The controversial concoction sprouted up on the menu an Aberdeen ice cream parlour
A Scottish eatery is serving up ice cream made with SPROUTS in the run up to Christmas.
The controversial concoction, flavored with peppermint, is being served up at ice cream parlour Mackie's 19.2 in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Every serving is topped with a frozen Brussels sprout, and is comes in a bright cabbage green colour.
The ice cream itself is made with real sprouts and a peppermint oil.
Just as it always has at the dinner table, manager of the parlour, Yvette Harrison, expects sprouts to divide opinion among ice cream lovers now too.
She said: "It's not quite one of your five-a-day but it's the dream ice cream for brave sprout lovers.
"We've even had some customers saying that it would go really well with bacon.
"We always try to get something on the menu that's a bit more experimental.
"We love playing with flavour and we thought that for a one-off Christmas special, sprout ice cream would be a fun option."
Pauline MacLeod, new product development technologist, said: "We tried and tested a few different recipes before we developed this one - we tried cooked sprouts, raw sprouts and pur ed sprouts.
The flavour is, as you'd expect, very sprout-y - but with mint through it.
"It's a natural flavour and it has been made using real ingredients.
"We're really happy with the end result."

As someone who actually likes Brussel Sprouts... The thought of eating Brussel Sprout Ice Cream, doesn't sound appealing to me at all... And then to add peppermint flavoring to it?... No Thanks...
For people who hate Brussel Sprouts, such as My Mom, I can only imagine that they would be throwing up, after just one bite! LOL!
I really want to know, what makes people think, that "Brussel Sprouts" would be a great flavor for Ice Cream... I just can't comprehend ideas like that... It's like something out of Bizarro World!
