Food Fairy-Tale
Welcome to our site!
Let’s talk about food especially unique and interesting ones!
Food which you might be excited to try! Food Fairy-tale is beautiful food journey,
in which we have shared our views on unique dishes, so without further ado, let’s
get started.
Charcoal Ice-cream (Lefave, 2016) :
What is charcoal ice-cream?
Charcoal ice- cream also known
as black ice- cream which will definitely turn your lips black is made of
activated charcoal. Main ingredients are canned coconut milk, condensed coconut
milk, arrowroot starch, vanilla extract, cacao powder and obviously charcoal
which is basically coconut ash(charred and processed remains of coconut shell).
Believe it or not Discovery of charcoal ice- cream is
actually an accident! That’s right! Goal was to actually create super coconutty
flavor, but Morgenstern’s Finest Ice-cream, located in New- York city, ended up
creating black ice- cream.
Is it healthy to eat though?
Well every coin has two sides
and this has too! As the main ingredient is activated charcoal, it is very powerful
detoxifier which is used for some treatments
in the hospital. Also it is dairy and artificial flavors free.
Nutrition facts- one serving has about 271 calories, 33
grams carbohydrates, 13 grams fat, 12 gram protein, 180 gram sodium and 7 gram
sugar.
But there are no studies that can prove that charcoal has any of these healthy benefits, so it can not
be said that it is actually healthy to consume.
Charcoal ice-cream is pretty easy to make at home too! First
you have to put freezer bowl in the freezer for nine hours, after that put a
saucepan on the stove and add the coconut milk, cacao powder, condensed coconut
milk, arrowroot starch, vanilla extract, honey, honey(can be avoided to make it
vegan) and activated charcoal. Cook it until it boils, next step is to pour the
mixture into a bowl, cover it and place it in the refrigerator for an hour,
before making the ice-cream. Churn the mixture using rotating freezer bowl for
about 20 minutes until you get desired consistency. Cover it with parchment
paper and store in the freezer for couple of hours. And it is ready to serve! Pretty
easy right!

Unicorn Frappuccino (king5, n.d.) :
Unicorn Frappuccino does actually look pretty magical. It really
seem to have some pixie dust in it! But does that actually taste as good as it
look? Let’s find out!
Starbucks came out with this drink in 2017 and it was all
over the social media, it caught everyone’s attention overnight. Although it
was limited edition drink it became very popular in very short period of time. The
taste of it can be described as fruity, sweet, little sour. This Frappuccino
even changes colors! Pretty cool right!
But this unicorn comes with loads of sugar, no surprise in
that! The standard sized Frappuccino contains around 59g sugar. According to
American Heart Association it has double of the recommended daily added sugar
limit for both male and female.
Unicorn Frappuccino has these main ingredients in it. Ice,
milk, crème Frappuccino syrup, mango syrup, white chocolate mocha sauce,
classic syrup, sour blue powder, pink powder and whipped cream.
It was limited edition but you can still ask the barista to
add some of these ingredients and create a drink similar to this unicorn Frappuccino.
Ramen burger (CNN travel, n.d.) :
Love ramen? Love burger?
Japanese American chef Keizo
Shimamoto actually combined these two dishes and made it into one dish.
To make buns, fresh ramen noodles are boiled and given the
shape of the buns and seared with sesame oil. It is crispy from outside and
chewy from inside. ramen burger is made by putting a cooked beef patty with
some arugula, secret shoyu sauce, green onions in between the bun. Then
scallion is sprinkled on the top. The flavor is sweet-salty. How the bun is
crispy from the outside and soft from the inside remains secret.
According to reports, people lined up in rain at 9 in the
morning just to try this burger. The Atlantic Wire rated this burger as serious
challenger to “Cronut” which is combination of croissant and glazed donut.
