To be fair, those guys are probably getting old and stringy by now.

Actually, there are a couple of _real_ flavours of ice cream I'd put on that list before I'd say Astronaut. Tiger Tail, for example (licorice is one of the many reasons British cooking is infamous), or Green Tea (it sounds so good, it tastes so bad).

phlegmmo: I hear the astronaut ice cream contains trace levels of Mercury.

I see what you did there.

The Dread Pirate Robertson: It's more like the tastiest Styrofoam you'll ever eat.

I think it's more like sandstone...

I used to work in a store that sold astronaut ice cream. I used my employee discount to buy a package or two every few weeks. Awesome stuff but, amazingly, it is possible to get sick of it after a while.

Also, parmesan ice cream is probably awesome, too. Parmesan is a very common dessert ingredient. Imagine it with a little (high quality) balsamic on top. Yum.

I was going to say durian ice cream had to be on there, but after RTFA, I've changed my mind. It's not even remotely in the same league as Pit Viper and Horseflesh.

Nah, it's a dehydrated ice cream sandwich. It's not something you'd eat every day, but on a field trip it's perfect. To this day, a trip to a science museum is not complete without it.

Yep, stopped reading after that.

I grew up near Aldrich's Beef & Ice Cream Parlor. Each April 1st, they would have a new weird flavor like:

Bacon and Eggs
Sauerkraut
Corned Beef and Hash
Dill Pickle
Mac&Cheese,
Bologna
Chocolate Spaghetti

It was featured on NPR and the Tonight Show several times sadly, though it has since closed down.

My friend's parents once bought a half gallon of olive ice cream without telling him, and marked it "bing cherry."

Chicken-fried steak and Iced tea are the only two good things to come out of the south.

Pumpkin ice cream is delicious, not all that unusual.
The closest I have tasted to Pumpkin is Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun kind.

I have had Garlic Ice cream which I noticed a commenter on the original article said was disgusting. I too had some at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, CA, over 20 years ago I remember liking it. My Mom and brother liked it as well.

Seems a shame this guy did not also include a list of unusual ice creams that were good. Lazy bastard.

And astronaut ice cream in no way should have made this list. Again lazy bastard - could have easily located and tried it.

One can always count on the Japanese(in Japan) to serve up the MOST grotesque things.

Charcoal Flavor, yum!

Green Tea ice cream is awesome

I've had (fairly mild) chilli ice cream before. It puts you in an odd loop.

"MMmmmm, ice cream"

Hungry for astronaut ice cream?

Visit your local Fry's Electronics. They seem to always carry it by the cash registers.

Having now RTFA, I'm intrigued by the idea of hot chilies and ice cream.
Having now RTFT, I've never had chicken fried steak but it's always sounded like a good and tasty dish. Never seen it up here in the Canadian Jungle, so I'd have to venture somewhat South-ish to find it. If/when I do, I'll report back with my findings.

Am I really going to have to be the first one to point out that "Top 10 Grossest" is horribly redundant? Not only that but TFA author admits that the article is a "quick outline" and "by no means a complete catalog." And the article author didn't even taste test anything on the list, he just decided that these ice cream flavors were icky by sight and/or sound.

So not only are these ice cream flavors not verified to be the "top ten grossest", they're not even verified to be gross, period. And if you count the inclusion of corn ice cream (which is the only valid inclusion on the list since the author actually had some), it's not even a list of ten flavors. So the article fails on every single count.

For those of you in the northern Chicagoland area wanting to sample a variety of different flavors, check out Village Creamery (new window).

I've tried the durian ice cream (which isn't listed for some reason). It's much more palatable than the fresh fruit (tastier, even). At least you don't need to bathe, wash your clothes, and fumigate the area after eating the ice cream.

Durian has a very "funky" taste. Some people can get used to it, some people can't. I'm not one of them. At least the ice cream doesn't smell so much and the coldness tones down the weird taste, but the raw fruit has a rather slimy texture and smells pretty much like ripe garbage.

Thank you sir. My day is complete. :)

Paris, that link was awesome! That brought back some, not always tasty memories! We lived in Japan for 2 years, To the Japanese ice cream isn't just a dessert, it can be a 7 course meal {just add a crepe!} If you ever get a chance, try 'sakura cherry blossom' a cherry blend that is very light and refreshing and bean paste is a huge fav. Stay away from 'spinach' bok choy' shrimp' and 'sushi' flavors. You will never want ice cream again, evar!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Porous Horace, you have to go way south to get authentic flavor. Oklahoma and Texas are the best, Utah adds less sugar and more salt to their batter. Apparently Californians don't know what gravy is, a must if you want the full experience. And try both regular and Texas style chicken fried steak {double dipped for an extra crunchy coating} And try chicken fried chicken, the same greasy goodness wrapped around a pounded chickem breast {to help support the delusion you are eating heathy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chandie, I worked at Babe's in Roanoke when they first opened in '93. Absolutely the best fried chicken evar! Much more expensive now but still worth the price!

Olive Tapenade Ice Cream is fantastic.
It's just regular tapenade with some butter and all the usual flavorings like truffles, garlic and balsamic vinegar and doesn't actually melt. It was served with toasted bread points and was great as a spread, better than foie gras

I'm studying abroad in Germany right now and told a Finnish friend about astronaut ice cream. She was fascinated by the idea, so I had my parents send me some a few days ago. She took one bite and couldn't finish the rest. The facial expression was priceless.

At least Japan can say they make some good things. Electronics, cars, entertaining Godzilla movies...ice cream is not one of them.

Lsyn: The tastiest, most complex ice cream flavors I've ever had were from Jeni's Ice Cream in Columbus, OH.

Thanks for mentioning Jeni's, I was about to do that. I live here in Columbus and can attest to the fantastic flavors they do, and most are seasonal. Do yourself a favor and get some shipped, or hit it next time you're in town!

Two words: green tea.

Molly Moon's here in Seattle has delicious flavors that, while not gross by any means, are certainly less common. My favorite is Salted Caramel but I also enjoy Balsamic Strawberry and Pomegranate Curry. They did an excellent bacon-flavored one for a while. Another (new) ice cream joint in my neighborhood is serving up a nice Elysian Stout ice cream and, bless their hearts, Snickerdoodle.

I remember a story from a long time ago of an ice cream product that was coming out into the market. It was a chocolate ice-cream but it contained roasted watermelon seeds and corn. It was to be called Icecrement.

For all of you that want some astronaut ice cream but don't have anywhere to get it locally, you can try ordering some from here. (pops)

YES YOU ARE

funny, 'cause you look fat.

If being 5 foot 2 inches and 350 lbs. is fat then I'm guilty.

If having a BMI of 64 isn't fat, I don't know what is. Obesity Class IV starts at 50, and is also known as "Super Morbidly Obese."

Dude, Chill. I was just messing with them. I'm 6 foot 1" 185.

Anyone ever have an astronaut ice cream sandwich? Those things are like Super Oreos, just a little crispy and crunchy.

Mandapants: Porous Horace: Blue Fudge from St-Aubin.
Both no longer exist, except in fond memory.

WOW! St Aubin Sur Mer, Normandy?? Never thought I'd ever run across another human being who'd been there.

/Jan 1991-April 1991
//no ice cream; winter
///first winter it had snowed in a long time
////thought we were getting away from snow


Well, um... keep running :)

I was referring to St_Aubin ice cream parlour which was on Laurentian (now Marcel Laurin) blvd, in St-Laurent (a suburb of Montreal), Quebec. I imagine that it and the nearby St-Aubin street (which I did live on for a couple of years, many years later) were named after a saint. My guess is "Aubin".

Blue Fudge was a tastalicious discovery.
Seemed to never be hard-frozen, melted quickly.
It's one thing from my childhood I don't think I'll ever have again. :(

I'm assured by my sister who spent some time in South America that salmon and pepperoni (separate, not mixed together) ice creams are a wonderful savoury snack on a hot day. I'd try the horsemeat one, for sure.

The local ice cream shop here has a black pepper vanilla ice cream. It's actually awesome, and my current favorite.
