Ever wondered what baked bean ice cream tastes like?

[Robert59]

Londoners basking under Britain's hottest ever summer are getting the chance to find out, and sample a range of other flavours more readily associated with savoury winter dishes - including porridge oats and HP sauce.

No, I never did. But I imagine it's quite interesting. If I could taste a sample, I would but wouldn't buy it until I try it. A couple of years ago, Atlantic City, N.J. had a bacon week. They had bacon flavored everything you can imagine. I wasn't there and even if I was, since I don't eat pork or anything processed with pork I wouldn't have tried it.

I've wondered about the state of the world, the economy, when this heatwave will let up, if I'll be up to my a** in snow this winter, if I should buy a new car, if we'll be forever contending with COVID and its endless mutations, if I'll ever be able to shake hands with someone again (let alone anything else), and WTH is up with funky monkeypox but, no, I've never wondered about baked bean ice cream. I like baked beans, so I'd be willing to take a bite or possibly two and see if it was or . How would I know I didn't like it unless I tried it? How bad can it be?

Not until you mentioned it. Eating something frozen that should be eaten hot doesn't appeal to me at all.

Same here!

Probably like molasses. I used to watch my grandma making baked beans when I was a kid. I'll bet it tastes ok.

 

[Paco Dennis]

NO! It sounds gross!

In Gilroy. CA the have the garlic festival ever year and someone sells garlic ice cream. Sounds just as bad.

5 or 10 thousand years from now. a group archeologist, specializing in the 21st Century will unearth the recipe for bake bean ice cream, they'll promptly burn it.

I went once, it was a lot of fun, and a lot of garlic. My favorite product was the garlic mouthwash, to "take that hint of Scope off your breath".

 

[Georgiagranny]

Actually, no. I haven't ever wondered what it would taste like. Don't think I want to taste it.

Not pickle ice cream, either. I did see pickle-flavored cotton candy in a store yesterday and wasn't moved to try it.

 

[RadishRose]

It never occurred to me. I would taste it even tho' I'm not wild about baked beans.

I have heard of Parmigiano Reggiano Ice Cream and would love to try it!

Plain old chocolate and vanilla work for me.

Remember the old expression "gilding the lily?" Why take something already tastes wonderful and keep trying to "improve" it?

 

[Geezer Garage]

I suppose beans, and franks ice cream would be the kissing cousin of cookies, and cream. As far as food goes, I'll try anything once.

Garlic everything at that place.
The things they come up with.

Do they still have the garlic festival?
It was so hot the last time I was there, which was a very long time ago.

Can't say as I have

Guess it'll remain a mystery
Right up there with dog vomit on toast

The 'if you haven't tried it, don't knock it' saying never really made sense to me

 

[helenbacque]

Probably be OK with enough chocolate syrup.

 

[Chet]

I would try it topped with ketchup.

I had some sort of green-tea-and-bean ice cream at a Chinese restaurant in EPCOT once. It wasn't repulsive but I haven't had the urge to order it again. Biting down on the mushy beans was the worst part.

Now, bacon ice cream was a lot better. Nice combination of the creamy sweet ice cream and little chunks of salty bacon. I went back for a second sample.

 

[Knight]

Why limit the flavor to only Navy Beans<---most commonly used for baked beans? Or even to only ice cream? Experiment with sherbet & sorbet

Other beans that could be used.

Black Beans
Black-Eyed Peas
Cannellini Beans
Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
Great Northern Beans
Kidney Beans
Lima Beans
Pinto Beans
Fava Beans
Adzuki Beans
Edamame
Mung Beans
Soybeans
Cranberry Beans

But to answer the question. No. I'm good with the usual flavors.

Would that be wheat, rye or sourdough? Buttered or plain?

Ever wondered what baked bean ice cream tastes like?

No, but the garlic ice cream and mouth wash from the Gilroy Garlic Festival sounds appealing.

 

[RadishRose]

Cannellini Beans

yes!

 

[Mr. Ed]

When I put the bean ice cream in the oven, it melts
