schadenfroyo

Increasingly common in the age of overly creative chefs, this is that special satisfaction or pleasure at another person’s unfortunate frozen dessert choice.

What’d you order?

I got one scoop each of Spamberry Crunch, Blueberry Borscht, and Pizza Dough.

Ha! Sucker! I got chocolate and vanilla.

You’re enjoying my disgust too much, this is classic Schadenfroyo.

Do you think I should get the Natto’n Honey, Pralines and Bream, or Whirled Peas?

Try them all! I feel some Schadenfroyo coming on.
