After seeing the Pea one, I want to see the team either make or try an entire Sunday roast dinner in ice cream form - that is: a Sunday Sundae.

Mike absolutely killed this one. You should do badges for this because he would absolutely smoke the competition.

Ben called pea before the pea icecream and got the sweet chili icecream 🍦

Makes me realize how impressive Mike's Poker face performances have been. His palette is so fine that I'm shocked his body didn't just shut down the moment he tasted surströmming.

[@benjaminbessemer6472]

I will say one thing for definite for this video. Mike has one hell of a palate especially with the last one. Being blindfolded and getting Cheese and Pickle is quite a marvel to be seen. From knowledge having a great palate is a key thing for a chef to have.

[@orlaporlypuddinnpie]

He got the most right in the flavour identification task for the chef challenge too!

[@s30123]

Love how Mike "the normal" is like bread! All I taste is bread ! And he's correct while ben the chef drones on about the allotment in May and gets it wrong 😅

[@grabble7605]

"From knowledge having a great palate is a key thing for a chef to have." ...Yeah no shit. That's not "from knowledge". It's the most basic fucking obvious thing. And it was hardly a marvel. He tasted pickle and cheese in something made of pickle and cheese.

[@bodyofhope]

​@grabble7605 when food is frozen, it's much more difficult for us to taste. Furthermore, when we add cream, the flavor is drowned out that much more. If you've ever watched gourmet ice cream making, they have to make their ice cream base flavor 10x more intense bc of what freezing and dairy do to muddle the flavors.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

GUYS! Please make the normals have a battle with the weirdest of these ice creams! Them having to create a dessert from this!

[@theantina9]

based off of your suggestions- rolled ice cream way, they have to make the weirdest ice cream flavor that still tastes good, AND THEN part 2 of the challenge is to create a dessert out of the ice cream that was made. The catch: the normals don't know there was a part 2 of the challenge.

[@leighloebig5580]

Mike is definitely a super taster. He can taste more flavours than the average person. This explains his aversion to strong cheeses, red wine and such. I'm sure it's both a gift and a curse!

[@indescribbles]

As a child i used to eat frozen peas as a sweet frozen treat during hot Australian summers - i can totally see a reason for the pea sorbet!

[@fosterec1]

Frozen peas straight from the bag were a definite snack as a kid in summer (American). I still eat a few frozen peas each time I make anything with them!

[@Darby0642]

My daughter had a bowl of frozen peas with her dinner last night and it wasn’t even hot in Toowoomba 🤣

[@neutraltral8757]

I also appreciated how pumped he got when finding out he was spot on with his guesses (@13:47 and 16:16). That's similar to how I react to their "Guess the Country of Origin" videos on the rare occasion that I guess one correctly. 😅

[@mariannegrochol8384]

Loved the Mike/Ben pairing for this. Mike really is on his game when it comes to tastings - I like that he happy & excited in this type of format and not stressed out as in the cooking segments.

[@kirstenbarbera9672]

I agree! I think Ben and Mike were perfect for this. So enthusiastic about it but also really serious about figuring it out. I also died when they brought out the pea ice cream immediately after Ben had guessed pea 😂

[@FredericKoe]

I am from Munich. In Munich, Germany is a special parlour with uniquely weird flavours. It's called "the crazy ice-maker" (Der verrückte Eismacher). If you are interested in exploring more really special and weird flavour combinations I would really recommend that :)

[@SortedFood]

That's super interesting! What's been your favourite flavour that they've sold so far?

[@FredericKoe]

I have only tried a few. :) But I would say the weirdest one would be beer-flavour :D I don't even know most of the flavours because they change it regularly and there are just too many :D

[@isabellab3926]

It's really close to the university and I liked to have ice cream for lunch sometimes - like pumpkin or peppers with lemon or gorgonzola cheese. But their "normal" flavors like Kinder surprise egg, strawberry-basil, Apfelstrudel, Lindt Lindor,... are great too.

[@DrummerCocktail]

I tried "Fischstäbchen" so basically fish fingers there once... Can't say it was my favourite. But I loved the Rum and Coke ice cream ❤

[@RenderSM]

Is there a garlic ice cream? I'd love to try that...

I love how confused they are when they start out - the tapping to find the ice cream, asking if they're working together or competing, the excitement on their face when they realize they're gonna get to taste 6 ice creams - adorable. Ben and Mike really went on a journey here didn't they - Mike looking traumatized when Ben brought up the duck choc ice cream; Mike getting excited while talking about crumpets; Ben's disappointment with the pea ice cream; Mike laughing at the thought of some one bringing an ice cream scoop back to the office; Ben constantly being so methodical every time he's tapping to look for the bowl; Mike being excited when he realized what the flavour was; Mike being ecstatic about his guess being right; talk about an emotional roller-coaster. This looks like one of those videos where everyone bts would've been cracking up cuz the guys are blindfolded and have no idea what's coming next!

[@_nquisitor_]

Mike’s utter delight at getting the last one was adorable! 😊 His palate was on point.

[@Getpojke]

I bought a new ice-cream machine at the beginning of the year & have been experimenting. My biggest success was turning Ottolenghi's beetroot za'atar with goats-cheese & hazelnuts dip into an ice-cream. It's great with a salad & pea-shoots on a hot summers day. You should try carrot & caraway seed too. Cooling, earth & sweet. Pea ice-cream is also nice with a salad. Brown-bread ice-cream has long been a favourite of mine, especially with a tart raspberry or gooseberry coulis drizzled on top. First time I had it was on a glorious hot day as a now defunct herb farm in the Carse of Gowrie. Going back in time there is a famous ice-cream shop in St. Andrews. I was there with my grandfather as a wee bairn, he said I could have a double scoop! I chose the liquorice for one side & an Italian tangerine sorbet for the other. The colours were fantastic in the bright sunlight & the combination of flavours was utterly fantastic. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

[@maylloyd3348]

Well for god sake make a career out of it - these chancers charge £15 for a tub, £3.50 for a scoop, so you're quids in!

[@Getpojke]

@@maylloyd3348 HOW MUCH! Haha, I'd be run out of the village by folks with pitchforks & burning torches if I ever tried that.

[@meepkitty8390]

Old Bay Caramel - Old Bay is a spice made in MD in the US and is often used for steamed crabs and other seafood. Adding it to deep rich caramel really makes the flavors stand out!

[@Princessperlers]

The shop is now closed. This was a summer project for the shop. Just a heads up if anyone wanted to go buy/try some

I would love for someone to produce a blue cheese ice cream! You could serve it with a pear/apple tart or poached pears. Cheese and pickle ice cream sounds AMAZING!!

[@amicban]

Now for the follow-up video of getting the chefs to make dishes that compliment well with the ice cream! I'd love to see how creatively culinary they can get with such unique ice creams :)

[@seriliaykilel]

You should have corn icecream - it's a staple in local places in PR and it's delicious. Or an ice cream version of Mori Soñando (popular dominican drink that makes for an every more delicious icecream - kind of like dulce de leche with orange).

[@qriusjorj38]

The first one reminds me of soy sauce caramel I used to make. I always considered it a big upgrade from salted caramel. I always wanted to see if I could crystallize it to be able to use it for creme brulee topping!

[@patriciagerresheim2500]

This reminds me of some of the unusual flavors the folks at Lofty Pursuits come up with for the hard candies they make on vintage candy-making machines. Examples include dill pickle, roast turkey, stuffing, sweet potato, and many more. They have a lot of videos on KZbin for anyone who wants to check them out.

[@MazzyJC]

I love sweet Chilli sauce and cream cheese. The Sweet Chilli icecream might be nice with a cone made from salted corn chips or just use corn chips as an eatable spoon.

[@talonsblade1758]

I have been having fun trying the VanLeeuwen ice cream here in the US. The most recent flavor i have had was Malted milkshake with french fries. Other past flavors i have had was Pizza, hot honey, mac and cheese, and many more.

[@madebywera5048]

We have in Kraków an icecream brand called GoodLood. They did for Easter 2 classic flavours: Majonez Kielecki (brand of very popular in Poland mayo) and fresh dill flavour. Both ingredients are necessary in your kitchen during Easter in Poland. The icecream versions were definietly on the novelty side, but I must admit I went to have both. Dill was good but the mayo was just plain weird :D Awesome to see you guys testing the big brand flavours! 🙂

[@Panzersoldat]

Haha I absolutely love how proud Mike was with his spot on taste buds! I really enjoy when you guys team up and try to solve/create together.

[@ian3314]

This was soo fun! Thank you. I really think Ben's got the blindfold thing down with the tapping to not put your hand in the dish. Am also super impressed with Mikes palate. Great video everyone.

[@maromania7]

Idk about the UK, but here in the USA its pretty common practice to dip your fries (chips) in a milkshake (usually vanilla). Gives a wonderful sweet to the salty, the cold and hot and crunchy and smooth playing nicely. I imagine that ketchup ice cream would do very well with that!

[@violetskies14]

Some people do do that but only with the American fast food style of fry (we call the little thin ones fries and to us fries are that one specific kind of chip and chips is the word for the category of food, same with biscuits and cookies) not a British chip which are thicker and more similar to what you might call a steak fry. And I do agree it's really nice when it's good fries and a nice vanilla milkshake but I'm still dubious about the ketchup ice cream.

[@fobtai91]

Seeing Mike’s face after he correctly guessed the last one made my day! He was so over the moon about it! Such a great job this round! ❤

Such a shame they closed the original shop but the King's Cross one is well worth a visit (or many).

On savoury ice cream flavours: try to get kuromitsu sauce (in japanese specialty stores) over vanilla bean (island creamery), letting it soften not fresh from the deep freeze = better than salted caramel goodness.

Better than sucre-grain de sel (de la mer), Super super.
