Weird Food

I've often thought that garlic ice cream would be good. There's something about the bite of the garlic with sweetness of the ice cream that sounds interesting. However, since coming back from China, ice cream has been less interesting to me--along with ice water, ice cream is just too cold, and it doesn't give me an overwhelming feeling of bliss, like it used to.

A while ago, I heard about a chocolate bar flavor on NPR. I saw it, and, I must admit, made an impulse buy at the checkout of World Market. I tried it a little apprehensively, but it turned out to be just wonderful. It was on clearance, so I suppose other customers don't listen to NPR and/or aren't as brave.


If you've tried Mayan cocoa or brownies, with cayenne and cinnamon, you might understand the concept behind curry and chocolate. The curry is milder than the cayenne, though, and hits a little lower on the palate. The coconut gives a nice texture. One small piece is satisfying, so the bar has lasted me this whole week, and I still have 1/4 left.

What weird foods or combinations strike your fancy?
