WASHINGTON — Salt & Straw is adding a sweet spin to the Thanksgiving holiday.
The ice cream company just released five Thanksgiving-themed flavors. Each one is a unique combination of sweet, savory and salty.
“We made Thanksgiving dinner into ice cream. All of it. Warm, buttery rolls. Sweet, maple-roasted squash. Savory turkey and smoky bacon. Bright, tart cranberries. Spiced pumpkin pie. Five courses, each with its own delicious reason to save room,” their website states.
Are you brave enough to gobble them up?
