Weird Icecream Flavors
I recently took a short trip to Osaka to visit my friend Alex and get a new visa at the Chinese consulate. The most interesting part of the trip was the strange ice cream from all over Japan that we got at the Osaka Ice Cream Expo. The seaweed ice cream was the most interesting, and actually tasted very good. The cactus ice cream was pretty weird, as was the chicken wing ice cream. Alex ate oyster ice cream, and also bought a container of beef tongue ice cream, although he hadn't eaten it by the time I left. Some more normal and very delicious varieties I tried include black tea ice cream, honey ice cream, and chai ice cream. I was greatly disappointed that the garlic ice cream was sold out, so I didn't get a chance to try it. Maybe next summer.

Yeah, they had wasabi ice cream there too, but I don't think I need to even try that to know it's not going to be good.

I finally tried the beef tongue ice cream. Actually, I shared it with a classroom of Japanese high school kids. We all had a little. It was decent. I can't say it tasted wonderful, but it didn't taste bad either. The kids thought about the same. We also tried an ice cream made of lots of little tiny fish. That one wasn't so popular. Tasted too much like fish. Somehow, I think red meat goes okay with ice cream, but fish doesn't go so well.

In The World Is Flat, Friedman stated:"The perspective and predispositions that you carry around in your head are very important in shaping what you see and what you don't see..." I suppose this is true with what you feel taste good or yacky, in ice cream and any thing else you eat.
Beef tongue icecream, I wonder if it is as tasty as beef tongue cooked in 鲁汁！
