History

 

Ice cream was never really invented. It more or less envolved on its own. Even so, history isn't quite sure of the cold facts surrounding that evolution. Western historians have long claimed that ce cream originated in biblical times.During the first century A.D the Roman emperor Nero Claudius Caesar regurlaly sent his slaves high up into the Appenines for snow to chill wines and fruit juices. One day some bungler spilled salpenter on the packed snow,supercooling it and freezing the juices into sluchy ice.

On the other side of the globe, Eastern historians believe it was the Chinese who first developed the technology for making ices,and there's good evidence to back them up. The adverturer Marco Polo returned to Europe from his thirdteenth-century Far Eat expeditions with recipes for delicious ice flavored with exotic fruits and with tales of their having been enjoyned in Asia for thousands of years.

No one knows when ice cream was first made. In 1295, the Italian trader like I mention before Marco Polo returned to Europe from China and may have brougth recipes for water ices.During the 1600's, Europeans used combinations of ice, snow, and a mineral called salpenterto freeze mixtures of cream,fruit and spices.
