Considering the brand&#8217;s propensity for wacky, experimental flavors, including Kraft Macaroni &#038; Cheese and Pizza, we shouldn&#8217;t be surprised. Of all possible unconventional savory pairings for ice cream, why not choose mustard? Why not mustard that tastes so good, gentlemen request it from neighboring vehicles?<\/p>\n<p>You may have a lot of answers to that question that you will share in the comments IN ALL CAPS, but I love mustard. I sometimes eat certain foods solely so they can serve as vehicles for mustard. Ice cream isn&#8217;t one of them, so the prospect of mustardy ice cream left me curious and considerably trepid. For the sake of adventure and sharing my experience with you, dear readers, I&#8217;m willing to put my money where my mouth is.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vlgreyppic2.jpeg?resize=500%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Van Leeuwen Grey Poupon Ice Cream Top\" title=\"vlgreyppic2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My mouth, overall, was not displeased with the purchase. The French ice cream base does not taste like mustard, but rather rich vanilla. The flavor is simple but very high quality: delicious, rich, and creamy. (According to the container, French ice cream contains double the egg yolks than standard ice cream, which contribute to its richness.)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vlgreyppic3.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Van Leeuwen Grey Poupon Ice Cream Pretzel\" title=\"vlgreyppic3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pieces of thin pretzel sticks are generously spread throughout the base. They add a hint of saltiness, but their texture is lacking. The ultra-creamy base begs for a crunchy element, but the pretzels range from soft to soggy.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vlgreyppic4.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Van Leeuwen Grey Poupon Ice Cream Swirl\" title=\"vlgreyppic4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At this point, I wondered if the product WAS a belated April Fools&#8217; joke, but then I hit the bright yellow swirl running throughout the base. Mustard time. However, this swirl, which has the consistency of very loose caramel, does not share the vinegary, spicy pungency of Dijon mustard. The flavor is much more consistent with honey mustard. Honey is listed as an ingredient, which is likely lending that sweetness to the swirl&#8217;s notable mustardy tang.<\/p>\n<p>The honey mustard flavor is prominent in some pockets of the pint. The thinner ribbons are more subtle; they offer just a bit of bright flavor and acidity to cut the rich base. Together, all components of the ice cream give a French- fries-and-milkshake vibe, if the French fries were replaced by pretzels lightly seasoned with honey mustard powder. The flavor is certainly unusual, and while I wouldn&#8217;t want a cone full of it, I don&#8217;t regret buying it.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vlgreyppic5.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Van Leeuwen Grey Poupon Ice Cream with the Mustard\" title=\"vlgreyppic5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Van Leeuwen&#8217;s latest creation may not inspire this devout mustard-lover to ask the ice cream truck: &#8220;Do you have any Grey Poupon?&#8221; But its adventurous blur of sweet and savory defies expectations, resulting in a surprising, interesting dessert experience.
