Also, who the hell put Astronaut Ice Cream on that list??

That stuff rocks.


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.

If eating raw horse flesh is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

What is this guy talking about?

I know, right? Love the stuff with mashed potatoes and white gravy. Yum!

/not fat

For those in the know.

/link is hot but the gelato is cold

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.

I've also seen corn ice cream, green tea ice cream, and tomato ice cream... all of which were just wrong.

Astronaut ice cream? Get bent. That stuff rocks.

Avoid the dragonfly ripple



/hot like an $11.95 Ford Woody

No Monty Python references?

\oh...wait...

Dude...WTF is wrong with the Japanese?

bonesdilligaf: Whodat?: JasonThomasX: Who didn't buy the Astronaut Ice Cream when the school went on a field trip to the science center?

Hell, if 7-11 had it I'd buy some right now!

This. I will not suffer a negative word said against Astronaut Ice Cream!

never had it, is it anything like dippin dots? cause that stuff is great.

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.

"Corn ice cream. No lie."

This is actually sold in Brazil. It is quite popular there. Avacado ice cream is AWESOME though.

bottsicus: Dude...WTF is wrong with the Japanese?

I blame Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

JasonThomasX: Who didn't buy the Astronaut Ice Cream when the school went on a field trip to the science center?

Hell, if 7-11 had it I'd buy some right now!

Some of us were deprived as children. Though I honestly don't feel like I've missed out on anything.

He's an idiot for including astronaut ice cream. One of the best.

Molavian: Astronaut ice cream? Get bent. That stuff rocks.

No, no it does not. It is horrendous. How anyone could enjoy puke flavored rocks is beyond me.

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

No one messes with the freeze-dried ice cream. That's the single rite of passage for every elementary school field trip to DC.


/Smithsonian probably sells enough of it each year to run the Air & Space Museum profitably.

What is this guy talking about?

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."

Why don't we go for the best ice creams.

My vote is Nardone in 5^éme arr. in Lyon, France.

Chicken-fried steak gross? LIES

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"
"Wait, hot, must cool mouth with ice cream"

repeat.

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.

/over and trout

Lars The Canadian Viking:


Charcoal Flavor, yum!

Perfect compliment to the burnt steaks Dad just grilled.

I worked at a restaurant that was famous for their April Fool's flavors every year. The worst one was the bologna.

this one's a hit in the philippines. it's made from a yam variety.

/came for the iron chef ice cream reference/s. very well done.

I'm with the astronaut ice cream fans... I freakin' loved that stuff.

Anyone know where I can get some tutti frutti?

/aww, Rudy

Author has obviously never had chicken fried steak from Babe's. (new window)

Hmmm, so most of them are from Japan. No surprise. But where is the rape-flavored ice cream?



/Hot, what else!?

rosie odonells butt fudge delight

ActionJoe: Molavian: Astronaut ice cream? Get bent. That stuff rocks.

You must have some serious issues with your sense of taste. I am incredibly sorry for your loss.

Never had the astronaut ice cream... Really want to try it now.

Try the Good Humorrhoid truck.

Speaking of chicken-fried steak, there's a diner in my tiny home town that serves the world's best chicken-friend steak, fried in bacon grease.

/my eyeballs get greasy eating that stuff, mmm

Theaetetus: There's also a JP Licks nearby that sells a yummy cucumber ice cream. Great on a hot day.

YUCK!

Cucumber should be made into sorbet, not ice cream.

Just figured out the consistency of space ice cream.

Think of Whoppers, but without the hard shell.

I've had cold sweat, it basically is normal ice cold ice cream, but it burns the hell out of your mouth, and yes, you have to sign a waiver first.

(Had half a teaspoon.)

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

Boooo!

I'm with everyone disagreeing with the inclusion of this on the list. Nothing wrong with it at all.

JasonThomasX: Who didn't buy the Astronaut Ice Cream when the school went on a field trip to the science center?

Hell, if 7-11 had it I'd buy some right now!

I don't see what was so gross about Astronaut Ice Cream.

mmmmm ox tongue

Green mouse and telephone are the worst.
