We All Scream For Ice Cream

But probably not for some of the flavours that are out there. Such as Squid or Soy Sauce. Mind you, I wouldn’t mind trying the wasabi ice cream mentioned in that second link.
 
One of the most memorable ice creams I’ve had is currently on the menu at Dekxels. It’s a mango-chilli ice cream, which is served with a warm basil tea and a mango fruit shake. You put a serving of the ice cream onto a chinese spoon, pour on the tea and eat it. The warmth of the tea, combined with the coldness of the ice, plus the mingling of the flavours of the basil and the mango, with the last sensation being the kick of the chilli is quite extraordinary.

    I keep meaning to try and recreate the green tea ice cream in the passion fruit(?) soup I had at Dekxels.A chain of gourmet creamaries over here, Coldstone, recently had a wasabi flavor that I believe has been discontinued. Unfortunately, it didn’t translate as well into ice cream as I would have liked. Maybe with the right sauces and accompaniments…

    Good luck with the recreation – let me know how it goes. Pity about the wasabi ice – it sounded intriguing. Still, there’s always Jones’ Soda – with its Brussels Sprout flavour, I suppose: http://www.jonessoda.com/files_new/turkey05.html
