Some of the best travel memories aren’t the grand landmarks—they’re the small, spontaneous moments when you step out of your comfort zone and taste something you’ve never tried before. In Madinah, The Hijrah Family captures exactly that kind of experience: a fun, food-focused stop where the question isn’t should you? but would you?
In this video, they arrive by the Ka area next to meat and head straight for a unique avocado treat. There’s plenty of laughter along the way—starting with the pronunciation of “avocado”—as someone behind them gently corrects their wording. That lighthearted exchange sets the tone for what follows: a playful attempt at a local-style ice-cream experience that feels both familiar and surprising.
A quick Madinah food challenge: avocado with ice cream
The moment they order, it becomes a mini adventure in itself. The family describes the treat as “basically… like a double shot on top of ice cream”. It’s the kind of comparison that sparks curiosity—especially if you enjoy bold flavours or you’re the sort of person who likes experimenting with unusual combinations.
Would you try it? The big flavour debate
After they take a look, they share their reactions in the most honest way possible: with genuine surprise and a question hanging in the air. One of the key points in the video is the comparison to coffee-flavoured ice cream. The family member asks viewers what they think, saying it might suit fans of ice cream with coffee—while their friend disagrees and is “against it”.
That friendly disagreement is part of the charm. It’s not just about the dessert; it’s about how food brings people together to test ideas, challenge assumptions, and laugh at the outcome.
What to expect (from the video description)
- A locally sold avocado-based treat served with ice cream.
- A taste comparison that feels like a “double shot” element on top of ice cream.
- A lively conversation about whether it resembles an ice cream-and-coffee pairing.
