Sweet Survival


Recently I have been obsessed with the thought of delicious foods made from surprising things. Im not sure if it has something to do with exposure to ingredients in the UK that I am not terribly familiar with or not. My latest idea has been sustaining the smells and tastes of events that make people happy (like Christmas) into unusual food combinations.

I give you: Christmas Pine Ice Cream!

Im not sure where I came up with this. Something about wanting the smell of Christmas when it is hot out in the summer. I cant find any recipe anywhere online for it, which I like. I figure if I get some pine needles or resin I can make this fairly easily.

On a side note, while searching for all things pine I came across this website which gives useful survival tips, including making pine needle tea if you are lost in the forest to stave off scurvy. Who knew?
