The History of Ice Cream
No one knows who the inventor of ice cream was. In 618-97 A.D, the emperor of China King Tang of Shang had 94 of his men help to make a dish of buffalo, milk, camphor, and flour. It was quite similar to ice cream.
The Persian Empire around 500 B.C used the combination of grapes, fruits, and other flavors in order to produce expensive summer treats.
The Roman Empire sent slaves to tops of mountains in order to extract fresh snow to make ice cream.
Charles I, the king of England, used to pay 500£ to his cook every year, just to keep the ice cream recipe secret from the rest of his population.
The modern ice cream era started shortly after the end of the First World War with the availability of commercial electric refrigerators. The ice cream industry powered with this great invention was gaining popularity throughout the globe, enabling the cheap and easy production of ice cream.
During World War II, ice creams became a part of U.S army’s daily rations which were distributed on all fronts across Europe, North Africa, Pacific, and east Asia. After the end of the war, people all around believed ice cream to be an American invention and very quickly they developed their own industries to produce ice creams.
