Domino's has launched a garlic and herb dip Easter egg: I was mad enough to try it

When my mind wanders, one topic which my brain likes to mull over is cheese. Not necessarily the taste, but the concept of it. Who thought: 'let's leave this bowl of milk to go off, strain it, let that get really mouldy and then eat it years later'? And, for that matter, who looked at a cow or a goat feeding their babies and thought I want a piece of that action? My point is that sometimes, something which is gross on paper turns out to be delicious in practice, if you give it a chance.

Salted caramel, or ham and pineapple pizza, for instance.

The egg itself was actually surprisingly inoffensive - if not for the odd papery fleck of herb in amongst the smooth chocolate, you'd barely register the difference (in terms of taste and texture, at least).

Feeling slightly cheated of a gross food experience, I decided to dunk a shard in the dip - to the horror of my colleagues, at least one of whom turned away in disgust, shaking his head. I was scared (Image: NQ) Unfortunately, I don't have any exciting insight for you to live vicariously by. It tasted exactly as you'd expect: like white chocolate in garlic and herb dip.

They say you have to try something 10 times to acquire the taste for it - but in this instance, I think once was enough. Was I at the forefront of a new culinary discovery here? I don't think so. But who knows - maybe in 1,000 years, an AI-powered cyborg will compute the origins of garlic and herb sauce and chocolate using their superpowered brains, much like I did about cheese.
