RiceCream?

  Just wanted to share with you guys my newest discovery in Thai desserts.  Ice cream, with sticky rice in it.  I know it sounds gross, but it's actually not bad at all.  There's an ice cream stand outside our apartments that is there for a few hours in the evening, and we decided to try it after seeing a ton of people getting it.  It's homemade vanilla ice cream, and choices of tons of non-conventional toppings!  To give you a few examples, there is sun-dried bananas, dried pineapple, strawberry jelly, coconut jello-like cubes, jelly balls, sticky rice, and corn.  Today I got sticky rice, strawberry jelly, and dried pineapple.  The sticky rice looks like it's tinted blue because he dyed it with butterfly pea.  Pretty cool, right? I know it sounds really weird and potentially gross, but it was seriously amazing!  We wondered if when we get home we'll want rice on our ice cream?
