If you run the risk of eating so much of the main course that you can’t entertain the thought of enjoying dessert this Thanksgiving, then have we got some big news for you.

Salt & Straw, an ice cream shop in Portland, Oregon, has unveiled five Thanksgiving-themed ice cream flavors that will either make your mouth water or your stomach turn. Get ready, America, because you can choose from five flavors so steeped in Thanksgiving tradition, you'll think you're sitting at the dinner table with a bunch of pilgrims. Among the selections are Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey, Sweet Potato and Candied Pecans, Apple Cranberry Stuffing, Pumpkin Custard & Spiced Chevre and Mincemeat Pie.

It's just the latest proof that ice cream is one of the edgier foods you can find.

And, the cherry on top of this unlikely sundae of culinary news is that Salt & Straw ships, which means you can bring something a lot more memorable besides that dish you call “stuffing” when your family gets together this year.
