It's clear food choices vary around the world, and since it would be difficult to hone in on the peculiarities of global cuisine as a whole, narrowing it down to the most bizarre desserts was quite feasible.
The following treats are among the strangest -- from bank-breaking frozen treats to intricately designed delicacies that look far too beautiful to eat. This cluster also includes designer yule logs, eco cakes and the world's most exotic ice cream flavors.
Before the cluster kicks off, the peculiar item seen in the main image is of a purple sweet potato dessert.
