While talking about adventurous ice cream flavours on CBC Radio One's The Morning Edition, the show received an email about some unique flavours in Regina.

This needed to be investigated.

Zarqa Nawaz, host of The Morning Edition, and Ted Deller, CBC newsreader, took it upon themselves to be excellent to each other.

To make it official, they launched Zarqa and Ted's excellent adventure: an ice cream investigation.

The journey began at the Luther College's Connection: Coffee & Creams — a place where you normally get coffee and food at the university between classes.

They paid a visit to Chef Moe Mathieu and were treated to such flavours as (whoa!) smoked bannock and raspberry, chocolate supernova, burnt pineapple and coconut, among others.
