Forums → The Tavern → [necro] MBFF - Most Bizarre Food Flavors - 2013 Edition!
| 1287 | 979317 |
Since the popular thread from 2011 has gone to hell with outdated images, false page redirections and 4 blank pages of deleted posts, I think it's time to start anew for the 2012 community.
I'll start out by posting some strange (but real) sodas I found on Google. You can be the ones to determine whether or not you'd ever try any of them.
The label on the last one is real, but the flavor is fake. You'll have to learn the Jones way of doing things.
Chips are another favorite when it comes to bizarre flavors.
^ Those BLT chips are actually not too bad.
And, of course, the Canadian classic...
If you know of any strange flavors or you just happen to find some online, post them here. Pictures are always appreciated.

So I went to the local aquarium and saw something that absolutely blew my mind.
It's called the Grilled Cheese Donut. It's grilled cheese with donut glazing on it. They even put a hole in the middle of the sandwich to resemble a grilled cheese. My mom and me even tried it. It did not disappoint me, though my mom found it a little different.
Also, I know this isn't really bizarre as it's known throughout the galaxy, but am I the only one that thinks carrot cake is weird:
It's cake... made with carrots. Think about that.
Speaking of jelly beans, how about giving Santa a change in flavor:
Apparently there are quite a few different Oreo flavors out there, many of which I have never even heard of.
Find me the fruit punch one and I'll contribute to your campaign when you run for president.
One of them came with 4 vomit flavoured beans that I'll have to try and choke down.
You'd rather do that than palm them off on your neighbors?
You have much to learn about the teachings of Bertie Bott.
Have any of you guys ever tried their Bean Boozled jelly beans?
@Xzeno left us with an unforgettable quote atthe top of page 23.
Oh man those jellybeans are scary! Of all the trap flavors, though, I'd say black is the most dangerous: It seems like a safe enough normal flavor, but if you're unlucky, you might accidentally get licorice.
As for my feelings, I summed them up the best I could on page 101.
But seriously, I wouldn't try any of those, because half of the "good" flavors are almost as bad as the bad ones. Licorice, buttered popcorn, top banana, and caramel corn are all not worth the risk, and I'm not really optimistic about coconut or cafe latte either. That leaves four flavors that are actually worth biting into, and by that point, you've spent about $5 on 10 jelly beans.
At least they've replaced two of the least desirable regular flavors, licorice and top banana, with some flavors actually worth shooting for. Stinky socks would be worth risking for tutti frutti, and lawn clippings don't even sound all that bad as a flavor.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat some grass.
I hated brussel sprouts, but now I think I have to try these.
If you like Brussels sprouts wrapped in bacon, you may also enjoy water chestnuts prepared the same way.
If you like crunchy bacon and are looking for ways to multiply the crunch factor, that would be the way to do it.
I have no clue what this is, but WOW
Luckily for you, I do. They're called Elvis Donuts. If you ever want to make them, here is a recipe. It's an unusual variant of the traditional Elvis donut, as unlike the one you posted, this recipe mixes the bananas into the donut instead of slicing it up and placing it on top.
I wonder what red cream tastes like.
I remember the yellow cream at the center of spring Oreos had a noticeable difference in flavor from the traditional white cream, so it's quite possible that red will taste different as well.
Candy cane Oreos surfaced a couple years back.
Peppermint wouldn't be my favorite thing to put between two chocolate Oreo cookies, but it's more exciting (and far less lazy) than just dying regular Oreo cream red.
However, I don't think that even bacon can make asparagus taste good.
Bacon could make celery taste good if it wanted to.
And it does want to. Along with broccoli.
And we would be silly to leave out the world's favorite vegetable, eggplant.
So you don't even need to make dessert on Thanksgiving if you buy both flavors.
I don't anyway.
Ernie and I are both from the west coast, I believe, so we have access to hundreds of Japanese restaurants, but you may not have that geographical advantage, so unagi might not be as easy to come by.
If I may also add, some places that serve unagi do not de-bone it first, so there's that risk as well. Eels have quite a few tiny, sharp bones that are not in the least bit fun to swallow.
But you should be fine if you order it as sushi and not as a main dish.
If only there were a Coke or Pepsi flavor.
Apparently cola jelly beans do exist, but not under the Jelly Belly brand.
They have them in stock for only one British pound per 100g.
So I went to the local aquarium and saw something that absolutely blew my mind.
You must have gone to Tom + Chee, or a place that used their idea. They have an entire list of grilled cheese donut variants.
Even so, the Luther Burger still tops it by adding a hamburger patty.
Not to be confused with this burger, which uses ramen noodles as buns and apparently a fried egg as well:
am I the only one that thinks carrot cake is weird:
It would be weirder if it actually tasted like carrots. It's as weird as eating a pumpkin pie, which usually doesn't taste anything like a pumpkin.
But that could arguably be the weirdest part.
Speaking of jelly beans, how about giving Santa a change in flavor:
Here's a larger image:
If it were jellybean juice, I would buy a lifetime supply of it, but something about combining jellybeans doesn't sit well with me. It is truly bizarre that anyone would buy something like that, even if they enjoyed drinking milk.
However, if you ever do find yourself wondering what it tastes like, but you don't want to seek out this unusual flavor, apparently it's sweetened with monk fruit juice. I'll leave it to you to figure out if that's less difficult to find than Prairie Farms jellybean milk.
I'm just going to say it now, apologies for the small images. I don't have any kind of way to make them bigger.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat some grass.
Then how about some Easter grass?
I think I showed it before but I'm way too lazy to check.
@ Everything wrapped in bacon
Well since we're talking about bacon let me show you something I found interesting.
Introducing bacon wrapped cherries. I wonder how good this will taste.
You must have gone to Tom + Chee, or a place that used their idea.
Yeah it was Tom + Chee. I just couldn't remember their name at the time.
Not to be confused with this burger, which uses ramen noodles
That makes me want this ravioli burger.
I wonder if it actually tastes like ravioli.
It's as weird as eating a pumpkin pie, which usually doesn't taste anything like a pumpkin.
I'm guessing a pumpkin cake wouldn't taste any different. Unless you added chocolate in the mix.
And how about some carrot pie topped with pecans?
Makes me want dessert but not this Lucky Popcorn Cake
so you not only contributed to the Buzzfeed article, they credited you in it!
That's even more of a reason to keep this thread running.
Can you tell me how you milk a jellybean? =O
Perhaps it's a special type of cow.
Who likes Chilli Flavoured Ice Cream?
I'm trying to think of a smart pun for ice cream being chilly. Just imagine I said a funny pun.
This is Irn-Bru. I don't know what flavour it is and neither does Wikipedia.
Anyone like gyros? How about french fries? Now you never have to choose.
One more reason to visit San Francisco.
But number 23, Gourmet Foie Gras gum, had a link underneath it that says Via armorgames.com and takes you directly to page 59 where you first posted it... so you not only contributed to the Buzzfeed article, they credited you in it!
I had always wondered what kind of an impact this thread had on the bizarre food community. Between us, random internet articles, and the "real" Andrew Zimmern, it's a small community with a growing following, so it was only a matter of time before this thread was noticed by another site. I didn't expect one of them to credit the thread, though.
Can you tell me how you milk a jellybean? =O
Not on this site, no.
Who likes Chilli Flavoured Ice Cream?
Does it make your mouth feel hot and cold at the same time? If it does, it should be called Katy Perry ice cream.
Then how about some Easter grass?
Most of the green ones are green apple, which isn't a bad flavor, but it doesn't compare to Bertie Bott's grass-flavored jellybean. If they could make edible grass-flavored grass, now that would be a great Easter.
Introducing bacon wrapped cherries. I wonder how good this will taste.
There are pages of recipes for it. Not what I would have expected for fruit wrapped in meat. Some variants also include honey and brown sugar. I need to find a plate of these.
Some of you may also enjoy a bacon-wrapped grilled cheese roll.
That makes me want this ravioli burger.
You should have gone to a Slater's 50/50 restaurant in Southern California in September, when the fried ravioli burger was their burger of the month.
If that isn't bizarre enough, it's one of Slater's 50/50 burgers, which is 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon.
And if that still doesn't do it for you, you can look at some of Slater's other burger creations.
100% Ground Bacon Burger.
Turducken Burger.
Kangaroo Burger.
Do I wish I lived in Southern California? Yes.
I'm trying to think of a smart pun for ice cream being chilly. Just imagine I said a funny pun.
"All ice cream is chilly, flavored ice cream."
There's your pun. Now drink this ranch dressing soda.
This is Irn-Bru. I don't know what flavour it is and neither does Wikipedia.
The general consensus is that it's citrus-flavored, like standard Mountain Dew. Some people also say it tastes like bubblegum.
How did we as a society come to accept this soda that resembles nuclear waste as normal?
The corn chips are at least natural-looking. As natural as corn chips can look.
Only available in Japan.
What better to top chili ice cream with than some hot chili hot fudge sauce, eh @akshobhya? =)
@ Bacon-wrapped cherries
Now, cherries are one of my favorite fruits, and bacon is, well, bacon, so this is an ambrosial arrangement... if the cherries are pitted first! If they're not, you'll be spitting seeds while you're trying to chew the bacon!
@ Chocolate pumpkin cake
Another combination that can't go wrong! While it doesn't seem bizarre with the whole pumpkin spice craze happening, I have some new ideas for this Thanksgiving!
@ Irn-Bru
It looks like regular orange soda, and it probably tastes like it... but with a name like that, I can't imagine it tasting like anything other than a chain link fence!
But the more I look at it, the more resemblance I see to molten iron...
I can't tell them apart either! =P
Now what flavor these are, you tell me...
@California gyro
French fries AND pita bread in one bite? Starch overload! Starch overload! Tell those San Franciscans to throw some tomatoes in there or we don't have a deal!
@Ranch soda
Best when mixed with...
...or...
Hey, someone beat me to the second one!
=D
Apologies for the small images.
Last week was July 4th and do you know what food goes hand in hand with America? Hot dogs. Specifically, the Red White and Blue dog.
What is that, colored onions? Sauerkraut? I don't know, I only eat my hot dogs with ketchup and mustard.
This is Irn-Bru. I don't know what flavour it is and neither does Wikipedia.
It's supposed to be pronounced, Iron Brew. So judging from the name alone, it must be some kind of soda extracted from the juices of metal. Mmmm, metal juice.
And now I just noticed @Skeleton_Pilot mentioned that before I did.
*deleted some spam*
You wouldn't dare delete this spam would you?
Sorry, sorry. I saw the opportunity and I took it.
Anyone like gyros?
No not really. Although that maybe because the ones I've seen, at Greek festivals, usually have tomatoes. Maybe if you remove the onions on those gyros, I'd be more enthusiastic to eat it.
This gyro pie looks good as well.
Most of the green ones are green apple, which isn't a bad flavor
Really? The one's I've had, green, pink, and blue, had barely any taste. I'll have to try to look for those.
Some of you may also enjoy a bacon-wrapped grilled cheese roll.
Those look great, I'd definitely make those if I had any sense of cooking.
And these bacon-wrapped scalops make me wish I had a sense of fishing.
I really want to try sea food.
Now drink this ranch dressing soda.
Saw the thumbnails of videos titled "Ranch Dressing Soda Challenge." So no thank you.
How did we as a society come to accept this soda that resembles nuclear waste as normal?
Another question is when did we decide to sell nuclear waste as candy.
I'd imagine these are just like Warheads... oh gawd please no more...
The corn chips are at least natural-looking. As natural as corn chips can look.
Couldn't find any chips, but I did find some cola hard candy.
What better to top chili ice cream with than some hot chili hot fudge sauce
It could also go well with chocolate pasta if you're in for something spicy.
Now what flavor these are, you tell me...
Growing adolescent, airplane peanuts, and gas leak.
@ All-American Hot dog
The blue stuff is probably just blue ketchup... but combined with the onions, it looks like mold! Welcome to America, here's your moldy hot dog! =P
@ Gyro pie
This needs to be re-marketed as the "yro" so that people who love it can call themselves pyromaniacs! =D
@ Cola candy
But how does it compare to Haribo Happy Cola?
I've never tasted the Japanese hard candy, but I already know the answer: it doesn't compare!
@ Chocolate pasta
I can see it now... spicy double chocolate spaghetti. But which chain restaurant will pick this million-dollar idea up first?
@ Not Your Grandma's Fruitcake
It looks a bit like a fruitcake... but from the description, it sounds more like a Moon Pie with gummies on it and no chocolate.
Who likes kimchi? Let me rephrase the question, who likes kimchi enough to drink it?
Did anyone keep their hand up for both questions?
Now, cherries are one of my favorite fruits, and bacon is, well, bacon, so this is an ambrosial arrangement... if the cherries are pitted first! If they're not, you'll be spitting seeds while you're trying to chew the bacon!
Pit the cherries, fill them with chocolate, wrap them in bacon, and have fun trying to get people to leave your house.
It's supposed to be pronounced, Iron Brew. So judging from the name alone, it must be some kind of soda extracted from the juices of metal.
It's actually formed when iron becomes oxidized in the presence of moisture. Water and sugar are the main ingredients. A common term for the other main ingredient is "rust".
That's what it looks like in its "raw" form, before it's harvested for Scottish drinking pleasure.
And these bacon-wrapped scalops make me wish I had a sense of fishing.
Buying them from the store might be easier, and you're more likely to find bacon there than in a lake or an ocean.
Of course, there's always the chance that, while fishing, you'll come across this fish...
So by all means, catch it if you do. Scallops are nothing compared to this.
I know what you must be thinking, and yes, it also exists in stores in sliced packaged form.
Another question is when did we decide to sell nuclear waste as candy.
The government decided it was the best way to dispose of it and control the population at the same time. They don't talk much about the kids who developed superpowers.
I can see it now... spicy double chocolate spaghetti. But which chain restaurant will pick this million-dollar idea up first?
Do you even need to ask? Chili's.
Moon Pie
You know what those taste like?
But deep fried...
These kids perfectly describe what it tastes like.
