   AKA “Raisin Mutton”

   The Japanese at the top actually says “Rum Raisin,” but they confuse “r” and “l” sounds a lot, so I can see how they’d get the wrong one when looking in a dictionary.

   Like any real man, I prefer meat in my ice cream. You got a problem with that?

   I kind of understand it. This one time in college I mixed peanut butter with roast beef. I couldn’t get it chewed to swallow. Nobody can. Don’t try it.

   Raisins that come out of a lamb? ? I don’t think I’d want that flavour in my icecream.

   @Xenobiologista
   The Japanese name is read as “Ramu Re-zun”

   Lamb raisin ice cream! Just like choc chip only … nastier.

   (I think I stood on a few lamb raisins last time I was down on the farm)

    I realize this is late in the game, but here goes.

    I think the “ramu” is due primarily to the limited vowel inventory in the Japanese syllabary, a fact touched upon in the site’s FAQ. The best they can get is an approximation.
