I've seen some of the flavors and heard they taste just like the name.

hmmm, I'd be up for catus ice cream.

I'd probably puke on over half of the flavors.

I love sweet potatoes. They sell them on the street in Japan, yummy.

moyashi

Sep 10, 2002, 02:41

Yeah, but as ice cream? Hot they're great but frozen, I don't know ...

Olivia

Sep 10, 2002, 03:42

i've tried the tomorokoshi ice, it's very good!!! actually, we've got this in brazil, you can find it mostly anywhere.

about the other flavors... urgh! i guess i'd puke too... hahahaha!

but one thing that is delicious is the maccha ice (not listed above!), or the kaki-goori with maccha..... hmmm.... yummy!!

I've tried garlic ice cream, it's even worse than it sounds.

Hehe, I'm sure such food stuff is forbidden by EU law. I didn't even know that ox tongue is eaten in Japan.

moyashi

Sep 11, 2002, 00:55

I don't know if it's ox or not but tongue is very popular at yakiniku restaurants.

beef tongue is semipopular here...you can find it in stores, but not in too many restaurants.

@ garlic ice-cream, I love garlic, but only in hot dishes,, in ice-cream:eek:

Being a garbage man in the summer in Chicago, I saw a lot of nasty things...also...the whole child birth thing...woof.

I missed out on the child thing :(

@missed out.

If you don't have a strong stomach...you don't want to see childbirth. I love hack'm up movies, but seeing it in really life on someone you love is a different story.

ohhh, I see. Maybe it's best then since they did a C-sect on her. I don't know if I could've taken the blood gushing and what not.

@ birth,( a personal thought,, not a place for a man).

@ ice-cream, I'v been thinking about this quite a bit, and those listed ice-creams are awful, There is no-way they should be described as an ice-cream, maybe iced garlic, iced octopuss ect, but not ice-cream, what do you all think??

moyashi

Sep 14, 2002, 00:04

@ ice-cream ... hmmm .. yeah ;)

@ birth
I'll trust the pros on this one ...

:D
you're right, deborah, ice cream is not an appropriate name for these things!

@ Oliviaa blueberry yogurt ice cream Ohh! that sounds delicious:happy: I once tasted a nice and sweet melon frozen yogurt, and now my mouth is watering:silly: lol ahhh well, the blueberry one sounds a lot nicer, I'm going to have to go shopping for that one:bow:

Sep 17, 2002, 23:09

I'm sorry. I can't resist. I think I can top all your gross eating ones. I read in a book once the advise that women have their babies at home and that the most healthful thing to eat after having a baby was the placenta. They recommended cooking it with onions, like liver. What kind of person tried that out?!!!

I'm with you - I'll stick to blueberry frozen yogurt!

moyashi

Sep 18, 2002, 01:06

hmmm ... I'll stick with blueberry ;)

I know that carnivorous animals eat the placenta after birth. But human placenta...? Was that a 17th century book on alchemy or witchcraft you've read?

Blueberries, yes please.

Sep 18, 2002, 03:40

No, it was a hippie self-help book. It was about natural remedies or some such thing. I don't remember exactly. It was disgusting! I think they even suggested what to serve it with - mashed potatoes or something. They said that it provided exactly the nutrients that the new mother would need. You know what? Give me a vitamen suppliment any day!

deborah gormley

Sep 18, 2002, 06:23

yuck!!! I'd eat, corn,octapus, squid,fish,ox tongue,cactus, eel, and finally sweet potatoe ice-creams all mixed up in one plate, a hell of a lot faster that placenta and mashed potato, lol:sick: :sick: :sick:

yes and I'd like to know who tryed this and studied this lol, thats gross!!:D

Olivia

Sep 18, 2002, 07:17

:mad: ERGH!!!!
this 'placenta meal' sounds so... desgusting! how could somebody eat such thing in the 20th century?!...

yeah... once again, blueberry... ;)

Alex

Sep 19, 2002, 09:23

I swear I didn't make this up! I bought the book because there was a lot of information on natural healing and such. I didn't notice this recommendation until I had the book home. I couldn't believe what I read. I'm with you. Give me blueberry any day. The funny thing was that the book was geared to the vegetarian, health-food, natural-living group. VEGETARIANS! (I'm one, but not the kind that eats that stuff.) They just had some weird ideas.

Do they make tomato ice cream? That doesn't sound TOO bad. For me anyway, being a tomato-addict. And I wonder what that cactus ice cream tastes like... there's this one drink (http://www.bevnet.com/images/reviews/snapple_elements/elements-rain.jpg) made with cactus nectar, and it's really good.

I think Chinese people may have done that too. For me, I like to eat pig's placenta. It's nice and crunchy. Indeed, it's stir-fried with spring onion and ginger slice. Sounds disgusting huh? Chinese people eat anything that walks on the earth. Not proud of it though. Guess that's how SARS and bird flu came about. However, I still think eating pig innards are fine as they are not from the wild.

EEwww, placenta...extra-weird

I actually had sweet-potato-icecream in Kamakura! I liked it! Sweet potatoes are delicious anyway and my friend often made them for dessert with apples and yoghurt..oishiii....
So why not as icecream???

But did you try raw horsemeat, uma no sashimi???

I've tried sweet potato ice cream too - down in Ibutsuki, Kagoshima-ken. It was yum!
I've also tried raw horse - basashi- I'm not a fan of that, but hubby eats it. I like raw chicken though - so nice with garlic. Haven't eaten it since the bird flu broke out a couple of hours away from here though.....

cactus is good.. mmmm geeeeewd!

eel and octopus ice-cream? that sounds like something that should have never been invented! who would be stupid enough to think "hey, lets put the tako in the blender and smack some icecream in there!"??

I tried some Wasabi Ice from a place down near Mt Fuji. It was actually quite an interesting combination, the wasabi gave it a subtle yet noticable flavour, any heat was, of course, taken care of by the sweet ice cream (Im assuming it started life as plain vanilla). If anyone gets the chance I would recommend it!!!!

Geez... these ice cream flavors are just way past gross! :mad: :sick: :mad:

Over here, we have something called "Zungenwurst" ("Zunge" is "tongue", and "wurst" in this case is some kind of sliced sausage-meat) which has pork tongues as one of its ingredients. Doesn't taste too bad, but I'm not terribly fond of it either.

Daniel

Zungenwurst is actually alright.

You name it and I've just about had it...I like to try things at least once and honestly I've never had a bad ice cream flavor in Japan....The Cactus and Beef tongue ones are actually quite good. Just because it says one thing don't let it get to you. :wave:

Well, those kind of "special tastes" can't be as bad as eating insects... Actually I can't say, cause I ate none.
I heard that here in France someone made carott ice cream, cheese (camembert) ice cream... You know, cheese that some people when it is almost liquid and smell like a WW2 GI's sock (sorry for the image :p). I am French but I am not keen on smelling cheese.

I love cheese myself and yes, French cheese can stink (no offense) but it tastes great. Camembert and Brie....makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Well, my father is one of these who prefers camembert in near-liquid-state with the smell that goes with it :mad:
Due to ongoing protests from my mother and me though, he did get better.
I only like it when it's very fresh.

Well, if you keep it in the fridge, you can keep it well. Cheese will stay fresh, won't become liquid and can make more crust (but it is not so terrible).
But if you don't keep it in the fridge ... well ... here is when it becomes almost liquid (like my grand parents like it), it starts smelling on the second day you keep it. Here you can't keep it as long as in the fridge.

Yes, me too, I only can eat it fresh.

About Ice Cream, I get totally crazy when I enter an Italian Ice Cream shop with around 30 or 50 different tastes. If you take a 10 tasts cup, when you arrive at the 8th or 9th, you can't decide because you know it is last one you can take, and you want them all :bravo: :-) :cool:

I don't think bird flu has anything to do with what the Chinese eat, but rather to do with the hygiene standards.

That list by Thomas is just unbelievable, the one that I would try is sweet potatoes ice-cream, the rest just sounds too weird.:bikkuri:

Sweet Potato ice cream would be yummy, they put it in bread rolls and crossoints here.

I love dipping french fries into chocolate icecream.

I've made Sweet Potato ice cream a few times and it is very good, i also make a Cream Cheese ice cream some times and it is very good too. I'd like to try the Egg Plant ice cream and the Cactus ice cream. I'm a cheese fanatic and i would have to agree with the grandfather but i eat it fresh too.
