Have you ever had potato ice cream? Maybe it's not an option where you live. Ice cream made with potatoes can be found here in Japan. There is a sweet purple potato that is made into ice cream. There is also just plain potato ice cream. Here is a picture of a potato ice cream that has matcha or green tea powder in it.
(This picture was taken in the summer. See the sign for kakigori or snow cones? I posted a picture on July 26th. The signs are no longer around. You can't buy snow cones anymore. Summer is gone.)
Here is a city bus that uses compressed natural gas. It is much smaller than other buses in the Tokyo area. I think there are some cities in the U.S. that use alternative sources of energy for their buses. There are probably some in other parts of the world, too.
In Malaysia, I never saw potato ice cream. However, corn found its way into many places that were new to me. For example, you could easily find corn-flavored ice cream. In the food courts of shopping malls, there would be a booth selling nothing but cups of buttered corn. When you go to the movie theater, instead of the buttered and salted popcorn that I am used to in the USA, you could buy a cup of buttered corn, or you could by carmelcorn. it looks liked buttered popcorn but the yellow coating is sweet. We were very surprised when we took our first bite!
