National Ice-Cream Month 2020: Every year we celebrate the national ice-cream day on the third Sunday in July. Thanks to President Ronald Reagan who declared the month of July as national ice-cream month. Since ages, many people have been fond of this delicious food item, known as ice cream.
Long back, people who stayed in the Persian Empire used to put balls of snow in bowls and top them with some concentrated grape juice and eat it as a refreshing treat. This cool dish would be their saviour on, especially hot days.
People were so fond of this treat that they stored the snow in special underground chambers called yakchal where the snow didn’t melt. Some people even used to travel up to the mountaintops by their summer capital in order to gather snowfall and make snowballs to preserve them and enjoy them later.
Italy is originally the birthplace of the ice cream that people enjoy today. The Italians give credit to Antonio Latini for the discovery of ice cream. Antonio Latini was born in 1642 and created a milk-based sorbet. In the United States, the Quaker colonists earned the nod for bringing their own ice recipes over with them. They opened the first few ice cream shops, including shops in New York City and other cities during the colonial era.
