> [@AppallingGael](#): > > Truman Compote This is my favorite. It should be light and fruity but with a bit of a tangy bite. ---

I’d just go for the obvious ones where the title has the flavor in it: _Hamburger Hill_ by William Pelfrey _Green Eggs and Ham_ by Dr Seuss Steinbeck’s _The Grapes of Wrath_ or _Tortilla Flat_ _The Chocolate Wars_ by Robert Cormier _Pomegranate Soup_ by Marsha Mehran _The Apple Dumpling Gang_ by Jack M. Bickham _Fried Green Tomatoes at The Whistle Stop Cafe_ by Fannie Flagg _Playing for Pizza_ by John Grisham Salinger’s _Catcher in the Rye_ would be whiskey flavor I guess. Robert E Howard’s _Conan the Barbarian_ would come in a massive cone and of course be barbarian flavored. ---

> [@TheFatKid](#): > > There’s also The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrockcandy, but it’s too long to fit on the carton. 😉 But it’s got the perfect ad line: “Do you dare eat the peach?” How about Canter-berry Tales? Or for those with more disturbing tastes: Ham-nut. And because she’s got the most puntastic name for this: Maya Tangelo. ---
