So, I tend to hoard candy, as I have probably mentioned before. Thus, I have eaten very little of my Christmas candy. Today, I pulled it out and looked at and found a little tin that said Zombie Mints. I love mints, so I had one.

I wish, before I had done so, that I had noticed the smaller writing that said "brain flavor". Because they are. And, not being a zombie, I am not actually that into brain-flavored candy. Especially when I am expecting mint.

The tin's cute, though.




ETA - To clarify: I have never actually eaten brains and thus don't actually know what they taste like. But the mints taste unpleasantly meaty in a way that I don't immediately recognize as belonging to a meat-product I'm familiar with. And which is also wholly inappropriate for candy.

Have to ask, what is the approximate flavor of brains? Does it taste like chicken per chance?

[darchildre]

To be entirely honest, candy brains taste a bit like wet dogfood smells. If that's a helpful answer. Not much like chicken, no.

That doesn't sound even remotely tasty. D:

For the record, the brains that I've tasted (beef, I think, from back in the day before Mad Cow got to be a big thing) generally taste like really, really rich pate that's been . . . . whipped until fluffy? I think it's the ridiculous cholesterol content without muscle tone.

Meat-flavored mints, though. D:

Yeah, I have no real problem with the idea of eating brains as such. But meat-flavored candy is strange and off-putting.
