The creators of Strongbow Dark Fruits ice cream have released a new flavour – mayonnaise
Mayonnaise in a sandwich = good. Mayonnaise in a dessert = bad.
This is the universally accepted truth that seems to have eluded Falkirk gelateria Ice.
The Scottish shop are famed for their creation of Strongbow Dark Fruits flavoured ice cream, but may have just taken it a step too far with their latest invention.
Its a mayonnaise ice cream that seems to trick you into thinking its vanilla but, once luring you in, tastes like eggs.
They use Hellmanns in the recipe, which doesnt really carry the same cachet as it does when applied to a portion of chips.
Followers of Ice on social media has expressed their understandable outrage at the flavour, with plenty of green-faced emojis and thumbs-down gifs.
Absolute madman and Facebook commenter Lynn Roberstson took the plunge though, saying, Ok, I confess, curiosity got the better of me….and I tried it. Well you have to havent you! Its very creamy and rich. Not bad actually.

If we put it down to the base ingredients, mayonnaise is oil, egg yolks, and lemon juice or vinegar.
Separately none of them would probably make too much difference to a tub of ice cream… But together? Somehow just wrong.
Luckily Ice still have plenty of other flavours – from plain old chocolate to the slightly more adventurous Guinness.
