We recently brought to your attention Nike's chicken and waffle sneakers that are basically the illest homage to one of our all time favorite brunch dishes. And now, we have a new innovative take on fried chicken to share with you. Get this, fried chicken-flavored ice cream.
That's right. Fried. Chicken. Ice. Cream. Just let that sink in.
We're not sure whether to laugh or cry or race to the nearest place selling this wild food mashup but we're definitely interested.
According to Rocket News 24, this sweet and savory treat was developed as a dessert option for the Karaage festival in Japan. For those of you not familiar with Karaage it's essentially Japanese style fried chicken which means it must be exponentially better than our fried chicken because the brilliant nation that invented sushi can probably do no wrong.
The photo that advertises the ice cream apparently translates to "Karaage ice cream?! You've got to take on this challenge!" This of course makes us a little skeptical because eating food that is a "challenge" is generally a sign that things can get real ugly, real fast.
We admire the Japanese spirit of always having cuisine that keeps people their toes (like these marshmallow omelets or these coca-cola-flavored hot dogs) but since we won't be making it out to Japan any time soon, we guess we'll just get to have to sit this one out.
In the meantime, if you're like us and you suddenly feel the need to chow down on some good old fashioned fried chicken you can get a bomb fried chicken sandwich at one of these restaurants or make your own delish version.
