Unusual Culinary Creations at College Baseball Events
Innovative Food Offerings in Baseball
As the baseball season approaches, fans are often treated to a variety of unique food items at stadiums, ranging from Major League Baseball to college games. With social media amplifying these culinary creations, novelty items have become commonplace, often sparking curiosity and, at times, controversy.
The Pimento Cheese Milkshake at the University of Miami
In a recent announcement on social media, Darren Rovell shared a new and quite unusual drink available at the University of Miami’s baseball games. Dubbed the “Mark Light Shake,” this new offering features a pimento cheese milkshake. The shake includes:
- Vanilla yogurt
- Vanilla ice cream
- Vanilla syrup
- Pimento cheese
- Potato chips
- Topped with a mini pimento cheese sandwich
This concoction was introduced to coincide with the homestead against Duke, making waves across social platforms.
Reactions to the Creation
Social media responses to the pimento cheese milkshake were overwhelmingly mixed, with some fans expressing disbelief. Comments included:
“I’d rather eat a Speedway hot dog,” marking a humorous critique.
“My lactose intolerance just had a heart attack,” noted another user, expressing concern for dietary restrictions.
Others questioned the authenticity of the shake, with one commenter asking, “Is this a bit?” demonstrating skepticism towards the outrageous combination.
Previous Successful Offerings
Despite the backlash over the pimento cheese milkshake, the University of Miami’s Mark Light Shake has previously seen more successful creations. For instance, during a rivalry weekend earlier in March, they offered two milkshakes named:
- Snickerdoodle
- Cannoli
These flavors garnered positive feedback, further showcasing the creativity behind their menu.
Looking Ahead
As the weekend games approach, it remains to be seen how this particular milkshake will perform in terms of popularity. Whether it will become a fan favorite or a quirky footnote in culinary history at college baseball remains an open question.
