Genre. Ice-cream

(10.06.2011)
On June 10, 2011 is the 220th anniversary of ice-cream. It was known long before, but on June 10, 1791 the ice-cream appeared in the sale. Ancient civilizations have served ice for cold foods for thousands of years. The BBC reports that a frozen mixture of milk and rice was used in China around 200 BC. The Roman Emperor Nero (37–68) had ice brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings. These were some early chilled delicacies. Arabs were the first to use milk as a major ingredient in its production, sweeten the ice cream with sugar rather than fruit juices, as well as perfect ways for its commercial production. As early as the 10th century, ice cream was widespread amongst many of the Arab world's major cities, such as Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo. Their version of ice cream was produced from milk or cream and often some yoghurt similar to Ancient Greek recipes, flavoured with rosewater as well as dried fruits and nuts. Nowadays there is a great variety of ice-cream kinds. For example, this year in London the ice-cream of breast milk was presented.
