Weirdest Ice Cream Flavors...EVER.

If you looked at Dan's blog recently, you've probably seen his post on "Natural Viagra Ice Cream".  While we didn't try the viagra-cream, we did try the local Green Tea Ice Cream and Wasabi Ice Cream.  (Green Tea was AWESOME....Wasabi tasted like vanilla with a wasabi "kick in the head" aftertaste.)  They've got some seriously weird ice creams in Japan - purple sweet potato, sesame, tomato, salt from Hakata (or Hokkaido - your choice!), young barley leaf...you name it, they have it. 

Apparently the Ice Cream craze in Japan - Mainichi News has a great photo special on some of the weirder ice creams...some of the flavors include fish, crab, ox tongue, fried eggplant, fried chicken wing, and miso ice cream. 
The photo special was then followed up by another photo special documenting the even wackier flavors in Japan, including pit viper, Indian Curry, salad (with chunks!!), soy sauce, and raw horseflesh ice cream.  If you look at that horse-cream, even the horse is running away in terror!
I suppose in the US, we have our share of weird ice creams as well...in Baltimore, Dan and I sampled some of the local flavors including garlic almond chocolate chip, pop rock, and barbeque flavored ice cream.  FYI - BBQ ice creams tastes like creamy cold BBQ sauce...oh my gawd it was so nasty....
