Melted ice cream deserves to be remembered.

@kylewilcoxon2303 28 күн бұрын

My oldest child would make "ice cream soup" before she would eat her ice cream. 10 years later had another daughter. She, also, would melt her ice cream before eating it(drinking it?) . Her term for the stuff- Ice Cream Soup.

Yuck! Ice cream that is 90% melted is nasty, and even worse is partially melted ice cream that has been refrozen so that it's full of tiny little ice crystals .

They still have ice cream trucks, but I miss the ones that actually had soft serve ice cream, served in a cup as a sundae, or on a cone. Now they just sell ice cream novelties, and the prices are ridiculous. $6 for a Klondike bar? And a generic one at that... I understand the insurance rates for those trucks is insane, which is probably why they're so expensive. The ones that operate in neck of the woods play some tune I cannot identify, and before it repeats there is a woman's voice saying 'Hello'. But it doesn't sound like a particularly friendly greeting; instead, it sounds like the 'hello' you'll get from a snarky, bored teenager who is exasperated at having to wait more than 8 seconds for her french fries at McDonalds.

Ice cream also gained substantially in popularity in the first half of the twentieth century, not only because the technology to make it became more available, but also partly due to the influence of the US Navy, which used it as a morale-booster because it was something desirable that could be made on board ship, and which could be served to men on duty without impairing them (as contrasted with e.g. the British Royal Navy's rum ration). After the war, former service members returning to civilian life brought their ice cream habit with them. Some historians also credit the prohibition of alcohol, with boosting the popularity and social importance of ice cream in America; and its prominence in American entertainment has contributed to its popularity worldwide.

The only downside to this is that without the stabilizers found in commercially-produced ice cream, my ice cream gets gummy after sitting about a week in the freezer.

Which brings up another issue. Until individual households owned refrigerator/freezers about 1940, ice cream was purchased from the local grocery or creamery where it was scooped into a box (hand-packed) and handed off to the customer who rushed home with it to his awaiting family where it was divided up and consumed promptly. Once you could keep it frozen at home, it could be bought on the weekly grocery run in larger quantities and served more often.

Think of ice cream as a foam. Air bubbles surrounded by a matrix (not that one!) of ice crystals, fat and sugar solution with some form of emulsifier. The smaller the ice crystals the smoother the ice cream. The fat globes need to be "Goldy locks size", too big and the ice cream feels "fatty", too small and it does not seem creamy. Too little air and it is too hard, also too hard if it is too cold (too much ice, not enough sugar solution). The emulsifier? to hold the ingredients together before the freezing/churning process starts.

Ice cream has so many neat attributes and facts surrounding. Until an adult I didn't realize that outside the northeast the rest of the country barely eats it in comparison, and no where near the amount of locally (onsite) produced family places. We have 8 ice cream shops with a summer population of 30k on weekends at most. The ice harvesting industry has long lasting effects, we shipped Ice from here in NH to Boston 365 days a year from sawdust filled ice houses up until 1926, and had then going until 50s. That availability if ice is why 20 years ago I couldn't get iced coffee I was used to here at McDonalds as I drove cross country. (Also they gave Northeast better hot coffee, Newman's Own, Green Mt., to compete with Dunkin Donuts.) So even though we all have freezers the tradition of a couple hundred years of having ice readily available makes us eat the most ice cream, with only Utah close (Mormans not drinking coffee, soda, alcohol, eat a lot of ice cream.)

As I recall Margaret Thatcher was involved in developing ice-cream made from dried ingredients rather than fresh - drastically increasing the shelf life of the ingredients.

The early history of ice cream is so vague and mythologized that even the most diligent of research historians must resort to some waffling when relating the story. 😉

I make adult versions of ice cream: - Chocolate Ice Cream with Mint Liqueur - Coffee Ice Cream with Irish Cream - Strawberry Ice Cream with Strawberry Liqueur None have enough liqueur to have any effect though. Too much alcohol prevents the ice cream from freezing.

Whenever you get a brain-freeze from ice cream, just hold your tongue to the roof of your mouth and it will pass quickly.

Just saw this, so, of course I had to have some ice cream while I listened. I love vanilla with some homemade rhubarb sauce. Last of the rhubarb for the season, though. More rhubarb next spring, but ice cream all year long!

Cool episode! 🤣I do wonder about the consistency, texture and taste of some of the predecessors of modern ice cream. Modern ice cream the way we enjoy it today is practically impossible without modern refrigeration. You can churn ice cream in a container surrounded by ice and salt, but if your ice cream mixture isn't thoroughly chilled (typical refrigerator temps, not frozen) before you start, it will take a long time, you'll have to keep changing that ice and salt, and the ice cream you get will not be as hard as you're used to and will melt quickly. Even after the ice cream is churned, keeping it hard requires a freezer temperature below 10F, preferably around 0F. You can do that without modern refrigeration in winter in colder climates, but not a lot of people like to eat cold desserts at that time of year. I'm guessing that a lot of the early "ice creams" were more like cold, sweet sauces or icy dressings on fruits or cakes than what we enjoy today.

To have a scoop of Tillamook Oregon Dark Cherry ice cream in a waffle cone with a Cadburry's Flake chocolate bar stuck in it is to taste Devinity itself. Try it!!!

Oh my god, how does the biggest little city make it's way in everywhere... I just wanted to see if anyone mentioned Bake Off disgusting everyone with the penny licks thing. Then I took a turn down a dark alley to find folks having Prince of Persia moments.. Biden talk... a biznitch calling History Guy "Bud"... and now this...I just wanted to see communal licking glass talk. Imagine I was forlornly whispering that last bit. The majority was done in comical distress. Hope you enjoyed the journey as I.. did-not-enjoy-mine. Hmph, does that convey one-wordedness? No spaces does not translate.
