    Two weird/interesting food items:
    In honor of Veterans Day in the United States, the Baskin Robbins has released First Class Camouflage, made with chocolate, salty caramel and cake-flavored ice cream.

    And I saw an ad for Papa John's pizza which featured a chili Fritos pizza. Huh? Wouldn't that be messy?

    "Cake-flavoured"?? Does cake have its own flavour? All the cakes I have known had another flavour (chocolate, vanilla, etc.).
    Maybe it's like red velvet cake... i.e. it really tastes like nothing. Just sweetness/cake. A completely indefinable flavour that isn't even unique to red velvet cake somehow. I find it very bizarre, lol.
    So cake flavour is essentially sugary-flour flavour? I'm looking forward to that.

    Totally agree on the red velvet cake. I always thought it looked so cool and had all kinds of imaginations what would taste like. Then I tasted it and was kind of disappointed. All looks and no flavour!

    Then you have not had GOOD red velvet cake because it does have flavor when it's made right. It's my absolute favorite cake!

    So what does it taste like to you??
    I didn't mean to say it doesn't have flavour. I hqve eaten red velvet cake many times fro various sources. Some are technically better than others, but they all basically have the same confusing taste. What I mean is that it has a flavour that can't be defined at anything... it just tastes like sweet, kinda, but not just like sugar. It's like nothing flavored, lol. That's why I find it a bizarre tasting cake! I seem able to kind of define the flavors of other cakes and foods in general, but not red velvet, lol.

    it's almost like a light chocolate flavor but barely there and definitely sweet and so good when it has the cream cheese frosting...I had some recently with whipped frosting and it was terrible...lol NO BUENO!!!

    Just saw your reply, PJSiren, well and it confirmed what I thought :)

    I know exactly what you mean, PJ_Soul, I feel just the same lol The frosting has a distinctive flavour, yes. The cake was originally made with lots of cocoa, that's where it got the reddish colour from (I researched it a while ago because I loved the look). But it does not taste like chocolate. It's deceiving. I think Oreos are the same to me. Just sweet, no distinctive flavour. Boring.

    But I am very willing to try the cake again :D

    is it me, or does everybody seem strange to me today? did I miss anything on the boards while trying to get to sleep last night like a pj lottery and everybody's sour for missing out? i came on here to find what seem to be friction or do I just need sleep and am delusional? did or are people creating contention because God knows you get into trouble for that...how much more so when it's lies...

    My bestie's mom is such a bitch! OMG So the woman has only been in town one day and already she's criticized the way she keeps house(my best friend is a stay at home mom BTW, and her home is immaculate), she's complained about the smell of their pets(they have chinchillas), and she called her fat....I want to personally bitch slap her....I used to consider this woman a second mom, until I vacationed with them 8 years ago....and discovered what a selfish bitch she is...I've already been in a bad mood because of the shit with my cat, now I really want to kick someone's ass!!!
