When working in Yokosuka, Japan, our team would stop at the ice cream shop near our hotel on the way home from work. We were there for two weeks, and every day I was tempted to try the spinach ice cream. Finally, on our last day there, I had it - soft-serve spinach ice cream. It looked like pistachio. It didn’t taste like spinach. It didn’t taste like ice cream. It tasted like dumpster drainaige smells. But dammit, I tried it. I couldn’t have left Japan without trying it. ---

None of the flavors in the Jones Soda holiday boxes taste any good. I had hope for the cranberry, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. No dice, they all tasted nasty. The brussels sprout soda is in a league of its own, though. It smells like a fucking dumpster. ---

Any meat combined with chocolate is horrid. I would say any meat combined with peanuts is horrid, too, if not for Kung Pao, which manages to make the peanuts tolerable (though I wish there was a non-peanut variant). ---

You can get Kung Pao made with cashews. Mole is delicious, and that’s basically meat and chocolate. ---

Cocoa & chili powders are good in [barbecue](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6302906&postcount=6), too.
