Whoever said you can’t eat ice cream all day long? Our love for ice cream always pushes us to try to incorporate the sweet taste into each of our daily meals. And chef Heston Blumenthal has made it easier for ice cream fans to do so, with the announcement of his newest wacky creation – ice cream meat pie – to be featured at his upcoming restaurant in London. It is not yet known whether the pie will be stuffed with creamy ice cream along with chunks of hearty meat, or filled with velvety meat-flavored ice cream. In this case, we’re not sure which would be better.
Known for his dishes that sound more like kitchen disasters, Blumenthal has earned rave reviews for his playful recipes. His creations allow ice cream lovers to enjoy the treat the entire day. Ice cream fans can have smoked bacon and egg ice cream for breakfast (pictured), which is served with caramelized French toast, a sweet and sour tomato and red pepper jam, and a rich caramel sauce. Crab risotto with crab ice cream makes a light lunch choice. And finally, a filling ice cream meat pie for dinner.
These unusual concoctions make us wonder: Would you try Blumenthal’s dishes in order to get your ice cream fix all day? If not, what ice cream creations would you make for each meal?

It’s said that the higher-than-average incidence of gloomy weather in Seattle, Washington creates a higher-than-average incidence of gloomy residents. Sure, you can blame it on the rain, but you can also blame it on the fact that ice cream trucks are illegal in Seattle.
That’s right.

Seriously, who doesn’t love Moose Tracks ice cream? It won the 2009 Turkey Hill Ultimate Flavor Tournament, so we’re guessing just about everyone has a soft spot for the flavor that packs more peanut butter cups per scoop than any other flavor out there.
Of course,
