I received this photo via email. I am not sure it’s actually from Japan…

I also think the ice cream cone just accidentally looks like that. Still… it’s a funny photo and I decided to share it with you guys.

If the examples of Japanese ice creams didn’t make you throw up… well, there’s always more where that came from.

Tomato Ice Cream

Let’s start with something harmless. We’ll work our way up, okay?

Potato Ice Cream

Indian Curry Ice Cream

Salad Ice Cream

Getting uneasy yet? There’s more.

Garlic Ice Cream

Tulip Ice Cream

Silk Ice Cream

Charcoal Ice Cream

Goat Ice Cream

It’s made from goat milk and actual goat bits…

Hot Springs Ice Cream

To fully appreciate this one, you have to realize that Japan’s famous hot springs are volcanic in nature. What does volcanic water smells like? Yes, you got it.

Pit Viper Ice Cream

It’s an extremely poisonous snake. And if the snake didn’t kill you, the ice cream probably will.

Squid Ink Ice Cream

Squid Guts Ice Cream

Whale Ice Cream

When I was in Kuala Lumpur, I had some Malaysian ice cream. It was not what I had expected, but despite the weird colors the ice wasn’t bad at all.

The Japanese, however, manage to top it all, by providing the strangest flavors I have ever heard of.

Crab

Deep Sea Water

Eel

Fish

Raw Horse Meat

Octopus

Oxe Tongue

Note the tongue on the oxe illustration.

Shark Fin Noodle

Wasabi
