An impressively weird dessert washes ashore in New Zealand
An ice cream shop in Auckland, New Zealand is taking the burgeoning goth dessert trend to new heights by serving a giant chocolate-dipped cone with a mantle and menacing tentacles protruding from the top of creamy sphere. The chef at Giapo Kitchen thought that this undeniably phallic treat would be a nice way to commemorate the 10th anniversary of The Colossal Squid’s arrival at the Museum of Te Papa Tongarewa. Here’s a clip of the chocolate tentacles being inserted into the cone after it’s dipped:
The squid dessert is just as spooky as the charcoal ice cream cones that started infiltrating Instagram feeds around New York and Los Angeles last year, but the New Zealand treat gets bonus creep-out points for being humongous, unwieldy, and disturbingly sexual.
These desserts are a refreshing counterpoint to the glittery, rainbow-colored theatrics of the Lisa Frankenfoods trend. Long may they reign.

That’s a creative use of cold food as a sculpture medium.
More attention getting than the standard Cow made of butter.
A little too much candy and cream for me, though. I used to eat that much ice cream at once, but not recently.
Oh, and I guess walking in public with a cone molded into that particular shape would be kind of embarrassing for me.
For others, it may be the best part about that ice cream cone. Sort of like those giant Soft Belgium Pretzels served hot and salty. If they sold a smaller ice cream cone with shapes like Micky Mouse or an Easter Bunny, I would be fine with that.
That reminds me of squid jerky, which is an abomination.
I ate a bag of it with a glass of cherry juice once.
Yeah, once because, after my wife made me sleep in the yard because of the gas eeking out of....what was this thread about?
I dunno, I only pulled over here to change my tagline.
This is too cute to eat.
I am compelled to ask...what the hell were you thinking?!?
:D
Trust me. There are worse things in life...
I will resist saying something inappropriate in response to that there post.
I agree!
What the hell were you thinking?
Everybody knows you don’t drink cherry juice with squid.
Squid is strictly a grape juice kind of food.
Go right ahead.
Y’all know I’m not a wilting flower.
:)
It looks like it should be a pendant.
“And aint chent lunar tick rains in datreez ubda knight”
Have you had a stroke?
I’d like to have that Marzipan Cthulhu redone in silver as a belt buckle.
Seriesly, WTF is that?
I will never eat again.
That too, but I’d prefer a bronze pendant.
Well, in the immortal words of Fats Waller:
"One never know, do one?"
I just finished some deep-fried baby octopus.
Greg the writer seems awfully turned on by squid
Argh.
