How ice cream appeared

Imagine a hot and stuffy summer day. You walk through the city and see a cart selling delicious, cold and refreshing ice cream. It is simply impossible to pass by this delicacy!But as strange as it may sound, it wasn't always like this. In fact, the ice cream was opened and rediscovered several times until it appeared in the world in its usual form. At the same time, each time the inventors of ice cream added something of their own to it - unusual, tasty and so attractive.But no one knows exactly who became the discoverer of ice cream today. And he won't remember. It is only known that the first ice cream in the world appeared at a time when people learned one "trick" - to make sweet ice cubes not only from frozen juice, but also from wine. This ice cream was to the taste of adults (from wine) so it is for children (from juice).Alexander the Great was a big fan of such frozen ice floes, and he lived in the 4th century BC! Well, in the 1st century AD, the Roman emperor Nero demanded from his chefs that they prepare such ice cubes for him almost every day. At the same time, the delicacy was prepared very simply - mountain ice was mixed with fruits.However, according to many researchers, ice cream was discovered in Europe after Marco Polo's trip. This man visited China and then said that people here have been eating this delicacy for a millennium. This significant event took place in 1925.After this revelation, Italian chefs began to produce as many as two types of ice cream, which was simply unheard of for that time. The first ice floes were made on the basis of water, and the second ice floes were made on the basis of milk. And everyone was free to choose exactly what they liked the most.It is said that it was after this trip that milk was added to the ice floes, which had never been done before. So we can say that Marco Polo is not just a great traveler, but also the discoverer of milk or cream ice cream. This man had never dreamed of this honor, that's for sure!Very soon, ice cream began to appear on the tables of aristocrats. But it was incredibly expensive, and only members of the royal family could afford it. Well, the poor didn't even know about such a delicacy. The recipe for making this milk ice cream was kept in the deepest secrecy. Well, for someone who tried ice cream for the first time, this delicacy seemed like a real miracle.In some miraculous and incomprehensible way, the secret of making ice cream appeared in France. This happened only in 1560. But even here, the French did not want to lag behind the Italians and added something of their own to the ice cream. To be more precise, they began to cook this cold treat in the form of balls, the same ones that can be seen in ice cream parlors today.And then something completely unusual happened - a Spanish doctor named Blasius Vilafranca began to use ice mixed with saltpeter to freeze a mixture of cream, sugar and fruits better. This discovery led to the world's first ice cream freezer. Up to that time, this problem was solved by everyone independently. At the same time, the freezing process itself took place inside two metal balls. All the necessary components of the ice cream were well mixed, whipped if necessary, then laid out in these balls, which were placed in a special device, where they were frozen.In the 17th century, this unusual and delicious delicacy came to England. Here he was served at King Charles' table. He was initially suspicious of the new product, but after trying it out, he ordered that ice cream be eaten in his camp only in the royal palace!After the death of this wonderful man, his chefs were able to share the recipe for an unusual delicacy with their simple colleagues who did not work in the yard. But ordinary people were able to appreciate the taste of this dessert only a century later.In 1670, the first cafe was opened in Paris, where anyone could order ice cream and sherbet. In those days, this delicacy had names such as "milk ice", "cream ice" and even "butter ice". But the very name "ice cream" was given to the world by the Americans. However, at first it sounded like "ice cream" - "cold cream".And what about Russia? Everything is very simple. Frozen milk was once considered a national delicacy in our country. It was served by the hostesses at the arrival of the guests and just at the end of the dinner. And on Shrovetide, a mixture of frozen cottage cheese, sour cream and raisins was necessarily made. Residents of Belarus and Ukraine ate the same ice cream. And for them, it didn't seem like some kind of novelty or delicacy that could only be tasted on holidays. Besides, both rich and poor people ate it in Russia. And everyone liked it.In the USA, creamy ice cream with the addition of fruits, syrup and nuts was first sold in 1881 in a small private cafe. It cost only 5 cents, but the peculiarity of this ice cream was that it was sold only on Sundays. A lot of people came to the small town that day to try this delicacy. Imagine the queues outside the restaurant!But ice cream in waffle or paper cups was born in the 20s of the last century. Now this dessert could be bought almost anywhere in the world and with different flavors and additives.Today, all ice cream is divided into tempered ice cream, which is sold in cups, and soft ice cream, which is sold in cafes in the form of balls. Fans of this sweetness would like to say that this is a fairly high-calorie product and you still shouldn't get carried away with it. But one glass of ice cream a day still has no effect on the figure, but it will lift the mood perfectly.So we are waiting for the summer. After all, only in summer this delicacy has a special, unique taste. And it's simply impossible to give up this mixture of milk, cream, sugar, butter and various additives, because everyone loves ice cream!
