Minty Weirdness


There's something quite compelling about peculiar flavour combinations. Do you remember Cherry Flavoured Coke? It was that weird a concept that everybody wanted to try it.

I'm suffering a similar fascination with Bacon Mints and Monkey Mints. Firstly let me clarify that Bacon Mints may be bacon flavoured with a hint of mint, but Monkey Mints are definitely not monkey flavoured. Relieved? Actually, they're banana flavoured. Slightly worried now?

I'm not sure who came up with the novel idea of mixing the classic flavour of mint with both bacon and banana, but I'm all for a bit of food experimentation. In the words of pretty much everyone's mum: 'How do you know you don't like it until you've tried it?'

Sound advice there.
