18 Unusual Ice Cream Flavors From Around The World
Posted on July 18th 2009 by Jillian Madison

SPAGHETTI & CHEESE ICE CREAM

gross-ice-cream-16
Found in an ice cream shop in Merida, Venezuela, that sells over 900 unusual flavors. This particular one is cheese flavored ice-cream with ground-up spaghetti pieces (no sauce).

SPLEEN & ARTICHOKE ICE CREAM


Andrew Zimmern ate this in Italy. Thanks, but I’ll pass.

OCTOPUS ICE CREAM


From Japan, where it’s known as Taco Aisu. Actual octopus meat in a slushy cherry ice.

HORSE FLESH ICE CREAM


This isn’t ice cream for horses… it’s RAW HORSE FLESH in vanilla ice cream. From Japan.

SALAD ICE CREAM


Strawberry ice cream with cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce.

GARLIC ICE CREAM


Free? I guess no one would buy it so they had to give it away.

SQUID INK ICE CREAM


Found in Japan. The squid ink gives the ice cream a dark charcoal color.

GOAT ICE CREAM


Made with goat’s milk, and actual GOAT BITS. Popular in Asia. Yum!

CONDOM ICE CREAM


Just snip the tip, and the chocolate ice cream oozes out. <Sarcasm>How appetizing.</Sarcasm>

AQUTAK


An Alaskan ice cream-like food made from whipped fat, berries, sugar, and leftover meat.

THE MASH CONE

gross-ice-cream-11
From England. Sausage, mash potatoes, gravy, and peas in an ice cream cone. Technically it’s not ice cream, but it’s on a cone… and it’s gross… and that’s good enough for me.

CAVIAR ICE CREAM

gross-ice-cream-12
Made with 60% white sturgeon Alverta Royal Petrossian caviar. Offered by gourmet French ice cream company, Philippe Faur.

VIAGRA ICE CREAM

gross-ice-cream-13
Need a little assistance in the bedroom? Try this Viagra flavor, originally created by Italian entrepreneur Franco Corradi.

CHEESE ICE CREAM

gross-ice-cream-13
Cheese ice cream from the Philippines. According to the package, it’s “heavenly cheese mellorine loaded with bits of premium cheddar cheese.” People say it smells like moldy, cheesy popcorn.

CHICKEN WING ICE CREAM

gross-ice-cream-15
From Nagoya, Japan.

YAM & COCONUT ICE CREAM

gross-ice-cream-17
Made by Nestle, and sold in Singapore.

CHILI PEPPER ICE CREAM

gross-ice-cream-18
Also from Singapore. Hot, spicy chili peppers (and seeds!) in a tangy tomato-flavored ice cream.

FISH ICE CREAM


This particular variation is an Indian flavor, made using cooked cuttlefish, eggs, sugar, butter, and emulsifiers. Japan also has a fish ice cream made with saury, a saltwater fish.

    Avocodo ice cream is yummy. Pretty available in the U.S., actually. Squid ink ice cream is okay, not as awful as you’d think, but I could take or leave it. Yam and coconut is tasty. Chili/jalepeno/spicy/savory ice creams are common, jeni’s splendid ice creams does a couple that are insanely good. They also have a sweet corn one, goat cheese w roasted cherries, beet, kona stout, etc. I’m a total ice cream addict, so I’m looking for odd flavors. Id definitely try that caviar one.

  3. [...] ice cream flavors are apparently nothing new, though. Food Network Humor reports that some of the world’s more adventurous ice cream flavors include chicken wing, cheese, [...]

  4. [...] If you’re going to go for the gold on a weekday, I would recommend you pick a memorable flavor. For me, I went with vanilla and topped with almonds, for ‘good health’ and well, I like almonds damnit. Maybe next time I’ll try something exotic like chili or jalapeno flavored ice-cream or maybe the Japanese inspired mochi ice-cream, which is ice-cream stuffed inside a pasty or the Greek specialty olive oil ice cream with figs? For kicks, I checked out some unusual ice-cream flavors and was impressed by some flavors I found. Try spaghetti and cheese ice-cream, spleen and artichoke ice-cream, octopus ice-cream, garlic ice-cr… [...]

  5. I have had most of these ice creams, actually a lot of these flavours are soft creams. Most are pretty nice – Charcoal flavour is yum, actually like a really good vanilla. My fav would be cherry blossom. Ube ice cream is nice too.

  6. EBT says:

    i’d rather die than eating that fish ice cream! gosh, has anyone ever try cockroach in your soup?

  7. S D says:

    Cheese ice cream is so yummy, its always sold at the asian store I go to Q.Q I would try most of those flavors except the ones with meats or fish in it

  8. Miksani says:

    Aqutaq is actually amazingly tasty. Really good for cold winter-times like you get back home in Alaska.

  9. amancan says:

    The yam and coconut is actually really popular in the Philippines. It’s made with a purple yam called ube and they use baby coconut. It’s called ube macapuno, it’s actually really good, it’s not what you’d expect yam ice cream to taste like. And it’s an amazing color!

    • Janelle De los Santos says:

      True indeed…in fact, our version of the Yam and coconut ice cream is a lot better than what I tasted in SIngapore…The macapuno (young coconut) spells the difference :-)… a must try…

  10. Lach says:

    I had durian ice cream many times when I lived in Indonesia. Tasted a bit like onions, but at least it was cold !

    Here in Oman, a restaurant sells wasabi ice cream.

  11. Never Mind says:

    I make sage ice cream.
    It’s my own invention, and a surprising gourmet offering for my guests. ;-)

  12. cheese says:

    omg it never smells like moldy cheese, cheese flavored ice cream was awesome when i went to the philippines, just gotta get it the right places

  13. "Condom" Ice Cream says:

    that isn’t condom icecream you idiot. it says “거북알” on it and that means Turtle Egg. It doesn’t taste like turtle egg tho. It’s just shaped like it. It’s 초코(Chocolate) flavor

  14. kadayao says:

    Have you guys tried Wasabi flavor in Taku restaurant ortigas? Definitely interesting!

  15. kristin says:

    cheese ice cream actually ain’t that bad.. it’s actually one of my favourite icecream flavours.

  16. [...] day was Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s. They have this event every year to promote their ice cream. They really don’t need the publicity, but they do it anyway. I suppose that if they didn’t, [...]

  17. apple says:

    What’s unusual with cheese-flavored ice cream? or yam and coconut? I’m from the Philippines and i love cheese ice cream!

  18. Janelle De los Santos says:

    I am from Manila and Cheese ice cream is my favorite…there’s one thing more u gotta try though— Mango ice cream from the Philippines. I’ve tasted other mango ice creams but nothing close to it…If you’ve tasted Philippine mangoes you will know what I am talkin about…

  19. RaNdOmIcEcReAmPeRsOn says:

    Squid Ink Ice cream looks cool.
    Some of these actually sound tasty :D

  20. [...] It’s like ice cream, with cheese and little pieces of spaghetti. Am I the only one who thinks this is very similar to cold macaroni and cheese? From here. [...]

  22. [...] Non so voi, ma noi preferiamo gli spaghetti come primo piatto e il gelato come dessert… Visto qui. [...]

  23. [...] Comme le nom l’indique : une glace avec du fromage et des morceaux de spaghetti. Suis-je la seule à penser que ça ressemble à un plat froid de macaroni au fromage? Par là. [...]

  24. travelesque says:

    What about cactus ice cream? There are three varieties: from the flower, from the leaves, and from the roots, if I remember correctly. All are quite good.

  25. Judge says:

    I’ve wanted to try garlic ice cream since my sister went to the Stinking Rose in S.F. The cheese and yam ice creams sound good, and I would try artichoke ice cream(without the spleen). The spaghetti i.c. just looks gross!

    I had a maple bacon flavor, with real bacon in it, that is very tasty.

  26. Phoenicia says:

    Garlic ice cream is AWESOME!!! i’m not just saying that because i’m from Gilroy… It tastes like white pepper ice cream… it’s just vanilla with a little garlic flavor, there aren’t actually chunks of garlic in it…

    and the yam & coconut sounds DELICIOUS!

    horse flesh flavor is my favorite.

  30. Theo says:

    Hey… cheese ice cream? I guess I could try that. But horse flesh… my friend is going to scream so loud, people in China are gonna hear it. She is OBSSESSED with horses. I repeat: OBSSESSED. I repeat once more: OBSSESSED. I’m gonna get nightmares… poor mare. GET IT? XD
