    From a food review over at Dayton Daily News:

    Skyline Spice with Oyster Crackers reminded me of a slice of pumpkin pie. The ice cream itself tasted like cinnamon and nutmeg with the oyster crackers giving a salty taste similar to a pie crust, but crunchier.

    I’d eat a pint of that.

    Someone in our sister office bought one for people to sample today. The one review I heard was that it wasn’t bad, like salted pumpkin spice. That makes sense because Skyline chili is not chili. I’ve been calling it pumpkin spice meat sauce for years.

      I’m gonna have to try some of that chili, it sounds as good as the ice cream does.

        The spaghetti chili is really good; but it does not taste the way they just described it.

          I’ve had Skyline chili that was definitely heavy on the cinnamon/nutmeg but I’ve also had “spaghetti chili” that was just decent chili served over noodles. I think I actually preferred the regular flavored spaghetti chili.

            I feel like Goldstar leans more in the direction of plain chili, though it’s a bit watery IMO.

    I’m really glad I’m on the West Coast with at least 2300 miles separating me from this horror show.

      I was instantly revolted when I read chili and ice cream on the same product because I was imagining frozen beans, but it’s apparently just a bit of the chili spice and some oyster crackers, which are basically like adding a sugarless wafer. Weird but not as deranged as I feared.

    As a lover of Cincinnati chili (Gold Star) and graeters … this sounds like an abomination. 🤢

      Well, you like Gold Star, so your taste buds are already suspect.

      My mum made “Cincinnati Chili” one day and she apparently made it properly with a popular recipe… I hated it so much. I felt so bad. I looked at my pops and he was like “……yeah let’s make something else”

      Gawd, I felt so bad. This was like 20 years ago and I still feel bad about it. I love her food otherwise.

        I love Cincinnati chili, but you absolutely cannot go into it expecting chili 😅 it is completely it’s own thing

        I eat Cincy chili straight up, multiple times a month. I’m not sure I’d eat a homemade version, not sure why

          My mother-in-law makes a great Cincinnati chili. She always makes a huge amount and it freezes well too.

      Honestly really good. Like pumpkin pie but the oyster crackers tie it all together as that Chili flavor. Definitely a fan. But graeters basically does no wrong.

        I guess I was just thinking of full on 3-way flavor in ice cream form. I can kinda see how a hint of the spice could be interesting.

    Great, now I want skyline and I don’t have the spice mix. I really need to look up w copycat recipe and make some. Sure as hell not going to the US for it.
