I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
It was National Ice Cream Day on July 17 in the USA — and we Filipinos share their love for this frozen sweet treat which is perfect to cool down in our tropical weather.
Generally thinking that the Italians invented ice cream because of their gelatos – which are different, mind you, because gelatos have more milk than cream — we can now sum up the ice-cold facts, after defrosting some history, that ice cream was invented in China and then introduced to the Western world by Italy.
It was only until the1800s that ice cream remained a rare and exotic dessert enjoyed mostly by the elite, after it was made accessible to the general public by France. Now, ice cream has gone a long way.
