A few days ago, I talked to someone who had visited Yenshan, which is a town in Taiwan where they produce salt. Apparently, the salt-making facility has a gift shop, where adventurous tourists can sample salt-flavored ice cream. Kinda reminds me about one shop in Taipei somewhere, which is said to sell mustard ice cream.
By strange coincidence, the Nov 12th edition of the Taipei Times had a similar story:
Seafood ice cream an unlikely hit
All of this is a little too adventuresome for me. However, the hard-to-find buy-shan-guo (passion fruit) slurpees here are amazingly good on a hot day.
This is fascinating. Thanks so much for posting this!
