Casandra, I am just back. I stayed a day longer than I had planned. . had discovered 'Icecream' city and stayed for that. It's there in Ikebukuro .. not that big but the cup icecream museum had every weird flavor of icecreams - just name any and they have it. My childhood dream came true and I finally had the Turkish icecream.. . but was not that impressive though. One more day left for holidays and tomorrow will be going cycling to Onomichi.. . . U sure must be knowing 'Onomichi ramen'

..my "extreme" ice-cream this year was the liquorice ice-cream (with quite a lot of salty liquorice, i.e. Ammonium chloride) in Sweden, not bad....
Paul
O! I liked swedish liqourice.. but never had an icecream of that flavor.
Newman
liquorice is one of those things you either love or hate. opposite to you guys, i can't stand its flavour
newton
yeah, TJ. Also the Japanese feel the same. Few colleagues went to Sweden and brought them as souviniers for everyone in our dept. . no one liked them . . and I really liked them. . the result was that I got to eat all of them
Newbie
as Salty liquorice pastilles you can buy them here too. But ice-cream was also new for me...weird but from time to time not bad...
veteran
i guess it is also related to the flavours you're used to as a kid. salty ice cream.... don't know about that one hobs...
oldie
..but they are not only salty it's a mix from normal liquorice and Ammonium chloride, a special taste....
here you get them as small dark "rhombus" that you eat like candies (and are quite tasty if you eat not too much):
