I'm not terribly adventurous so I'd have to say peanut butter- banana-chocolate.
Eclipse Chocolat in San Diego does a cupcake extravaganza every July, and this year they had Crispy Bacon Caramel cupcakes as one of their many flavors. Chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, with a caramel bacon filling. The first and second bites were awesome, but by the time I took a third bite I was on salt overload and I couldn't finish it.
My favorite: nectarine-blueberry-basil cupcakes!
wow some of these are very adventurous flavors! i've only had normal ones. but i'd be up to try a few of these crazy flavors.
mmmmm, probably a black and tan cupcake
I haven't tried any unusual flavors yet, but I would love to try maple bacon!
Most definitley a jalepeno and chocolate chip cupcake. It was..interesting.
The most unusual cupcake flavor was a raspberry chambord cake filled with raspberry preserves, topped with a vanilla bean infused vodka frosting! It was wild!
I just saw on a website they had raspberry liver brownie cupcakes...that sounds terrible....I am wanting to try a root beer float cupcake!
I recently made a banana split cupcake...It had all the flavors needed for a banana split - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, banana, nuts, chocolate syrup, and a cherry on top! Super sweet though... Has to be one of the strangest, and yet most delicious cupcakes I've ever had!

Probably a zucchini banana carrot muffin :) nothing too exciting
I've not tried any crazy flavors, sadly. But I'd be all over a chai cupcake or a pistachio cupcake!
I haven't tried anything out of the ordinary but I'm thinking a bacon and chocolate cupcake would be pretty yummy :)
I haven't tried any unusual flavors of cupcakes. I do like strawberry and balsamic truffles, so I think it would be neat to try that in cupcake form!
im still waiting on the margarita cupcake!!! :)
I haven't tried anything unusual but I wouldn't mind giving a sweet potato cupcake with a cream cheese frosting a go. Might have to try that this weekend and see how it comes out.

I haven't tried anything out of the ordinary ever. I've only had the typical cupcakes - chocolate, vanilla, banana. Boring! I saw a few other posts that list a chocolate champagne cupcake with whipped cream frosting. That sounds soooo delicious and I want to try one!!
I haven't had anything too unusual, but the strawberry cupcake from Washington DC's baked and wired is absolutely the most delicious cupcake ive ever tasted! Other than that, maybe a chai cupcake? That sounds tasty!
breakfast cupcakes - vanilla cake with maple frosting and crumbled bacon on top
At my last job, I made some (raw vegan) wheatgrass icecream. It was obviously ridiculous and green, but also weirdly delicious. I would love to try making a wheatgrass cupcake!
Hi I'm from Japan and a bakery near my house used to sell natto cupcakes (natto = fermented soybeans). They weren't very tasty and I think that's why they aren't selling them anymore.
Not very unusual but still not something you could get in a supermarket (also super delicious): rose cardamom cupcakes. Sooo tasty.
