I'm in Germany and one of my favorite ice cream flavors is woodruff, which is a traditional flavor here and has been for a long time. Woodruff (also called "Master of the Woods") is a herb harvested in early spring that contains a lot of coumarin. The taste is a little hard to describe; it's sort of like a mix of pistachio, marzipan and with a very sweet and pleasant herbal note.
😅 I remember reading of woodruff when I was a teen and crazy for sci-fi and fantasy (gotta love those space pixies). Wonder if I could keep a couple of plants alive this time?
Yeah, I thought something was off with that. Also, Kit Kat does come in a lot of different flavors (and some flavor combinations) although many of the flavors are mixed with chocolate to some degree.
This may not qualify as unusual, but one ice cream flavor (or, rather flavor combination) that I can't find anymore is Spumoni. I think of it as a grownup version of Neapolitan. While Neapolitan is chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, Spumoni is chocolate, pistachio, and cherry. Spumoni ice cream was often a treat in my house when I was a kid back i the 1960's, but I have not been able to find it for a long time.
Spumoni is kind of an Italian American food trend, because my friends from Naples and Florence tell me it isn't typical of their areas, and usually the gelato is based on a fresh local flavor. I think spumoni is reflective of a certain time and place in the history of the Italian American diaspora, a call for the familiarities of home
In the Peruvian version of Neapolitan ice cream, lucuma replaces chocolate, not strawberry. The ice cream in 2:06 is called "tricolor" (three-colored) because the distinct colors it has due to the vanilla, strawberry and lucuma used.
I love rose flavored ice cream and candy. I don't understand why it's not more popular in the U.S. You can find rose water, rose flavored syrup, or rose ice cream at Indian supermarkets.
Here in the US, rose water as a flavor was largely replaced by vanilla when it became widely available. I'm not really sure why; somewhere along the line, Americans seemed to lose interest in floral flavors. These days you're starting to see flavors like lavender and rose again in health food stores and some artsier cafés and restaurants, but many people here still consider floral flavors a bit weird.
Yea, and then you see "Americans try foreign snacks" videos on TH-cam, and whenever they try someting rose-flavoured, you'd think someone shot fresh corpse-squeezings down their throats. Wimps.
@@BonaparteBardithion Intersting...usually they have it dried at health food stores to make tea. I am currently looking for the best flavoured roses to grow at home. When they are fresh, crisp and juicy, rose petals in a salad are divine!
Candy store I used to run had rose petal ice cream. Because how it’s made, it has a lot less sugar and fat than traditional icecream. Makes a decent sorbet too
I would love to have tried that. I grew up in the 80s when Rose Petal Place dolls were popular & but always had an affinity for anything related to the flower anyway...including food & beverages. Everything I've ever tried has tasted wonderful. Always wondered if it was just in my mind or really that great, but those kinds of items are extremely hard to come by (at least where I live), so I guessed the latter. Now all I can think about is finding rose petal ice cream (I don't eat much, but when I do, it's ice cream) 🥰🌹😂
I love tamarindo/tamarind. In Puerto Rico we make frozen treats called limbel or make juice from it. I prefer it a little more tart than sweet but however you like it, it's delicious 😋.
In Indonesia, we got avocado ice cream, durian ice cream, black sticky rice ice cream, spicy fruit salad (rujak buah) ice cream, mung bean ice cream, and so on, and so on...
My currently favorite Philippines ice cream flavor besides avocado is gabi-keso (Taro-Cheese). It has this kinda rough texture and not so sweet taste which surprisingly tastes really good
Ever since it was offered at a local (N. Canton, Ohio) store around Cristmastime many years ago, my family and I got addicted to garlic & onion jam. Amazingly delicious, hardly ever see it anywere.
Back in the 1960's we would put instant powdered coffee on our vanilla homemade ice cream but I really loved when mom made peppermint stick or grandma made burnt sugar.
@Robin Smith My maternal grandmother introduced me to Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream as a child. Mom wasn’t too keen on the idea (sugar and caffeine) so often it was our “little secret”, though mom revealed to me at her mom’s funeral that she knew. R.I.P. Grandma ☕️ 🍨
That's a really good idea. I used to make shakes with ice cream and chocolate protein powder, or just sprinkle it on top sometimes. I drink instant and it would probably be great on mint.
So glad Philippines ube ice cream was included!! That stuff is awesome! But Halo-Halo is pronounced "haa·low haa·low" Also they have bamboo ice cream in Korea and that stuff is amazing!!!
My favorite flavor at Baskin-Robbins is called "Winter White Chocolate." White chocolate ice cream (the only time I can tolerate white chocolate), fudge ribbon, and chocolate covered cherries. Unfortunately, it's only available in December.
Here in Finland, one of the most popular ice cream flavours is Salmiakki(salt of ammonia + licorice). My personal favourite is Rum raisin flavour, it's just too good! 🇫🇮👌🏽
Exactly as it's written. Hah lo- hah lo When you pronounce Filipino words that's the only rule you have to abide to. You pronounce it as you spell it or the other way around
I was introduced to Rocky Road (chocolate ice-cream, marshmallow swirls, almonds or walnuts) sometime in the late 1980s, and its variant, Tin Roof Sundae (chocolate, marshmallow, chocolate-coated peanuts) a couple years later. Amazing. When we moved back to England in 2000, I went without Rocky Road for years, and then they finally introduced it . . . but they got it WRONG. British "Rocky Road" is chocolate ice-cream and marshmallow swirls, but with shortbread chunks, and sometimes cherries. I mean, it's DELICIOUS, but it's also WRONG. They need to re-name it in the UK. Because if people from the UK who're allergic to nuts go to the USA and think US Rocky Road would be safe to eat, they're going to be in trouble. "Country Lane" would be a good name for the British version, I think.
there's an ice cream place in San Francisco called Polly Ann's that has a bunch of interesting flavors including Star Wars ice cream (mint and marshmallows)
In New Zealand, passion fruit ice cream, Black Doris plum ice cream and Hokey Pokey ice cream; the Hokey Pokey was kind of the same as American Butter Brickle ice cream (which seems to have gone out of fashion; it was my late mother's favorite).
I'm surprised at the omission of "checkerberry" (wintergreen) ice cream, nowadays mostly only available in Pennsylvania but once upon a time popular over a wider area, and pinol ice cream -- flavored with a mixture of toasted barley flour, brown sugar (panela), and spices, as can be found in Ecuador and Peru. Also, kulfi isn't one specific flavor of ice cream but a style of ice cream, and can be found in a variety of flavors, not just one mixture of various flavors as you implied. I was hoping to see Italian stracciatella (the chocolate-ribbon variety, not the savory egg-drop soup!) gelato make the list as well. Fun video though, and I learned about several flavors I'd never heard of!
Yeah as someone who is from the uk. That isn’t ice cream from the uk…. Also Ireland is its own country out with the uk., don’t get that twisted. Very ignorant of you. we don’t bread ice cream in uk thanks
I'm a big fan of your channel. I appreciate the you promoting my show. 🙂 This is an interesting video. I didn't know about a lot of these flavors. I'll have to look for them.
My favorite ice cream, which I've only ever encountered back where I grew up in California is roasted almond ice cream. Not just ice cream with almond bits in it, but ice cream that is almond flavored itself. One of the ice cream places there even had a sundae they called the "Black and Tan," which was almond ice cream, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and caramel sauce. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.
Love, love, LOVE black sesame ice cream; I love it by itself, and paired with green tea ice cream. I think I need a trip to our local Asian market now - it's been way too long since I've had these!
I love black sesame ice cream so much- lots of people are worried about trying it because of the color- they shouldn't be. Especially if they love toasty or nutty flavors.
Durian ice cream was my favorite flavor when I lived in Vietnam. 😋 And I used to live in Turkey, and love their dondurma (ice cream with sahlep, which makes it stretchy), so when I visited Malaysia, there was a street vendor selling Turkish-style ice cream with durian flavor…… 😋 I was in heaven, drooling just thinking about it!
I read that the smell of Durian is so offensive it's illegal to eat it on the subway in Tokyo & Singapore.. I've never had it myself so I can't atest to the smell
@@andyd9204 i wanted to show a picture i took yesterday of durian ice cream bat from yACO but youtube message doesnt allow cut and paste. But you can see them in Walmarts websites
Ube is my favorite ice cream flavor. We used to have a store that would sell it, and it even had little chunks of sweetened Ube in it. It's an ice cream flavor that needs to be everywhere. Also Halo-halo is so good.
I was seriously waiting for Tiger Tail from Canada to show up! Orange and licorice swirled together. I’ve had to make it myself to try it and it is sooooo good. Really wish it was in the US!
I read about that tiger's tail ice cream in Canada, it sounds a little strange mixture but I would def try it.. a lot of people in the U.S don't like black licorice, prefer red which isn't even licorice, so not sure if it would sell that well here, but I'm up fr trying it
That was my go to flavour, as a little kid at our local Baskin Robbins, as they were the only place that had it. I’ll be 50 in a few years, and I still love Tiger Tail. 😋
Suggestions: Doughnuts and dougnut like treats from around the world, i.e., churros from Mexico. Sweet treats found at fairs and carnivals, including those that are regional.
@shainahullihen1159 Weis Markets has it as one of their flavors. If you can find Yuengling ice cream, they also have teaberry. I think Turkey Hill has it too.
In the Philippines you will also find Durian, Mangosteen, Chili, Avocado, Calamansi, Cheese, Tilapia Fish, Bacon, Roast pig (Lechon), Red Horse (dark beer brand), Ostrich & Crocodile flavour, Green Mango & Salted shrimp, Salted Caramel, Cookies & Cream, to name a few of the more unusual flavours & of course coconut is a popular flavouring.
I plan to put woodruff in my herb garden, I love the smell when you run your fingers through the leaves...I will have to be sure to take out my ice cream maker once I harvest some!
I'm a Greek living in Sweden. Just a few hours ago, my daughter was telling me that she booked a journey to Greece where she plans to devour, among other things, mastic ice cream daily.
They sell Ube flavored Mochi at Walmart here. It was tasty but I preferred the Guava. Also, please buy yourself some Cardamom. It has the most beautiful, sweet tropical flavor! It's amazing in anything sweet.
I LOVE black licorice ice cream!! Hard to find. We used to stop a lot in Vermilion Alberta at an ice cream shop that had it. The local 4H used to make it as part of their ice creams they sold at the state fair. But alas, no more
If you go to Alberta often, Foothills Creamery in Calgary makes Black Licorice Ice Cream in the huge tubs for ice cream counters, they might be able to tell you who has it! Good luck!
@@13blackcatzzz I’m only about 3 hours from Spokane so if you are near there I’ll bring you some licorice ice cream the next time I cross into the States!
I loved that there were so many different flavours included. But you missed salty liquorice ice cream, which is often eaten in Scandinavia, especially Denmark. My absolut fave 😋
When I was in Boulder, Colorado, a few years ago, I stopped at an ice cream shop that listed "Vanilla Pinecone" among its flavors. I didn't try it, but I wish I had.
6:00 Carrot-juice? The couple of times I've tried Pesian ice-cream, it was either in sandwich-form between wafers, or served in a cup with pomegranates and/or a sort-of vermicelli noodles. Next time I see it somewhere, I'll have to ask about carrot-juice.
Here in Denton Texas we have a old fashioned ice cream parlor called beth Marie's and they make their own and they have flavors like apple pumpkin spice ice cream..and I think there's a soda pop ice cream pretty cool
Tamirind and rose water are my favorites. I used to get tamarind treats in Mexico, and there was a restaurant in Louisiana that made delicious rose water iced tea. Yummy
You mentioned ube ice cream, but in that area it's also not uncommon to have bits of shredded cheddar cheese in ube ice cream (I've also seen just. Cheese flavored ice cream in the same brand)
Flavored Kit Kats are not Left/Right, those are Twix. The flavors of all candy bars we have in US are milk, dark, white chocolates, and cookies and cream.
KitKat has been branching out recently. The mint-chocolate ones seem to have staying power, the key-lime ones were great, and they had a decent gingerbread one over the holidays. Flavored KitKats come and go like Oreo varieties.
Wow - I got the feeling that ube was gonna get a mention, here, as soon as the video started playing lol It's an excellent flavor/ingredient, in my experience - nutty, sweet, with a bit of mystery behind the color. I can't wait to try out all these other flavors - they all sound so amazing! Even the one with carrot juice!
In Brazil we have a lot of Amazonian and regional fruits that we use to flavor ice cream, açaí being the best of them, but my favorite isn't a fruit. It is tapioca ice cream, usually eaten in the North. It is hit or miss, though, as some companies and ice cream shops don't know how to do it right. But when they do, such as Cairu (an ice cream franchise in Northern Brazil), it is amazing.
When I was a kid and teen, at least one ice cream company had a Lemon Custard or Lemon flavor. Instead of very tart, it did hae a custard sweet flavor with the lemon. It was great, but I haven't been able to find it in the 2000's and after. I miss it! There's a blueberry cheesecake ice cream, which I think is a store brand, which I like, and I've had a pumpkin spice ice cream (holiday season store brand) that was also good. -- Also, I personally dislike truffles, so truffle anything, including ice cream, is out.
Do you mean actual, dig out of the ground, truffles? Or the rolled balls of chocolate ganache coated in cocoa powder that are called "truffles" because they look like the expensive fungus? They are two very different things...in ice cream they tend to be referring to the chocolate confection.
I used to live in Malaysia, when I was very young. Mum said I would go nuts for pisang mas and pisang hijau. I wish they were readily available outside SE Asia, or I had the chance to return to Malaysia; I'd like to try them again.

Worth mentioning are some flavors that were popular in the west in the past but are now largely forgotten, like parmesan cheese or cucumber ice cream.
Tasting Hitory with Max Miller has a video and recipe for making parmesan ice cream, as well a brief history.
Parmesan ice cream sounds good.
I’d buy Parmesan ice cream. Wish we had more cheese and meat flavored snacks in the US
@@ecmarks438 Max seemed very surprised with that flavour, I seem to remember, lol! I should watch it again!
Cucumber basil sorbet is delicious! I used to make it at my old job years ago.
These traditional flavors help us go back in history and appreciate the roots or origins of these food items. Thanks for this video. It's very useful.
Entertaining as well
I am a big fan of pistachio ice cream, so I would be willing to try the Persian ice cream with rose water and pistachio.
It's soooo delicious
I love tamarindo/tamarind. In Puerto Rico we make frozen treats called limbel or make juice from it. I prefer it a little more tart than sweet but however you like it, it's delicious 😋.
Passion fruit... I miss some helado de parcha.

Can you guys do a video on snow cones/ save ice/ raspados? It’s so cool that a lot of different cultures have them

Tamarind is legit. I had it on nearly every sweet when I lived in Mexico.
I should also add that a lot of Mexican ice cream tends to not have milk in it. So think more of an icy texture than creamy.
Yum!

yeah, I love black walnut ice cream too! Not a lot of places have it.
Hell, you hardly see black walnut ANYTHING, these days! Shame.
Sadly, it's likely because of a fungal infection plaguing walnut and butternut trees in Eastern North America.

Durian ice cream was my favorite flavor when I lived in Vietnam. 😋 And I used to live in Turkey, and love their dondurma (ice cream with sahlep, which makes it stretchy), so when I visited Malaysia, there was a street vendor selling Turkish-style ice cream with durian flavor…… 😋 I was in heaven, drooling just thinking about it!
That must be a really aged durian, because it smells the same to me, fruit, candy or ice cream
I read that the smell of Durian is so offensive it's illegal to eat it on the subway in Tokyo & Singapore.. I've never had it myself so I can't atest to the smell
@@andyd9204 i wanted to show a picture i took yesterday of durian ice cream bat from yACO but youtube message doesnt allow cut and paste. But you can see them in Walmarts websites
I really wish I liked durian because the texture is so nice, but it smells and tastes like a compost pile to me
When I was a kid in the 1990`s I used to put cacao powder on my vanilla ice cream
Growing up in a half Filipino family exposed me to ube in the form of a cake roll and I LOOOOOOVE it! I really wanna try ube ice cream now
I'm telling you now: you probably won't go back to any other ice cream flavor after experiencing ube lol
Mastic and rose are a clasic flavour combination to put together in the same cone. And I also think pistachio works well with them. Yummyyy
Mastic has been used for thousands of years, some scientists consider it the 1st chewing gum
Red beans ice cream was once popular in Puerto Rico also coconut
7:00 Kinako (黄な粉) means yellow FLOUR, not flower..
Ube is my favorite ice cream flavor. We used to have a store that would sell it, and it even had little chunks of sweetened Ube in it. It's an ice cream flavor that needs to be everywhere. Also Halo-halo is so good.
I was seriously waiting for Tiger Tail from Canada to show up! Orange and licorice swirled together. I’ve had to make it myself to try it and it is sooooo good. Really wish it was in the US!
I read about that tiger's tail ice cream in Canada, it sounds a little strange mixture but I would def try it.. a lot of people in the U.S don't like black licorice, prefer red which isn't even licorice, so not sure if it would sell that well here, but I'm up fr trying it
I just commented about tiger tail!
That was my go to flavour, as a little kid at our local Baskin Robbins, as they were the only place that had it. I’ll be 50 in a few years, and I still love Tiger Tail. 😋
Mmm that sounds delicious!
I'd try it, but I'm averse to liquorice, so I might not like it. But I'd give it a go!
the mispronunciation of paleta and halo halo hurt me lmfao
Suggestions: Doughnuts and dougnut like treats from around the world, i.e., churros from Mexico.
Sweet treats found at fairs and carnivals, including those that are regional.
Krapfen/Berliner from germany
Fried Koolaid ^.^
Here in Pennsylvania, we have teaberry ice cream. It tastes like a minty berry, though some liken it to Pepto Bismol.
@indyfan45, what stores have teaberry ice cream? I too live in PA and want to try it. It sounds so pretty and yummy.
@shainahullihen1159 Weis Markets has it as one of their flavors. If you can find Yuengling ice cream, they also have teaberry. I think Turkey Hill has it too.
" ... it's also littered with ..."
Maaaaaybe not the best term to use when referring to food.
In the Philippines you will also find Durian, Mangosteen, Chili, Avocado, Calamansi, Cheese, Tilapia Fish, Bacon, Roast pig (Lechon), Red Horse (dark beer brand), Ostrich & Crocodile flavour, Green Mango & Salted shrimp, Salted Caramel, Cookies & Cream, to name a few of the more unusual flavours & of course coconut is a popular flavouring.
Not to forget Waldmeister (sweet woodruff) from Germany.
I plan to put woodruff in my herb garden, I love the smell when you run your fingers through the leaves...I will have to be sure to take out my ice cream maker once I harvest some!
I'm a Greek living in Sweden. Just a few hours ago, my daughter was telling me that she booked a journey to Greece where she plans to devour, among other things, mastic ice cream daily.
They sell Ube flavored Mochi at Walmart here. It was tasty but I preferred the Guava. Also, please buy yourself some Cardamom. It has the most beautiful, sweet tropical flavor! It's amazing in anything sweet.
I LOVE black licorice ice cream!! Hard to find. We used to stop a lot in Vermilion Alberta at an ice cream shop that had it. The local 4H used to make it as part of their ice creams they sold at the state fair. But alas, no more
Back in '89, when the "Batman" movie came out, a local ice cream shop advertised "Batman ice cream" -- black licorice with yellow marshmallows.
If you go to Alberta often, Foothills Creamery in Calgary makes Black Licorice Ice Cream in the huge tubs for ice cream counters, they might be able to tell you who has it! Good luck!
@@clarissathompson Even though I'm a dual citizen, I can't get back into Canada cause I have a DUI. ☹️😞
@@13blackcatzzz I’m only about 3 hours from Spokane so if you are near there I’ll bring you some licorice ice cream the next time I cross into the States!
@@clarissathompson gurrl....let me know! It's a distinct possibility as my best friend EVER lives there!!! I'm in Montana!!
I loved that there were so many different flavours included. But you missed salty liquorice ice cream, which is often eaten in Scandinavia, especially Denmark. My absolut fave 😋
There was a place in the next town over that had a lovely black sesame & roasted wakame ice cream on their menu.
When I was in Boulder, Colorado, a few years ago, I stopped at an ice cream shop that listed "Vanilla Pinecone" among its flavors. I didn't try it, but I wish I had.
6:00 Carrot-juice? The couple of times I've tried Pesian ice-cream, it was either in sandwich-form between wafers, or served in a cup with pomegranates and/or a sort-of vermicelli noodles. Next time I see it somewhere, I'll have to ask about carrot-juice.
Ube ice cream is one of my favourite flavours, we also have corn and cheese ice cream in the Philippines
In turkey we have Tahini ice cream which I love
Here in Denton Texas we have a old fashioned ice cream parlor called beth Marie's and they make their own and they have flavors like apple pumpkin spice ice cream..and I think there's a soda pop ice cream pretty cool
Tamirind and rose water are my favorites. I used to get tamarind treats in Mexico, and there was a restaurant in Louisiana that made delicious rose water iced tea. Yummy
I’ve never wanted something more then black sesame ice cream.
You mentioned ube ice cream, but in that area it's also not uncommon to have bits of shredded cheddar cheese in ube ice cream (I've also seen just. Cheese flavored ice cream in the same brand)
Flavored Kit Kats are not Left/Right, those are Twix. The flavors of all candy bars we have in US are milk, dark, white chocolates, and cookies and cream.
KitKat has been branching out recently. The mint-chocolate ones seem to have staying power, the key-lime ones were great, and they had a decent gingerbread one over the holidays. Flavored KitKats come and go like Oreo varieties.
Isn't left vs right the Twix debate? Also, I've seen many varieties of Kit Kat: Mint, Key Lime, Strawberry...
Green tea Kit Kat as well
My husband is from the Caribbean and his favorite flavor is peanut ice cream. Not peanut butter, just peanut.
Your pronunciation of halohalo is adorable haha
@ ncserran If I’m not mistaken, it’s “Haul-Oh Haul-Oh”. (Had Pinot friends).
As an American I can only say, "Ew."
Orange is simple but still an underrated ice cream flavor.
Lemon even more so.
Ever see "tiger-tail ice-cream"? It's a Canadian ice-cream with orange and black-licorice. 🤢 Freaking Canadians.
We in the US would usually eat orange as a sherbet rather than an ice cream.
Yea, the acid makes it pretty hard to make.
@@I.____.....__...__ lol, I just got my granddaughter hooked on Tiger Tail! If you like licorice all sorts candies, it's the ice cream for you!
My fave growing up was orange chocolate chip 😊
Pear flavored popcicles with vanilla ice cream center.
I buy tamarind candy, and Jarritos from time to time, it's definitely worth a try.
Very interesting video!!! I kinda wanna try all these different flavors.
7:34 - that’s Twix, not KitKat
Oh, I definitely gotta try black sesame ice cream. I'll make my own nirigoma if I have to
That Ube purple color is interesting. Is it similar in flavor to a sweet potato? It would make in interesting sweet potato pie being so purple.
It does I’ve made the marshmallow sweet potato casserole but with Ube
Some of these are making their way into US ice creams, in my experience. I've seen ube, rose and black sesame.
Some US markets, its going to be a hard sell in the south and other such places.
@@BeyondDaX oh, definitely. I live in the Midwest and it's definitely something you find in places that cater to more adventurous eaters probably
@@BeyondDaX Unless it's Karo and Sweet Tea flavoured. 😉
Corn, ice cream with cinnamon... I haven't had it in 7 years.
Mamey is a very popular ice cream flavor in Mexico. I haven't seen it anywhere in the US.
You forgot the fruit of durian from the southeast Asia region in the Philippines durian flavor ice cream are a favorite in the down South.
Wow - I got the feeling that ube was gonna get a mention, here, as soon as the video started playing lol
It's an excellent flavor/ingredient, in my experience - nutty, sweet, with a bit of mystery behind the color.
I can't wait to try out all these other flavors - they all sound so amazing! Even the one with carrot juice!
In Brazil we have a lot of Amazonian and regional fruits that we use to flavor ice cream, açaí being the best of them, but my favorite isn't a fruit. It is tapioca ice cream, usually eaten in the North. It is hit or miss, though, as some companies and ice cream shops don't know how to do it right. But when they do, such as Cairu (an ice cream franchise in Northern Brazil), it is amazing.
She’s back…yay
Mmmmmm, our local Gelato shop makes an ube one. So good.
One of my favourite non-traditional flavours is maple bacon.
When I was a kid and teen, at least one ice cream company had a Lemon Custard or Lemon flavor. Instead of very tart, it did hae a custard sweet flavor with the lemon. It was great, but I haven't been able to find it in the 2000's and after. I miss it!
There's a blueberry cheesecake ice cream, which I think is a store brand, which I like, and I've had a pumpkin spice ice cream (holiday season store brand) that was also good.
-- Also, I personally dislike truffles, so truffle anything, including ice cream, is out.
there's actually a US federal law that if you call a lemon ice cream lemon custard it has to contain egg yolk
Do you mean actual, dig out of the ground, truffles? Or the rolled balls of chocolate ganache coated in cocoa powder that are called "truffles" because they look like the expensive fungus? They are two very different things...in ice cream they tend to be referring to the chocolate confection.
I’m Puerto Rico they sell corn and grape flavored ice cream. It is so good.
I like the flavor of tamarind.A old friend who was from Mexico gave me my first tamarind soda.Ive loved the flavor ever since
Aside from Ube, you may also find Wild Chili ice cream and Tilapia flavored ice cream in the Philippines.
I don't think I could handle fish flavored ice cream.....
I think the Alaskan variety is NOT an ice-cream!
Come to SE Asia - particularly Malaysia - for Durian ice cream. Durian is the undisputed King of Fruit in SE Asia.
I used to live in Malaysia, when I was very young. Mum said I would go nuts for pisang mas and pisang hijau. I wish they were readily available outside SE Asia, or I had the chance to return to Malaysia; I'd like to try them again.
