Fries dipped in ice cream. It sounds like a weird combination of flavours — hot fries and cold ice cream — but I know more than one person who does it. In fact, I had a childhood friend who would always insist on getting a small pack of fries alongside her ice cream cone or sundae.
Apparently, she's not alone — and as one colleague put it, most of us have probably tried it before. Well, you'll no longer have to order two separate items from the menu just to fuse them together.
Burger King has introduced a new menu item called "Mashed Up Fries", which essentially is an ice cream sundae with chocolate fudge loaded with fries. A curious name though, given the lack of mention in its name about the ice cream element.
Fries are added to the base of the sundae cup before it is filled with the usual soft-serve ice cream and chocolate fudge. Additional fries are garnished on top for good measure.
And since it's going at $2.90 per cup, there are definitely some savings there if you are looking to just get some fries to go alongside your ice cream sundae.
A netizen spotted the item at Burger King's IMM outlet and according to 8 Days, it's been available at all Burger King outlets since Dec 4 while stocks last.
I have an overactive parathyroid, that causes my body to overproduce calcium. My calcium levels are high every time I have bloodwork. Years ago they put me on calcium supplements, but I ended up having to stop taking them once they discovered the problem. I like fries, but rarely have them. And I like ice cream, but wouldn’t like them together. When we were kids, we used to peel potatoes, put salt on them, and eat them raw.
Never knew what that was until I went to Canada years ago to visit newly found cousins. I don't care for the cheese curds on them. I usually only have fries when I make a hot turkey sandwich with turkey gravy, or fry a hamburger and put beef gravy with mushrooms over all of it.
Still good eats
