Pro tip: soy sauce on vanilla ice cream beats hot honey on pizza and it is not even close
So about 5 months back I tried two combos that everyone online keeps hyping: hot honey drizzled on a plain cheese pizza and a few drops of soy sauce on vanilla ice cream. The hot honey pizza was fine but honestly it just tasted like normal pizza with a sweet kick, nothing wild. The soy sauce ice cream though hit me like a truck. Something about the salt mixing with the cold sweet cream makes it taste like salted caramel, but better. I did it 3 nights in a row at my place in Kansas City with the cheap $4 tub from Aldi and each time it got better. My roommate tried a spoon and said it tasted like a melted caramel pretzel, which I think is pretty close. Hot honey on pizza gets all the hype but it is a one trick pony. So I want to know where people land on this. Is hot honey pizza actually worth the fuss or is it overrated like I think? And has anyone else tried soy sauce on ice cream because I need to know I am not the only one.
