If you grew up in Singapore, chances are you've spent countless time pestering your parents to let you grab an ice-cream cone from the ice-cream man each time he popped by and started ringing the chiming bell. While such ice-cream cones no longer cost a flat $1 a pop and they come in tinier portions that they used to, most of us still have a special spot reserved for ice-cream in our hearts.
Be it Team Chocolate or Team Vanilla, ice-cream flavours that are available today all over the world are aplenty, so much so that we often have a tough time picking what we want. Here, we at GET.com present you with some of the world's most interesting ice-cream flavours. Which one would you try first?
3 Most Unique Ice-Cream Flavours Around The World
1. Snake (Japan)

Everybody is telling the truth when they say that the Japanese are seriously creative. Where else in the world would you get to dig your dessert spoon into a tub of snake ice-cream besides Tokyo, Japan?
You won't get to see chunks of scary snakes frozen in time if you are ever going to buy yourself a tub of this super exotic sweet treat because powdered snake is used instead. Chilling, huh?
Other crazy ice-cream flavours that you can find in Japan include garlic, miso ramen, shark's fin, squid, chicken wing and cactus.
2. Foie Gras (France)
How can we not include foie gras ice-cream when we are talking about unique sweet treats originating from France? French award-winning maestro Philippe Faur created this incredibly luxurious ice-cream for well-heeled (or curious) people who don't mind spending serious bucks on a tub of ice-cream bursting with duck-liver flavour.
This is good on its own, used as a topping for steak or bread or melted into soup. Other atas flavours available at Philippe FAUR Maître Artisan Glacier include caviar (duh), black truffle and saffron.
3. Lobster (USA)

Contrary to Japan's snake ice-cream that does not have real chunks of snake in it, Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium in Maine and Massachusetts boast a best-selling lobster ice-cream with fat pieces of chopped and buttered lobster flesh in a rich and rightly so butter-flavoured ice-cream. The majority of intrigued ice-cream fans sang praises for this seafood variant of a sweet treat that seems so queer but works.
Other unorthodox ice-cream flavours one can find in the United States include bacon, prosciutto, potato chip, sriracha, Sichuan pepper chocolate, pear with blue cheese, horseradish, kale and cookies & cream, cheddar, banana curry and sage chip.
