Saturday is National Mustard Day.

French’s Mustard just announced that in honour of the holiday, they’re releasing a brand new Mustard Ice Cream.

It’s bright yellow and apparently it tastes like cake batter with mustard swirled in.

A reviewer tried it and crazily enough, they sort of liked it. “It didn’t taste like a frozen condiment, the sharpness of mustard did not insult the sweetness of the cake batter. Instead, the two opposing flavors seemed to come together and lessen one another.” But she does say, “I have a feeling this will be polarizing.”

Unfortunately, most people won’t get to find out for themselves. The ice cream is only going to be available in Culver City, California and out of a special ice cream truck in New York.

I scream, you scream, wait.. mustard ice cream? Yes, and it’s delicious! We partnered with @Coolhaus for #NationalMustardDay on 8/3 to bring you mustard like you’ve never had it before. Click here to learn more: https://t.co/bkszXuy0NV pic.twitter.com/edOPK6s7tu
