The worst ice cream I've ever had was black licorice, which managed to taste like both anise and anus simultaneously.

I've had black pepper ice cream.

It was wonderful.

/Corn ice cream is also nice.

I eat with my ears first. Follow me on this; if something sounds unappetizing, I won't eat it. Then I eat with my eyes. If it looks unappetizing, I won't eat it. Most foods get whittled out during those two steps, at which point I can safely consume the product without fear I'll hork it up all over the place an hour later. Thus, there's a lot of stuff I don't/won't eat.

I am a picky eater too. Have you ever considered that some food is not concerned as much with being pretty, but with taste? It was a new concept to me at the time too. But not not all food has to taste alike or fit into western conceptions of food presentation.

Then I drank 'grass drink' and it tasted like a wonderful freshly mowed lawn.

/Now where is that garlic ice cream.

Anyone here old enough to remember Baskin-Robbins licorice ice cream? Looked like a big scoop of tar on a sugar cone.

May I offer Salt & Straw, featuring Brown Ale & Bacon ice cream, Olive Oil, Apricot wheat ale with peppercorns and Dandelion Sorbet with spring flowers.

Forgive them for being liked by "O" magazine. It's awesome ice cream.

I used to love many flavors of ice cream. Birthday cake and anything super chocolaty were my favs. When I was a kid, we bought one of those ice cream churning things, and one summer we had a home-made ice cream party. My uncle Sherman was in charge of the whole affair, since he'd been what we'd now call an "artisian ice cream maker" when he was in his early 20's. After watching him make it and finding out what the secret ingredient in ice cream is, I've never been able to eat the stuff afterwards. It's kinda like how I used to love chorizo, until I found out it was hardly more than bovine salivary glands and porcine anus.

Private Selection has a Pink Peppercorn Ice Cream. I only know this cause I work at a Koger brand store and have heard them advertise it multiple times a day for months on end.
 
2012-06-04 10:47:33 PM
No thanks, I'll stick with the "weird" gelato flavours at my work, like fior de latte, blueberry basil or balsamic fig.

We have a local parlor run by an older couple how do some interesting homebrews...they have a junk food that has just about everything in it and the other night they had jalapeno strawberry...glad i tried it, equally glad I didn't order it. It's called HITS (stupid name) at the base of Mill Mountain in Roanoke, VA, formerly Parlor Days. I often stop there after flailing at a softball for about six innings with no real effect.

Goddammit. I was just about to go pick up some ice cream, until I read this. :(

Well, fish aren't meat, so I get confused by all this "putting stuff into categories" that people are all into now.

I usually associate avocados with salt and grease (mmmmm bacon) but it worked! :)

Pumpkin ice cream is one of my favorites. You just take the stuff that you would normally pour into the crust for pumpkin pie and put it into an ice cream maker instead.

cum of the octopus does sound interesting,like the headline suggested.

"secret ingredient"?

Most ice cream recipes are milk/cream, sugar, egg yolks, and then whatever flavor. I'm not sure what is so terrifying in that list.

Weirdest ice cream flavor you say? I think it is Google and Samsung's Android Ice Cream Sandwich powered by Galaxy Nexus.

Now that is the weirdest thing I have heard of an ice cream.

It's one of my dreams, if I manage to make it to where I have a large residual income and can afford to run a hobby as a business, to open an ice cream parlor.

It'll be something along the lines of a Willy Wonka factory reduced to fit in a mall slot and called "The Ice Cream Lab". We will make small batch ice cream, perhaps enough to supply a few nearby restaurants with deserts, but feature weird and wonderful flavors people don't encounter daily.

Sure. However, if it looks disgusting or sounds disgusting, it doesn't matter how good it might taste, I won't eat it. It doesn't bother me that there's food out there I won't eat that other people may like. Different strokes, and all. Maybe something I like turns your stomach.

Today, I went to the Mexican grocery, which is called an 'abierto,' and found cantaloupe kool-aid. I didn't think to look at their ice cream.

/I had cucumber pop last week. It's good.
 
2012-06-05 12:02:38 AM
The Asian market by my old place had some really odd flavors. Two that stuck in my head were corn & cheese, and squid.

I had some of that once, at a garlic restaurant in Los Angeles. Quite good. Just the other day I had chocolate-covered pretzel ice cream at JP Lick's in Cambridge, MA.

I think Japan just wants to mindf**k the rest of the world with it's usually fun weirdness. I love them so much for that, it would be much more boring without them.

A local place I went to as a kid still sells that. I may have to get some for the sake of nostalgia. Great stuff; thanks for reminding me.
 
2012-06-05 12:35:15 AM
The only "weird" ice creams I've tried are black pepper, sea salt, avocado (on an ahi salad appetizer), and green tea. The black pepper and sea salt basically just tasted like vanilla for the most part. The avocado was weird because it's ice cream on an salad - the flavors and textures don't work together for me. The green tea ice cream was probably the grossest of that group though. But to each their own... I prefer to keep my sweet flavors sweet and keep them away from salty/savory flavors.
 
2012-06-05 12:35:34 AM
A recently-opened place sells sweet pear and bleu cheese flavored ice cream, It sounds intriguing, and I'll have to try it soon.
 
2012-06-05 12:35:36 AM
I've made Cucumber Ice Cream before, and Chocolate Stout. I like to do a Molasses sweetened Whipped Cream on top of the beer one. Garam Masala and Coconut make a good one too.
 
2012-06-05 12:36:11 AM
Seafood-flavored ice creams, though? Oh, hell no.
 
2012-06-05 12:44:26 AM
Am I the only person who doesn't 'get' the whole sea salt thing?? Tastes just like table salt to me & makes things like caramel worse when you add enough to make it crunchy.

So you're one of those people who doesn't like food, and is bitter about it?
 
2012-06-05 12:56:17 AM
Hmm. The neighborhood artisanal ice cream makers make Whiskey ice cream. I could develop a taste for that stuff, I bet.
