They put strawberries into strawberry ice cream, so I wonder if they will be putting things like tomatoes, and onions, and deviled eggs into mayo ice cream?

t’s probably not even the weirdest ice cream flavor out there. There is squid ink ice cream (Travel & Leisure dubbed it “surprisingly delicious”). A Delaware ice cream shop sells ghost pepper ice cream, and you have to sign a waiver before you can eat it. You’ll find lobster ice cream in Maine, and Cheetos-inspired soft-serve in New York. An Irish ice cream shop made ketchup-flavored ice cream as some kind of weird tribute to the singer Ed Sheeran. Foie gras ice cream has popped up in a number of fancy restaurants. And let us not forget the scandal that was breast milk ice cream, also from a British company.
So, by comparison, mayo ice cream seems relatively bland. And it shouldn’t be too big of a surprise that in the escalating arms race within the world of weird ice cream flavors, mayonnaise would eventually get its turn. Especially in the United Kingdom: They really love their mayo over there. The condiment outsells ketchup. There’s also salad cream, which is a slightly thinner and less eggy version of mayonnaise, and is a traditional bottled condiment in Great Britain. And, potentially, the next big frozen treat.
Semi-savory ice creams can be great — ever tried olive oil ice cream? — and here, the context is everything. If it had been called aioli ice cream, and presented as part of a 17-course tasting menu at a molecular gastronomy restaurant, the chef would probably be praised for his creativity. Instead, it’s gone viral on Twitter with a picture of a squeeze bottle of Hellmann’s plunked in there, which is part of the reason it’s giving people such a visceral reaction.

A while back the wife and I visited the Tabasco store on Avery Island, LA. They had samples of Tabasco ice cream (they added the green Tabasco). Even the Cajun in me hesitated. Until I tried it.
D*mn, wish I could have pried the recipe from them.
Really, it was great!
But Mayonnaise ice cream?
Uh, methinks that ranks a miss.
But then again I could be very wrong.
Ice Cream? Love it!
Mayonnaise Ice Cream? No thanks!
Well, I love mayo ... AND Hellman’s really is the best. I would try it.
Not one bite? I would, loving both mayo and Hellman’s. But it would be a hard one to pull off.
“The wife?” Whose? I’ve tried garlic ice cream, really good.
Heh! I’ll never tell!
My Mom told me that when she was a girl that Mr. Hellman would come to their door selling his Mayonnaise. She lived in Astoria Queens NY, near the Steinway Piano factory. She said it was always the best.
It sounds nasty.
To quote Hank Hill, “I do not know whether to laugh or vomit.”
I love my mayo as much as anyone but I will pass.
That’s just wrong.
I like Duke’s mayo from the South. Sometimes though, on a sammich, it can be difficult to note the real differences.
Most vanilla ice cream recipes...
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Mayonnaise recipe
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups neutrally flavored oil (vegetable, canola, peanut)
So....just add some sugar, vanilla and heavy cream (now, you can remove the oil) to the mayo recipe and...voila! you have an ice cream recipe!
Blasphemy!
We visited Ruidoso, NM a few years ago & tried some habanero infused red wine. Yum! I’ve been adding habanero powder to our homebrew ever since.
A few centuries back, Mexicans discovered Mayonnaise and fell in love with it. But they could not produce enough in Mexico, so they ordered a ship load from Europe.
When the ship was sailing through the Bermuda Triangle, it mysteriously began sinking. The captain of ship sent a message to buyers in Mexico using Morse code...”Sinko De Mayo”. Now it is a national hoilday in Mexico.

Things seem to be getting weirder and stupider in our country everyday. Next they’ll come out with a Susi ice cream.
Susi, I guess that would be bearded calm flavor.
