Ice Cream Flavours For The Adventurous!!
Ancient civilizations had saved ice for cold foods for thousands of years. In the fifth century BC, ancient Greek’s sold snow cones mixed with honey and fruit in the markets of Athens. Persians, having mastered the storage of ice, ate ice cream well into summer. Roman emperor Nero (37–6 cool had ice brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings. Today’s ice treats likely originated with these early ice delicacies.
But at some point, the world of ice cream took a turn for the worst and gave us the following abominations:
.
.
Raw Horseflesh Ice Cream: The mere thought of putting raw horseflesh into ice cream may be enough to produce plenty of neigh … er, naysayer. And, rightfully so. You can get it straight from the horse’s mouth; this would have to vie for the vilest ice cream ever created. The chunks of meat inside it offer ample proof of why horseflesh is usually used in dog food.
.
Garlic ice cream: At last! An ice cream that lets everybody around you know you’ve eaten it! Garlic-flavoured Dracula Ice Cream is a summer delight you can really sink your teeth into. Designed to ward off vampires, this uncommon choice of flavouring may ward off a few ice cream lovers, too. Garlic may well be a wonderful condiment for an assortment of foods, but, as for a substance vampires really hate, this is bloody awful. Incidentally, Garlic Ice Cream was made in the tiny Aomori Prefecture village of Shingo, which claims to be the place where Jesus Christ’s grave is located.
.
Ox Tongue Ice Cream: What better way to tickle your taste buds than with another tongue? Though Ox Tongue Ice Cream may not be the first delicacy to come to mind, its taste is nothing to have a beef with.
.
Chilli Pepper Ice Cream: Before partaking of this fiery ice cream, perhaps its best to remember that it’s made of the same stuff used in the capsicum spray used on those in an uncontrollable rage. Probably one of the only ice creams in existence that makes your mouth burn when you taste it.
.
Salad Ice Cream: An ice cream salad that definitely needs to be tossed. This ice cream, packed with chunks of veggies, is the sort of food that turns kids off their vegetables.
.
.
Silk Ice Cream: An ice cream that tastes as smooth as silk. And so it should, because that’s what it’s made of. Silk was Japan’s biggest pre-war export, and somehow, parachutes and kimonos still seem like a better use for the textile.
.
.
Indian Curry ice Cream: Definitely not a taste to give others if you’re trying to curry favour. Curry flavoured ice cream goes a long way toward putting the bomb into Bombay. The adventurous ones who try this ice cream will be rewarded with the taste of curry lingering in their mouths for hours.
.
.
Shark Fin Noodle Ice Cream: Just when you thought it was safe to eat ice cream again, here’s something you can really sink your jaws into. The tangy taste of Shark Fin Noodle Ice Cream is definitely one for the finicky fan. A great white ice cream!
..
Curdled Bean Ice Cream: One of Japan’s most repulsive foods - fermented beans that form a paste that looks like slime from a cheap Hollywood horror flick, with an odour akin to dirty socks - this was a natural choice for a unique ice cream flavour. Being such an appealing morsel, natto is bound to be healthy, but using it in artery clogging ice cream relieves it of even that virtue.
..
Pit Viper Ice Cream: The pit viper is one of the most dangerous poisonous snakes inhabiting the Japanese archipelago. And a bite into this reptilian flavoured ice cream can certainly seem deadly. Pit viper is regarded as an aphrodisiac in Japan, but the terrible taste makes it hard to fall in love with this ice cream.
..
Lettuce and Potato Ice Cream: Lettuce Ice Cream? With Potato? Rarely the best of partners even in dishes such as salads where they at least complement one another, Lettuce and Potato Ice Cream is a leafy spud dud.
..
Chicken Ice Cream: It’s an ice cream like this that almost makes you wish the horrible thought about the avian flu that swept through Japan earlier this year had been a bit more effective. The taste of Chicken Ice Cream goes a long way toward explaining why the birds are described as foul. Though undoubtedly a tasty meat, you’ll need to be anything but chicken to get through this ice cream.
.
Would you be tempted to try any of the above ice cream flavours? If so which flavour?
I’ll just stick with my favourite. A tub of Neapolitan ……..
