18 Unusual Ice Cream Flavors From Around The World
 |
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).
Andrew Zimmern ate this in Italy. Thanks, but I’ll pass.
From Japan, where it’s known as Taco Aisu. Actual octopus meat in a slushy cherry ice.
This isn’t ice cream for horses… it’s RAW HORSE FLESH in vanilla ice cream. From Japan.
Strawberry ice cream with cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce.
Free? I guess no one would buy it so they had to give it away.
Found in Japan. The squid ink gives the ice cream a dark charcoal color.
Made with goat’s milk, and actual GOAT BITS. Popular in Asia. Yum!
Just snip the tip, and the chocolate ice cream oozes out. <Sarcasm>How appetizing.</Sarcasm>
An Alaskan ice cream-like food made from whipped fat, berries, sugar, and leftover meat.
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.
Made with 60% white sturgeon Alverta Royal Petrossian caviar. Offered by gourmet French ice cream company, Philippe Faur.
Need a little assistance in the bedroom? Try this Viagra flavor, originally created by Italian entrepreneur Franco Corradi.
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.
From Nagoya, Japan.
Made by Nestle, and sold in Singapore.
Also from Singapore. Hot, spicy chili peppers (and seeds!) in a tangy tomato-flavored 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.

Yam and coconut actually sounds decent. Weird, but decent. And I’d TRY the chili pepper one since I love hot things, and maybe the squid ink swirl because I keep hearing people rave about it. Everything else is either negotiable or negligible.
I hope they make ranch dressing ice cream to go with the chicken wing ice cream.
Yam is pretty good. I have had Japanese Green Tea and Taro Soft Ice Cream. Ube is a taro (like a yam) and purple kind of colour. Nice soft flavour.
I’ve tried it, it’s sweet and good hand has a kind of ginger/pumpkiny flavor to it.
Also, if you ever get a chance to, try Taro ice cream! It’s made with a starchy veggie that looks like a rock mated with turnip, but it’s one of my favorites. :]
Yam and coconut is one of the better ones, but i grew up in Singapore so it’s probably just the homeland speaking. Though I don’t recommend the nestle brand, they make the flavors contradict each other.
I hadcheese ice cream. It’s actually quite tasty and had tiny bits of cheese in it. It sounds off-putting but can’t rag on stuff unless you try it, right?
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Raw horse in vanilla ice cream. There are just no words.
When I was a young boy I remember being obsessed with horse ice cream (the concept, I havn’t eaten it) … thank you for reminding me all about it!
This sort of re-defines “ice cream” for me in big way – ick – “I scream” maybe . . .
Yam and coconut sounds pretty good, tho’
Ya, gotta say the Yam and Coconut would be one I would try.
Anyone for Vodka flavored Ice Cream? ;)
Vodka ice cream? Count me in.
Cheese ice cream is actually very delicious.
love it!
I fail to see how the “MAsh Cone” is gross in any way.
my wife can not stand to have her food touch on her plate so if she saw this she would throw a fit! lol. just leave the peas off and ill take three!
Haha @Tunaman, I think it looks awesome!
I have eaten the cheese one, and I’m surprised that it’s counter part corn and cheese ice cream wasn’t included. It’s actually not that bad.
And the yam and coconut is like the best thing ever!
#3 would actually be Tako Aisu, haha – Taku is Octopus in Japanese, so it is actually a very fitting name for ice cream with octopus bits in it. Which… really just sounds gross xD
There were a few I would try; yam and coconut, caviar, cheese, squid ink, chili pepper . . . the mash cone looked kind of interesting too. The horse flesh one? THAT one makes me kind of gag. So does the octopus one. Meh.
Also found in the Philippines:
Chocolate and cheese
Avocado
No kidding.
oh? really? where?? new york?? hahahahahahahaha!!! funny! tang ina!!!
Chocolate and cheese? Here in the Philippines? Weird, I’m an ice cream fan but I have yet to see a chocolate and cheese combination.
Avocado actually taste great. To give you an idea, chill and slice one, remove the pit, add milk+cream and sugar.
funny how Americans keep making fun of everything. From the Land of the Bland: Big Macs, Pizza Hut, etc. Americans are very unadventurous.
Like someone said, dont knock it till you try it.
americans are bland now that u think of it anything healthy is off their list they only eat healthy on diets
Actually, that’s not true for every American. I actually love eating salads and various fruits and vegetables.
@ designer jeans: Please don’t tempt aunt sandy! You’ll give her ideas!!
Avocado ice cream is actually really good! Alton Brown made an avocado milkshake/ice cream (I can’t remember which one) in a Good Eats episode.
Baby yam (ube) is very popular in the Philippines. My parents swear by the cheese & corn ice cream, but I won’t touch it.
Mmmmmmm. Spleen.
Actual cheese ice cream is a favourite in the Philippines. I don’t fancy it but the purple ice cream on the left is amezzin. It’s called ube- they put it on top of Filipino sundaes. I’d like to try the chili pepper ice cream, to be honest. Have you tried chocolate with chili pepper?
Andrew Zimmern says that ice cream is not “testically” enough for his palate.
I would definitely eat the Yam and Coconut…that sounds pretty tastey!
Those Ricers will eat just about anything uh ? I’m surprised I didn’t see skunkassshole icecream.
i bet you’re one of your so-called Ricers, wannabe thug.
[...] Des saveurs de crème glacée pas tout à fait standards ! [...]
Dunno about you, but nothin’ says lovin’ quite like Chicken Wing Ice Cream. :x
Im surprised that chicken wing ice cream is from japan. Id expect it to be from lousiana, missippi or texas even. And it would come with a packet of texas pete or franks red hot for toppings.
It’s so icecream!
I’d eat the yam and coconut ice cream. You see ube frequently in halo-halo.
Actually the cheese ice cream tastes nice, and NO it doesn’t smell like popcorn. ^_^
Cheese ice cream is not that unusual! I once tried balsamic vinager ice cream with pork chops, and was really taste! Most of those salty ice creams are made to be eaten with the hot main course!
that’s some unusual ice cream alrig…*barf*
that’s some ice cream alrig…*barf*
You know, the chile pepper ice cream actually sounds good. I’m mexican, and we have all sorts of different spicy flavors for ice cream, sometimes we even sprinkles some chile powder on sorbets
“Yam” is actually Taro (which isn’t a “yam” actually or “sweat potator” which is also not a yam (or taro)); all are simply vaguely similar tropical starchy roots.
The purple ice cream next to the Quezo Real is “Ube” or Taro also. On the other side is “Buco” or “Buco Salad” is coconut ice cream. Real Buco salad is fresh iced coconut meat or while buco is just fresh coconut meat. Both flavors are pretty common through out South East Asia and quite delicious.
Somehow you managed to miss “Durian” ice cream. It makes me sad. Durian ice cream makes garlic ice cream seem pretty tame.
Man are you people fucking retarded, how can you immediately assume that a flavor is ‘popular’ in a country just because it’s exotic/not American
I actually was born and raised in Gilroy, California and to tell you the truth, garlic ice cream is actually rather good. Well, that is if you get the vanilla-garlic flavor, which is just vanilla soft serve with garlic powder mixed in. Stay FAR AWAY from any other garlic-infused flavors, like chocolate-garlic. Yuck.
Gross! Every one of these look gnarly and would be enough to put me off ice cream for life!
they don’t all look gross. i’d try the condom one cause it’s simple ice cream, just in a condom and the the mash cone is just a sausage, potatos, gravy and peas in a cone. and the yam and coconut one sounds good. come on who hasn’t had sweet potatos at a holiday dinner. all the others make me want to heave till i die. lol and to wesleys comment, i wouldn’t be suprised if they did have a skunkasshole flavor.

I’m a big fan of the yam and coconut flavour. It’s my favourite!
yucky ice cream is just yuck !!
wtf horse flesh ?
did ppl really eat that ?
There’s a place in Hollywood called “The Stinking Rose” that serves garlic ice cream with a chocolate topping and it’s divine, I assure you. It’s one of the things I get every time I go there. It’s not an over-powering flavor, it mostly just tastes like vanilla ice cream with a slight garlic after taste and the chocolate is a wonderful addition to the oddness of the ice cream.
I’ve had the garlic ice cream (Stinking Rose,San Francisco) and it’s far better than you would think. Vanilla with the garlic sweetness and just a hint of funk at the the end. Super tasty.

There is a place in Prague at the bottom of Prague castle that serves Absinthe ice cream. http://www.patrickcooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/prague-2-absinth.jpg
I was in Nantucket this summer and there was a small little clam chowder/sandwich shop that made and sold home made lobster icecream. It was a vibrant orange and had fresh lobster meat in it. It was … interesting?
how amazing!!!!! I like the fish ice cream
how amazing!!!!! how to make fish ice cream
the pictures of ice cream looks like delicious but I think it’s not….
hey im so glad u put this online cause i needed this for my project. ps this website is gunny
i’m from Singapore and the yam and coconut ice cream is not weird at all. in fact its pretty good. i haven’t seen the chilli pepper one though
Quezo Real from the Philippines is still for me….yummmmyyy
our phil. cheese ice cream absolutely does not smell like moldy, cheesy popcorn.. it’s actually very delicious–we got some of the best ice creams & they’re not weird nor gross at all.. *
There’s a restaurant in Madison, NJ called Garlic Rose that sells the Garlic Ice Cream. Was actually one of the best ice creams I’ve had!
[...] reasonable like avocado, but seriously…Fish and Chips. I wonder if it’s any better than horse flesh ice [...]
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.

[...] 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… [...]
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.
i’d rather die than eating that fish ice cream! gosh, has anyone ever try cockroach in your soup?
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
Aqutaq is actually amazingly tasty. Really good for cold winter-times like you get back home in Alaska.
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!
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…
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.
I make sage ice cream.
It’s my own invention, and a surprising gourmet offering for my guests. ;-)
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
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
Have you guys tried Wasabi flavor in Taku restaurant ortigas? Definitely interesting!
cheese ice cream actually ain’t that bad.. it’s actually one of my favourite icecream flavours.

What’s unusual with cheese-flavored ice cream? or yam and coconut? I’m from the Philippines and i love cheese ice cream!
She probably haven’t tried it. Or… She hates cheese… From the Philippines.

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.
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.
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!

Quezo Real the cheese ice cream from Philippines does NOT smell like moldy cheesy popcorn it smells like all other ice creams would, sweet and yes abit popcorny, andul be surprised, the flavour tastes like popcorn too. the grated cheese in the ice cream can be over powering on its own so i suggest eating it with hot chocolate fudge cake :D
