Ice Cream On Avocado Might Be The Weirdest Trend You’ll Ever See
If you’ve ever peeped a Japanese game show, you know how weird things can get in the Land of the Rising Sun.
The Japanese people have had a pretty insane food trend over the years that consists of ice cream on avocados.
If you’re not hip to Japanese trends, they’re not quite like American trends, as these people are also pretty crazy about peaches and mozzarella, which in hindsight, doesn’t sound as appaling as avocado and ice cream.
RocketNews24 says that avocado has been a popular food item in Japan for a while and people have been combining it with ice cream, soy sauce and sometimes even sauteed butter.
Not sure if the Japanese people have lost their minds, but people have posted some of their avocado and ice cream creations on Twitter a lot of them are pretty nuts.
Anyone care to test these recipes?

OK, now they’ve made some kind of ice cream salad. Avocado, vanilla ice cream, peaches and tomato all in the same plate. *Mind blown*

This one’s at least dressed up pretty. It has a bottom layer of baked apple, then sliced avocado, ice cream and cinnamon sprinkled over top.

And we’re right back to weird. There is absolutely no way ice cream and balsamic vinegar mix. Nope. Won’t accept this.
