   Disgusting that anyone would still use foie gras in this day and age (read: not the dark ages, shoving metal tubes down gees necks and force feed them till they get liver disease and then make fricking pate from a diseased liver...savages!).

   That wonderful spicy, sour, seafood soup that everyone loves at Thai restaurants is called Dom Yam and it is flavored with tamarind, chili, lime, lemongrass, galanga (a root relative of ginger), fish sauce and more.

   One of the neatest non-standard ice creams I've encountered was Dom Yam-flavored ice cream in Nakhon Sitammarat Province in Southern Thailand - basically a sherbert flavored with tamarind (sour), lemongrass, lime - and chili.

   Arroy maak!

   Ming Tsai (of East meets West and Simply Ming fame) nailed this type of ice cream down some time ago, I beleive. I can't find anything on the web, but he talked about it at a lecture I was at.

   In Savonlinna, Finland there's a medieval restaurant that sells tar flavoured ice cream. It's quite good, actually.
