiss on seeded rye mayo both sides…heavy on the mayo btw…
I use real Mayonnaise on sammies, egg salad, tuna salad and potato salad, not much else. I don’t trust fake mayo.
Mayo ice cream does not sound appealing to me. (Neither does guacamole ice cream.)
Try drizzling some pancake syrup or coffee liqueur over vanilla ice cream.
GROSS!. I like black licorice and I bought a licorice ice cream cone. I couldn’t finish it and threw it away. Some “flavors” just don’t work as ice cream.
I remember seeing dill pickle ice cream years ago and black licorice ice cream at a Baskin Robbins near Hec. Edmundson Pavilion on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle in the early 70’s. Didn’t really particularly care for either.
