Has a food injustice occurred?

I love food. Always game for trying new things and supporting chefs creating ways to remake classics, I’d like to think of myself as a little bit of a foodie. However, I think I just discovered a hard line for me that makes me want to scream, “Oh hell no.” What could it be? Mac and cheese ice cream.

That’s right! Recently, Van Leeuwen released Kraft Macaroni & Cheese flavored ice cream and for a limited time.

I can only assume that after reading that, you are either surprised, in disbelief or excited. Me? I have to say that I’m skeptical at best.

What’s next? Cheeseburger birthday cakes? Sushi-stuffed french toast? I let the creation of the cronut slide, but this ice cream flavor makes me cringe.
