Interesting ice cream flavors continued:

This seems to go hand in hand with the Japanese Ice Cream thread from the Health & Fitness Board the other day:

There is nothing vanilla about Jackie Bell's line of ice cream. Avocado, red beans and jackfruit flavors. How about durian, taro or mung bean ice cream on a stick?
...
Durian, jackfruit and red beans often serve as the foundation for desserts in Vietnam, China and Thailand. And avocado is often used in dessert drinks in Vietnam.

Nothing like revisiting this topic...

Well, I've finally tasted the Haagen-Dazs Green Tea ice cream here in Korea. Of all places, I purchased it at the American grocery store on the installation! It's got an international label on it so I'm thinking it's supposed to be for foreign markets only. It's made in France--which was astonishing as up until now the only place I've really had the green tea ice cream has been in Asian markets in Asian cities apart from a couple of tiny single serving tubs of it in specialty grocery stores in the US.

Anyway, it's strong on the tea flavor--stronger than the other brands I've tasted in the past. It's also REALLY, REALLY green! The other ones we've tried have been a 'milder' green--along the lines of green pistachio ice cream color.

It's good though--of course, anything with 260 cals and 16g of fat in a serving SHOULD be good. ;) I also found the Haagen-Dazs Light Dutch Chocolate ice cream and it's incredible, too! It only has 5g of fat per serving but it's soooo worth it!

Wife and I just made a fruit smoothie using four cups worth of fresh jackfruit (from a "small" jackfruit - only weighing 12 pounds), two apples, celery, juice from three limes, low-fat vanilla yogurt, a little margarita sweet and sour mix (no alcohol) and some ice. All four of us are thoroughly enjoying it!! Yummy!!!!
We will also cook the nuts to eat those and will cook the flesh to act as vegetarian pulled pork for sandwiches.
