Who doesn’t like chocolate ice cream?
It is delicious and one of the top favourites with people and animals, but stick to vanilla for them!!
He certainly loves is, as do cats although I wouldn’t advise giving a dog chocolate ice cream
Today is thought to have been invented by an ice cream manufacturer to help promote his goods, but come on, do we need to be reminded of ice cream, and especially chocolate ice cream?
Chocolate Ice Cream goes back quite a time and some say it was invented before vanilla. There are some records in Italy dating back to the 17th century showing the first ever recipe for chocolate ice cream!!
A few facts about ice cream:
Ice Cream is a luxury – honest! Up until the late 1800s, ice cream was only for the rich and super-elite. This is due to the fact that they were the only ones who could afford to import it and then freeze it when it arrived. So next time you are looking for a more upmarket snack – look no further than the humble yet mighty tub of chocolate ice cream.
Chocolate ice cream is highly versatile – add it to desserts, milkshakes, top it with an assortment of sweet and savoury foods, or even combine it with other chocolate foodstuffs to make a delectable dessert that is sure to induce a food coma.
Ice Cream sundaes – That is it. No elaboration needed. Did you know that ice cream sundaes were actually made to be served on a Sunday? Ice cream was a popular addition to soda drinks in local soda shops in America. By law, on Sundays, this drink was not allowed to be sold. As a way around this, a popular ice cream parlour chose to serve the ice cream and syrup without the soda to get around laws about sugary treats on the Sabbath. So the story goes anyway. But either way, the treat is still a firm favourite all over the world.
Ice cream bowls have an interesting shape – They tend to be shorter and wider round bowls on a short stand with a flat base for stability. The exact shape can vary depending on location, size, and the type of serving you are ordering. But the dishware is irrelevant, as everyone knows, it is what it holds that matters!
So, today, to celebrate, eat some chocolate ice cream, or make your own, either with or without an ice cream maker. It is so simple, even I can do it!!
Above all, enjoy it.
Post all things chocolate or ice cream related, and let’s have a yummy day !!
