There's this Chinese buffet that has a good selection of food at a very good price. Their normal classic regional fare is good and above par for many restaurants in comparison with any within hours of distance.
But they have a self serve ice cream section that I by fate was destined to try. Being previously a simple and tame selection that I rarely added to my meal I expected a conclusion to a normal meal. This led me to first try a brown colored tub with thought in mind that I was getting chocolate. To my dismay it was not chocolate but a random flavor that I have mentally blocked which also included caramel chunks, not small chunks but large frozen inedible pieces that required diligence to sit and wait for them to dissolve. The flavor was not chocolate...it was NOT chocolate. Frankly I wouldn't have allowed them to melt had I been anything but frankly shocked at the shift from the norm but it was too jarring to do much, if any, thinking. I didn't know that flavors like this were even accidentally made, much less on the market.
In doubt of the possibility of that fiasco happening again, I then turned to the white tub. What I would have believed to be a standard vanilla, being the safe bet, proved exceedingly wrong. It was a perverse form of lemon flavor that should never have graced the earth and I expect would burst into flaming evil when brought near any church.
Feeling dismayed and hoping for the evil playout of Hogwart's version of ice cream seemingly produced by the same people responsible for vomit flavored jelly beans, I went back to try for a final time choosing what I could only hope was something that would end this meal on a positive flavor. Sherbet, "That's what it must be," I thought. With classic colors of white, orange, and green, "what else could it be?" I was soon to find out that it was indeed a mixture of flavor..., not vanilla, orange, and lime but a cacophony of insanity. The colors had NO relation any rational mind could understand, it was if zombies had infused their aged brains together to think of the most enjoyable food possible and failed. So odd that I could find no concept or word that would encompass the feeling of distraught taste that filled my mouth and imprinted this nameless day on my memory for years to come.
Luckily I have mostly forgotten what they tasted like but the memory will probably hold true for many a year to come. That was my oddest and most unpleasant ice-cream experience. Granted, I believe it to be rather tame but it is definitely odd.
Best story yet. I'd plus rep you if I didn't -rep someone earlier.
