When it comes to inventiveness and sheer weirdness of flavours, Lithuania may well be the world capital of ice cream!

One of Lithuania's travel agencies has produced a map of the country's 47 weirdest flavours. Fancy a scoop of bacon, mackerel or carrot flavour?

Lithuania has been making ice cream since the 18th century and there are lots of unusual flavours on offer.

Lithuanians currently eat an average of 7 litres (1.53 gallons) of ice cream every year, making them "the world's biggest fans of ice cream."
