Wash it down with a Jones “Green Bean Casserole” soda, and you got yourself a fine dining experience like no other. :nauseated_face:

Right? Arguably food as activist art. Pretty cool really. I’ve been reading some deep dives on food, but it’s mainly on making it a matter of pleasure. Which is great. But based on a discussion I had this morning, I started thinking about how food could be used to augment other mediums. Consent is key, but this this is kind of inspiring if people can use food to expand their experience.

flavor of ice cream called “tear gas.”

Even better, it’s actually labeled ‘tear gas grenade.’

Right, always. It doesn’t seem like they are tricking people here, merely attempting to give them a particular experience that activists are facing.

I would certainly go for a sample, followed by scoops of chocolate and pistachio!

Subversive ice cream. I love it.

When I first saw the headline, I immediately thought “it’s durian, right? Durian has to be in there somewhere!”
But, no! and I am disappoint.

Although, culinary activism certainly sounds intriguing.
