Rose in BC Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Well a British Columbian micro brewery brews a raspberry beer -- Granville Island. I would have agreed with you until I tasted that beer. It's yummy. Not sweet at all. Dry and refreshing. Now I'm wondering if it's too late in the season for me to get some tomorrow :). Oh and same brewery makes a winter ale that is super yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 As far as what should not be fruit flavored: Anything with artificial banana flavoring. That is the grossest taste in the world! I agree!! I thought I must be the only one, but I see there are a few on here. I do not agree with the OP, though. Fruit salsa is yummy. I'm not much of a beer drinker (or any alcohol really), but I have tasted a fruit flavored beer (raspberry maybe? I can't remember) and it was not bad.

sewingmama Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Cream cheese should never be pink. Period. :cringe: I need to remember to put on my American reading glasses. :cringe: :D Rosie Now I'm curious...and a little afraid.:001_huh:;) To google or not, that is the question. I'll give you a hint -in Aus we use the term full stop because period means something else also pinkish but hopefully not cream cheesy :lol: Edited September 17, 2012 by sewingmama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfamilygal Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Other fruits. My food store carries "grape flavored apples," which I initially thought were some interesting hybrid or just a florid description. Nope. Just regular apples with artificial grape flavoring. NASTY!!! My Indian coworker gave me flower flavored candy. Seriously. A hard candy that tasted like roses. It was like eating old-lady hand lotion. Blech!

stripe Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I tried them once! They were thoroughly disgusting! Indian people love rose flavoring. They have this Ruh Afza drink that is a violent pink that includes roses. My grandma, who is NOT of Indian origin, has always carried around in her purse these small white violet flavored hard candies that contain a single fennel seed inside of them. They are tasty. I don't mind flower flavored things. My favorite flavoring of that more unusual sort is pandan, otherwise known as kewra or screwpine. The extracts also generally contain green coloring. It has a lovely smell, sort of like vanilla. http://beelittlefood.blogspot.com/2012/05/pandan-extract.html That makes me want to make some from scratch...and then drizzle some fresh hot fudge over the top of it Yum!

chiguirre Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I like Shiner Ruby Red beer. The slight zing the grapefruit gives it is just right for summer (even a Texas summer!) I don't know if they make mango salsa in Mexico, but I like mango with chile and lime and I think that's sort of similar. I've got to agree with the :ack2: for fruit flavored toothpaste though. That's just gross. Not even my sweet tooth kids will use it and that's the ultimate diss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candid Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I, too, am okay with fruit in salsa, but I am likely to be at odds with most people when I say chocolate should not be fruit flavored.

Candid Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I know I'm in the minority, but I can't stand fruit flavored teas (the kind you drink:)). But I LOVE mint flavored.

tabrizia Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I want to know: Do people in Mexico eat fruit flavored salsa? They must, tomatoes and a fruit after all. I love fruit salsas, they rock, pineapple, mango, peach, and watermelon all make great salsa, as done lime. Pineapple on pizza...

sweetbasil Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) :iagree: Never. Cream cheese should never be pink. Period. Blasphemy!! Here are just a few delicious things that turn cream cheese pink: Sriracha Lox Raspberry Chipotle Sauce all are truly awesome. :) And I can't believe that so many of you have heard of Grapples (much less that they're still sold)!!! I thought they were long gone. I bought a pack many years ago, thinking they were some cool new hybrid with a tart, grapey flavor. Came to find out that they were "apples" with all the texture and flavor of a grape scratch-and-sniff sticker. I was horrified that someone even created them and couldn't throw them away fast enough. YUCK. As for fruit-flavored beer, I love a slice of lemon in my wheat beer, Shiner Ruby Red is pure summer happiness, and I have no objection to a fabulous Cherry Lambic (especially when mussels are cooked in it)!

cin Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I don't care for fruit ice creams like strawberry or peach, but I know lots of people like that stuff.
