Cabernet Flavored Ice Cream Popsicle
Chinese convenience stores are full of frozen treats. Some are full of chocolatey deliciousness, while others seem odd and down right disgusting to my western taste buds. I've seen pea flavored popsicles and cucumber ice cream. I've had ice cream pops that have the flavor and consistency of butter and once I had one with a flavor that can only be described as dirt. Every time I look through the freezer near the checkout stand at my local shop, its like a frozen snack adventure. So obviously I was excited when I found this cabernet wine flavored ice cream treat.
My Chinese isn't so good (its basically nonexistent), so I wasn't sure what to expect. I assumed it would just be a popsicle that tasted like wine. Turns out, not so much. The ice cream on the outside has a chocolatey, corky flavor with a chocolate coated cap on top. After the first bite I thought "maybe that's it, maybe it's just cabernet wine cork flavored ice cream." Then I bit into the goo. The goo actually tasted exactly like red wine, but with a thick, mayonaisey texture. I couldn't finish the whole thing, it was just too weird.
Next time I'll just go for the chocolate one.
