200 unusual Ice-creams of the last decade

[squirmelia]

This is the year I finally decided to put unusual ice-cream flavours I ate into a spreadsheet, with the year(s) I ate them and locations. There are about 200 of them, from the last decade. I included sorbets, but not ice-lollies. Also wasn't sure about things like ice-cream with a katsu curry sauce, or ice-cream profiteroles, and some of these flavours are very similar, like green grass and cut grass, and four slightly differently named pumpkin flavours.

My plan is to eat more usual flavours and add those to the list too, and probably add flavours I can remember eating but can't remember when, including before my records began, such as Christmas tree flavour.

I absolutely love this. Port with a stilton ripple is genius. What did Breakfast in Turin taste of? And how did they translate “faintly glowing”, “naughty”, and “opera” into flavours? (I thought kulfi was a style rather than a flavour though.)

[squirmelia]

Breakfast in Turin was coffee and chocolate chip, from Gelatorino in London.

Faintly glowing - That wasn't actually the name, but can't remember what it tasted of, maybe vanilla, but the exciting thing was that it glowed, but it only glowed very slightly. I wasn't sure whether to put that one on the list really, but given the glowing nature, felt like I should. This was possibly at SCOOP: A Wonderful Ice Cream World, which appeared briefly in 2018, and had some interesting flavours and experiences.

Naughty. I think this one I ate in Reading, but it wasn't very good. Maybe that was what was naughty about it.

Opera was a flavour I ate in Venice. Can't remember exactly what it was, but it was a good flavour, with chocolate and hazelnut in it. Would eat again.

Kulfi, yes, I think normally it's a style, but I remember the place had one labelled "kulfi" amongst other standard flavours.. maybe it was just cream kulfi?

Interesting, thanks! Glowing ice cream definitely belongs on the list.

Your ice cream quest is a regular source of joy for me. Congratulations on 200+ flavours!

Thank you! I am enjoying looking at the list of flavours and also remembering where I had some of them. Baked bean, obviously London, but roast potato in Munich, and Marie biscuit in Panama!

This is awesome!
