Back on my birthday weekend, I met up with a group of friends at Shake Shack, so of course I had to try out the Heirloom Tomato custard which was available that day. Yes, it sounds really weird and probably sort of gross. However, curiosity clearly wins out for me in these cases, as it usually does.
The custard had sort of a yellow-orange hue which you may be able to tell in the photo above. The custard smelled and tasted like, well, tomatoes - not ketchup, or pasta sauce, mind you, but straight-up tomatoes. This might be one of the most bizarre Shake Shack custard flavors I've ever had, that's for sure. Some of my friends found that dipping french fries into the custard actually made it pretty tasty, haha. It reminded me of something I'd see at a molecular gastronomy-type restaurant, using tomato ice cream as a topping for some sort of salad or protein. Needless to say I did not eat even close to the whole cup, but it was fun to try, haha.
