The talk of ice cream and all you think of is a frozen dessert prepared from milk, cream and flavored with your favorite food elements such as chocolates, fruits or nuts. Roasted almonds, butterscotch, tutti-fruity, rum and raisins, chocolate chips, vanilla, strawberry, praline are just some of the many well-admired ice cream flavors that are sure to tempt anybody into eating loads of ice cream.

Little could anyone imagine of preparing this popular dessert with vegetables or spices let alone meat or seafood. However, you will be amazed to know that the Japanese have gone ahead and tried the unusual blend of all the unimaginable ingredients to come up with some of the most bizarre ice cream flavors you could think of. Some of the following strange ice cream flavors are sure to make many people sick or even turn them away from ice cream so I recommend that you read further at your own risk.

So here is the list of the most bizarre ice cream flavors.
1.) Fish ice cream: A mixture of brandy and saury, well-liked salt water fish in Japan. Well if you thought it would be difficult to handle the smell of fish in ice cream then don’t worry I guess the brandy should take care of it.

2.) Octopus ice cream: Now this is one bizarre ice cream flavor. The Japanese have been able to churn out a lot of delicacies from octopus but no one could imagine them blending it with dairy products to come up with a weird ice cream flavor.

3.) Squid ice cream: Well, this is sure to give the octopus ice cream a tough competition. I relished the squid butter-garlic fry I had in Goa but personally, I would never have eaten an ice cream with squid in it.

4.) Ox tongue ice cream: If you thought the use of seafood for making weird ice cream flavors was the ultimate peculiarity you had experienced, then you are mistaken. I thought tongues and testicles were better off being deep-fried and relished with sauces. What is an ox tongue doing in the ice cream?

5.) Sweet potato ice cream: Now, the Japanese consider the sweet potato a major cause of flatulence then why the hell did they think of making an ice cream with it.

6.) Fried eggplant ice cream: The Japanese love their eggplant and since it was already in their pizza toppings and sandwiches, there is little to wonder they decide to include it in their ice cream as well.

7.) Wasabi ice cream: The piquant sauce served with sushi also finds its use in preparation of a bizarre ice cream flavor.

8.) Nagoya noodle ice cream: Noodles were a main course meal but thanks to the creators of this ice cream they are now even in the dessert.

9.) Chicken wing ice cream: Well, if you thought only main course recipes could make their way into dessert, then the chicken wing ice cream exemplifies the use of a fried starter in the dessert. At least that is what the frozen dessert tastes like. It seems you are digging into a fried chicken wing but only at the end of your meal.

10.) Cactus ice cream: Now instead of tickle your taste buds with ice cream you should say prick your taste buds with ice cream. Nevertheless, the ice cream is smooth and stimulating so, you can try it.

11.) Raw horseflesh ice cream: You are bound to find chunks of horsemeat in this ice cream. My opinion is dig in it at your own risk.

12.) Goat ice cream: Now this ice cream does not only consist of goat milk but also quite a few parts of rest of the goat.

13.) Deep-sea water ice cream: How would a combination of milk, water and salt in your mouth taste? You will know what it tastes like once you consume this ice cream.

14.) Spinach ice cream: This ice cream would have received thumbs up from Popeye but not thumbs up from me.

15.) Wheat ice cream: Never imagined the ingredient used to prepare a lot of breads could find its way into an ice cream as well. However, it is worth a try.

16.) Soy sauce ice cream: An inseparable ingredient of many Japanese recipes the use of soy sauce has now been extended to flavoring ice cream.

17.) Pit viper ice cream: The pit viper considered one of the most venomous snakes found in Japan is said to possess aphrodisiac properties according to the Japanese. However, it its use in ice cream is not much of turn on though.

18.) Charcoal ice cream: Who could have imagined that charcoal could be used in ice cream but thanks to the Japanese it has been utilized to come up with an intriguing ice cream flavor.

19.) Tomato ice cream: Have you ever tried frozen ketchup with milk? Well, that is how one would describe the tomato ice cream.

20.) Natural viagra ice cream: Whoa, now this is exciting! I wonder what would happen after consuming it.

Well, all these weird flavors of ice cream have been created in Japan but that does not mean the other regions of the world do not have weird ice cream flavors to offer. This blog featured the exciting yet strange flavors from Japan exclusively because they piqued my curiosity like nothing else ever did.

Souffle is an incredible baked dish relished the world over. It can be prepared as a savory main course dish or as a rich dessert. Whichever way it is prepared, the single most important ingredient are eggs. How well your souffle turns out depends upon how skillfully you have whisked the egg whites until they are stiff. Folding the egg whites then into the cream base consisting of cheese, chocolate, lemon, herbs or any flavor that you wish to enjoy and then baking gives you a fluffy souffle.

A freshly baked souffle has a fluffy top. It is recommended you consume the souffle within minutes of its being pulled out of the oven as its fluffiness may give away due sinking of the top in a way similar to how a risen dough sinks.

Chocolate is one of my all-time favorite food elements. There is no limit to ways one can think of including chocolate in their food. Therefore, to keep up to the same you can go about preparing a tempting dark chocolate souffle.

Follow this recipe to arrive at a pleasurable dark chocolate souffle.

Ingredients:

Egg whites - 3
Egg yolks - 2
Thick cream - 3-4 tbsp
Dark chocolate (chopped to pieces) - 100 gms
Castor Sugar - 2 tbsp
Butter - 3 tsp

Method:

1.) In a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Pull off the stove.
2.) To this add butter and cream. Mix well. Now to this add the yolks and mix well.
3.) In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until you get soft or drooping peaks. Once this stage is reached, add the sugar and now beat again until you get stiff or straight peaks.
4.) Now fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture not all at once but little by little.
5.) Take 2-3 ramekins and grease them with little butter. Pour the batter into the ramekins until 3/4th of the ramekin is full.
6.) Bake at 200C for 15 minutes in preheated oven. You will notice how much the souffle has risen during the baking.
7.) Once baking is over you can have the souffle straight out of the ramekin or you can remove the souffle carefully in a dessert dish. Whatever you do make sure you do it within 5-10 minutes else the souffle will start sinking.
