I’m not British, but to me the perfect combination of food items is fish and chips.  You’ve got fish, so it’s healthy, but you’ve also got batter and fries on the side, so it’s also delicious.  (Yes, I know fish and chips is completely unhealthy, just leave me to my happy lie.)  I’m in favor of fish and chips pretty much all the time; however, I’m not sure I can get behind fish and chips ice cream.  That seems like it’s going a step too far, even for a country with James Bond ice pops.

The unusual desert is the brainchild of Lancashire ice cream maker Frederick’s Dairies, who are pushing the flavor out in time for the World Cup.  The weird frozen treat involves cod-flavored ice cream coated with vanilla and pepper batter.  It is accompanied by Maris Piper potato ice cream chips, and there’s salt and vinegar on the side.  There’s even included lemon wedges!

It sounds like the perfect remake of fish and chips, but I just can’t get over the idea of fish-flavored ice cream.  Unless, of course, the ice cream comes wrapped in an old newspaper, with a side of porter.  Still, I’d be willing to give it a shot, if someone can figure out how to ship ice cream across the Atlantic.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
