Since it has been sooo HOT for a lot of
us this Summer, I thought we'd take a
moment and cool down--you know
"chill out."
The origins of ICE CREAM go back to
about 60 AD. The first ice cream
parlor in America opened in NYC
in 1776.
Haagen Dazs was created in 1959 by
Polish born New York businessman
Reuben Mattus. The Danish sound-
ing name was also invented by him
and the ice cream had a map of
Scandinavia on the carton.
***********************************
In 1843, New England housewife
Nancy Johnson invented the hand
cranked ice cream churn. She
patented the invention but lacked
the funding to make and market it
herself so she sold the patent for
$200 to a Philidelphia kitchen
wholesaler.
~~French ice cream is enriched
with egg yolks.
~~More ice cream is sold on
Sunday's than any other day
of the week.
~~Vanilla is the top flavor in the
US followed by chocolate, vanilla/
chocolate, fruit and cookies and
cream.
~~Favorite topping is CHOCOLATE
~~The world's first soft serve ice
cream machine was in an Olympia,
Washington Dairy Queen.
~~At one time it was against the law
to serve ice cream on cherry pie in
Kansas.
