Читать книгу Grossopedia: A Startling Collection of Repulsive Trivia You Won’t Want to Know! - Rachel Federman - Страница 18

Sometimes preferred foods alone aren’t inherently gross, but the combination of unlikely flavors is not everyone’s cup of vinegar tea. Need some unusual snack ideas?

(We found people who liked each one of the above specialized blends; though no one person could honestly say he or she liked all of them. Do you?)

How about:

• Peanut butter and mayo

• Beans and chocolate

• Pickles and peanut butter

• Popcorn and mustard

• Ketchup on pancakes

WORLD’S STRANGEST ICE CREAM FLAVORS:

• Cold sweat

• Caviar

• Spaghetti and cheese

• Lobster

• Guinness

• Horse

• Sea slug

• Bacon and egg

• Wasabi

• Avocado

(To the makers of the above concoctions—Guys, you’re kind of missing the entire point! If we wanted something that tasted like an avocado, we’d eat an avocado! Not ice cream. This reminds me of the Saturday Night Live sketch, where the actors are eating ice cream that tastes like yogurt and keep saying, “I can’t believe it’s not yogurt!” How would you sell the stuff on the list above? “I can’t believe it’s not lobster! Twice the fat! Twice the calories! And half the taste.”)

Did You Know? The Japanese eat ice cream made with squid ink. At least you know you’re getting the real thing! (Oops—cancel that. You can’t be sure you’re getting squid. Turns out the ink is sometimes extracted from its cousin the cuttlefish.)
