Spumoni
From Wikipedia:
Spumoni or spumone is a molded Italian ice cream made with layers of different colors and flavors, usually containing candied fruits and nuts. Typically it is of two flavors, with a fruit/nut layer between them. The ice cream layers are often mixed with whipped cream. Chocolate and pistachio are the typical flavors of the ice cream layers, the fruit/nut layer often contains cherry bits.
This dish comes from Naples, and the three-flavored Neapolitan ice cream evolved from it. Because of immigration influx, it's very popular in Argentina too.
It is an 'original' ice cream flavor and is yet considered unorthodox by today's standards. The addition of candied fruit and nuts likens the spumoni flavor to that of a fruitcake.

[spuh-MOH-nee, spoo-MOH-nee]
This frozen molded Italian dessert consists of two layers of ice cream (such as chocolate and vanilla) between which is sandwiched a layer of sweetened whipped cream that has been flavored with rum and mixed with toasted nuts and candied fruit. Sometimes the ice cream is lightened with whipped cream or beaten egg whites before being spooned into the mold. Spumoni is cut into slices and sometimes served with a sweet sauce that complements the ice cream flavors.

Bec, brain of the day doesn't sound like a bad idea for some people, different personalities and all.
Rach, there aren't always scary, sometimes they're laughable.
Becky, I didn't see "Shaun of the Dead", but I saw the trailers and I would probably find it funny. But that's me.
Jade, I don't think it's all that gross, but you can read that stuff above and decide for yourself.
SW, hopefully we've shed a little light and maybe opened up new markets for a tasty treat or two. :-)
