Irish People Try Space Food


The important part is the mint chocolate chip freeze dried ice cream. It occurred to me that I haven't seen this combination called "peppermint bon bon" lately, so I looked it up.



"Peppermint bon bon" is a Minnesota/Wisconsin thing.


Don't ask me where we got the name, maybe it was the same guy that decided that we should play "duck, duck, grey duck" instead of "duck, duck, goose."


Informal PNQ: Does your area have a local nickname for a common food that's not derived from a local brand?
