Mark's Notebook


	If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of him. - Thomas Carlyle

For years now, high-end restaurants have been pushing “savory” (i.e., disgusting) ice creams on us. Well, now it’s payback time.

Flavor: Chocolate Garlic
Rachel, age 8: "It tastes like poop."

Flavor: Haddock
Mason: "Frozen fish crystallizes easily, and the chunks are way too big."

Flavor: Bay Leaf
Penny, age 5: "I’m not going to taste any more."

Flavor: Lox
Alexander, age 10: "You know what this is like? Fear Factor for kids."

Flavor: Durian
Molly, age 6: "Ew. It looks like dog pee. I’m not tasting it."

Flavor: Lobster
Thelonious, age 7: "Run, before he makes us try another!"

Mark says: The Chocolate Garlic flavor was tasted at my favorite ice cream store, Marianne’s Ice Cream, Santa Cruz, California.
