Halloween and Ice Cream in Portland

Looking for a sweet treat besides candy on Halloween?  Try out the meal worm sundae at the Peculiarium. I took this photo last year when I visited this highly amusing Portland shop near NW 23rd.  Krampus looked on while I enjoyed my vanilla ice cream topped with "blood" and meal worms.  The no longer wiggly fellows tasted remarkably like potato chips.

There are only a few days left in October to try the Dracula's Blood Pudding and Candy Corn ice cream at Salt & Straw.  Soon the quirky Halloween flavors will turn to ones containing the likes of turkey and cranberry sauce.  Trust me, the October specials are exquisite.
