Invention Of Ice Cream

By : Sumona Das Previous|Next

Posted on : 04 May, 2006 Total Views : 1384

Did anyone invent ice cream?

Clearly it was not one person who created this gift to humanity, for surely he or shewould have already been awarded the Nobel Prize.

Short of world peace and cures for terrible diseases, what better mark of progress andcivilization could there be than the advent of ice cream in general and, if I may sayso, chocolate ice cream in particular?

Ice cream debuted in China 4000 years ago among the nobility in the form of a milkand rice concoction packed in snow. Fruit ices and a form of sherbet followed.

In the Middle Ages travelers brought these treats back to Italy, where it was still adessert reserved for the upper crust.

Improved cheaper refrigeration techniques in the 16th century brought ice cream tothe masses, probably the most important dot on the timeline of history until thediscovery of antibiotics 400 years later.

bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had theprivilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the womenand finally the children-last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you

could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out withthe bath water."

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to burypeople. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" andreuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to havescratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. Sothey thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through thecoffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out inthe graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someonecould be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

And that's the truth...

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knockthem out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them fordead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for acouple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait andsee if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It wasthe only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals(mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the

animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence, the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house, which posed a realproblem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up yournice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top affordedsome protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying"dirt poor."

The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they

spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on,they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all startslipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a"thresh hold."

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung overthe fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostlyvegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving

leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimesthe stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peasporridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."
