Would you be willing to try it?
When you hear the word “aphrodisiac”, we all automatically think of oysters, yeah?
It has been passed on through the years that these specific shellfish are supposed to be a major turn on, although whether that is down to the suggestiveness of the consumer (i.e. they might be an erotic placebo), or the fact that oysters are full of zinc (which has been dubbed “the ultimate sex mineral”), or if it because of some other reason, we’re not sure.
Either way, Deliveroo have teamed up with Irish ice-cream makers Scoop for a new special flavour just for Valentine’s Day, and yes, it involves oysters.
The two companies have previously teamed up and gave us prosecco-flavoured and cheese-and-onion-flavoured ice cream, but this new one really takes the shell cake.
Scoop on Aungier Street in Dublin 2 will be the only place you can get Oyster & Champagne flavoured ice-cream on Thursday 14 February, which that have called Ice Scream.
Why they didn’t call it “Oyscream”, we don’t know. It was right there!
Deliveroo’s Bobby Burns tells us a bit about the product: “This Valentine’s Day, we intend to play Cupid for those looking to embrace the holiday of love to the fullest extent. We’re very happy to work with Scoop, who share our passion for pushing boundaries with innovative and delicious treats.”
So there you have it. oyster and champagne flavoured ice-cream. What a time to be alive.
