Ice Cream is one of the best things mankind has ever created. The cold, delicious treat is perfect at anytime of the year. It truly does not matter what the weather outside is like — it could be snowing and freezing cold or sunny and warm and we could still eat gallons of the stuff. However, there are countries all across the world, hundreds of them, that have very different tastes than the rest us. These countries have managed to create some of the most disgusting, weirdest ice cream flavors known to man. Here are nine of the weirdest flavors ever concocted.

Of course, Japan has some of the weirdest flavors of absolutely everything, so it makes sense they would develop a Deep Fried Oyster Ice Cream. It looks like regular vanilla, but features two fried oysters popping out from the cone.
