I’ve discovered some new favorite foods while running this experiment. I’ve had yogurt a few times, I’ve left the tomato on my chicken sandwich twice, but nothing has left such an impression as…pumpkin pie. Holy shit is it good. Why didn’t you all let me in on the secret earlier? How many Thanksgivings have I ruined for myself?
To keep up with my, “X tastes like Y” help guide to people who are picky eaters, I’d say that pumpkin pie tastes like ginger snaps, but you put a gang of whip cream on it, and combine it with the crust, and damn is it good.
I also tried Blue Moon ice cream. Though I’ve been vaguely aware of it for years, I’ve never tried it, and I never knew that it was a regional, upper Midwest thing. The container boasts “natural flavors” but I’ve never known “blue” as a naturally occurring taste, nor have I sampled the moon, and because the label only says “natural flavors” but doesn’t actually get any more specific, I had to go to the internet machine to see what the story is. As it turns out, nobody really knows, and it’s kinda proprietary information.
In any case, Blue Moon tastes like Fruit Loops (that’s a naturally occurring thing, right?) and I like it just fine.
8 down. 44 to go.
