Weird Ice Cream Flavours from Around the World

Everybody, okay, almost everybody loves ice-cream. Ice-cream takes us back to our childhood, days on the beach, long summer afternoons, soft scoop, chocolate flakes and sprinkles . . . oh, I’m there already.

Whilst the ice-cream of our childhood consisted mainly of Vanilla with the occasional Lemon Sorbet, Raspberry Ripple and Mint Choc Chip there are some rather quirky and unusual ice-cream flavours around the world.

Which ones of these do you fancy?

Breast Milk Ice Cream – you don’t have to travel to the far corners of the earth for this one, just to London. It did create rather a stir when it was first introduced with the name “Baby Gaga” which a certain pop singer took rather badly to.  The ice cream was flavoured with lemon zest and vanilla pods so it wasn’t that weird – was it?

Smoked Salmon Ice Cream – talk about getting your main course and dessert in one helping. Other creations from this unusual homemade ice cream parlour in Queens include beer ice cream (definitely worth a taste) and ice cream with chocolate covered crisps and fudge – all together!

Garlic Ice Cream – sounds revolting but one really shouldn’t judge until you’ve tried it. This unusual ice cream combination is served not with any type of pudding but . . . wait for it . . . as a sauce for fillet steak.  I wonder what they eat for dessert.

Horse meat Ice Cream – apparently the locals love it, ice cream with lumps of raw horse meat, only in Japan. This is a real favourite in the Tokyo markets apparently.

Haggis Ice Cream – is of course from a little closer to home.  As well as this delightful combination you can also try Yorkshire pudding ice cream complete with bangers and mash flavourings. I think I’ll pass.
