Was it good?
Salty liquorice ice cream, probably.
It’s not a weird taste to me but I’d imagine the vast majority of non-Finnish people would absolutely hate it.
Love that shit! But I’m finish-adjacent. Sweden.
There is an ice cream company in the state of Montana, USA, that has liquorice ice cream. I don’t remember if it was salty but it had food coloring that made things interesting…
Wilcoxson’s! They have all sorts of interesting flavors, love their stuff!
That’s the one!
I once met a Finnish and he gave me something like (salty?) liqorice candy. It was basically black jelly, shaped like small hockey puck. Pretty good.
Did it get stuck to your teeth when you tried biting it? May have been a Merkkari
It is possible. It’s been some time, though, so can’t be 100% sure.
Does it taste like actual licorice or store brand licorice ?
I don’t know what the difference is. Liquorice and salty liquorice are similar but separate products.

I had that Kraft Mac and Cheese ice cream. It was very strange. It was also better tasting than it had any right to be.
That being said… I don’t want any more of it.
I used to work in a bar. Somebody ordered a Malibu (coconut liqueur) with tonic water. I tasted some out of curiosity. It was weird, but not in a good way.
I didn’t actually try an of these. Found them in a random store near the beach in Florida
What a convenient time to share this…
i’ve had the pickle flavored soda. it’s exactly like you expect and nothing more. sweet, fizzy pickle juice
Mmm, Barf soda sounds so tempting… :-D
I once had a burger stuffed with crushed Oreos and topped with frosting. That specific combo wasn’t exactly good, though I did finish it. The sweetness kinda worked, but it was way too much.
Ever since then though I’ve been meaning to make something more toned-down, maybe a burger with a honey glaze or something cause I think that’d turn out really good.
I remember seeing on a food show years ago a burger with a doughnut as a bun. I’ve never tasted one but I thought to myself that might actually work.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Burger
A Luther Burger, or doughnut burger (among several naming variations), is a hamburger or cheeseburger with one or more glazed doughnuts in place of the bun. These burgers have a disputed origin, and tend to run between approximately 800 and 1,500 calories (3,300 and 6,300 kJ).
I saw a recipe on.Bon Appetit for an orange juice and coffee drink, my initial impression was “no way” but I modified it a little and really liked it.
Cold brew, fresh squeezed orange juice, and Topo Chico fizzy water, poured over ice.
I also like the salad that is fennel, oranges and olives and onions, and also the Mexican fruit salad that’s pineapple, mango, jicama, onion, with citrus juice dressing and cotija sharp crumbled cheese.
I think that’s it for combinations that sound awful to me but taste good to me.
I believe there’s a coffee and campari drink that’s similar
Grilled cheese and tomato soup flavored cheese curls. It was pretty spot on.
those sound highly addictive.
Not so weird to me or most Cubans, but prolly to the rest of the world: malta with a spoonful or two of sweetened and condensed milk. Pour the malta into a glass, then add the milk and stir until evenly mixed. Drink. If you’re not used to the flavor of malta, this combo may be too much to start off with.
pictures for reference
I like the taste of Malta fine but I find it super sweet. I imagine adding sweetened condensed milk doesn’t help that at all.
Probably the garlic ice cream in garlic restaurant Balthasar in Tallinn.
8/10. Would eat again. Sadly it looks like the place closed down, probably during covid-19 :-(
I had garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. Everyone leaving the free sample line had the exact same expression on their face as they tried the first taste:
Slightly scrunched up have with an expression that said, “I was really expecting this to be horrible but it’s not bad. Not great, but not bad.”
Garlic ice cream?
Just recently: Dunkin Spiked Coffee
I love coffee, so I had high hopes for this being really good. It tasted like someone mixed sugar, red wine, and coffee. Horrible. Tangy. Oddly sweet. Just weird. I can’t imagine a boardroom of people at Dunkin tasted this crap and said “ship it!”
A few years ago Brachs candy I think it was made Thanksgiving dinner flavored Candy Corn. They had turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, greenbean, apple pie, and gravy candy corns mixed in a bag. The cranberry apple pie were great but the stuffing tasted like vomit. Everything else was just meh. I never bought a bag again.
A lot of the recent Coca-Cola flavors like the space one have been weird as fuck and sit in a vague middle point between “okay” and “absolutely disgusting.” And I mean that in a way that has you questioning whether it’s alright or gross.
They taste like coke mixed with perfume. Just because something smells good, doesn’t mean it will taste good.
Don’t tell that to the AirUp people; it’s their entire business model!
Thing with the weirdest flavor, or flavor of the weirdest thing?
Thing with the weirdest flavor: Durian. Fucking gross. Ate it by accident (was in a dish I ordered). It tasted exactly like papaya or mango soaked in mop bucket water for 2 days.
Flavor of the weirdest thing: Probably Escargot. That was garlic and snail flavored.
I love escargot. It may be one of my favorite things.
I’d eat it again. It was good. Just weird.
