It wouldn't be known outside Provence probably but calisson ice cream is popular here. A calisson is a sweetmeat made with a base of ground almonds and confit meon - a bit like a marzipan paste and topped with hard white icing.

Clive if I can get some baked beans i'll get out my ice cream maker and try your suggestion.

One of my faves is Nigella’s Salted caramel Bourbon ice cream. Dead easy, very calorific but delicious

Raymond Blanc gives one in his Recipes from Le Manoir aux Quat’ saisons ... maybe that’s the source ?

Am having a few days in Bath this week and walked past an ice cream shop advertising a Prosecco and mandarin sorbet , which sounded lovely . May have to revisit tomorrow to see if they have anymore exciting flavours

It wasn’t Raymond Blanc , Suff though I know it was from a well known chef , rather a generic magazine or Good Food site. Thanks for the link though

In Venezuela, famous for its cocoa, coffee, petrol, Amazon jungle, beautiful beaches ( and beautiful women), and idiotic governments, there is also the Guiness Record for ice-cream:

Stem ginger. Sublime with a rhubarb sheet cake or similar.

Ye gods Clive!
And I though Howard Johnson's mind blowing the first time I went to Florida!

I have made a bloody Mary sorbet several times - lovely inside a half avocado. I have also had avo ice cream - ok but rather bland.

Very sad to see that the Coromoto ice cream shop is currently closed due to supply shortages. I do hope the proprietor survives somehow otherwise meanwhile, but I guess he won't be the only one or business at the moment. Ironically, everyone could probably do with an ice cream to cheer them up.

I probably go for rum and raisin most often, though mocha chocolate is a close second, followed by pineapple (assuming not synthetic taste). Hardly exotic, plus I'm fond of drizzles, Flakes and sprinkles. Clearly a no hoper.

Incidentally, I recall basil ice cream was a must have cheffy thing about five years ago. Is it still around?
