Yes, Mayonnaise flavoured ice cream. The weird and wacky flavours don’t just stop there, of course, there are also baked beans, soy sauce, tomato ketchup and HP sauce flavours too – if you’re interested in tricking your taste buds this summer. We can’t imagine condiment-flavoured ice cream would be particularly tasty, but it would certainly be a fun experience!
