"strange ice cream flavors" news and stories

Last week, I posted about a web-based generator for typical Chinese restaurant names. In that same vein, here's The Ice Cream Flavor Generator. Unlike the Chinese restaurant generator, this one lacks the up-front disclaimer that "this is a stupid PHP program." The Ice Cream Flavor Generator isn't stupid; it's just similar, and a little more complex. Tell it whether you want fruit, mixed or non-fruit ice cream; how complex you want it; whether it can be gross and weird (no fun if it isn't, right?) and then choose from the following themes: monkeys, outerspace or undersea. I came up with "Old-fashioned Sausage Rubber Gelato" and "Ultimate Barbary Ape Delight."

This is fun and all (sort of), but I think I prefer strange ice creams that are real. Here's a good gallery that includes such flavor favorites as chicken wing and octopus. Here's another with ox tongue (pictured here), fried eggplant, and cactus.
