History-Sode | Ice Cream

Why do we celebrate summer with scoops of mint-chip or swirls of rainbow sherbet? In this breezy “history-side,”

Auntie Jo Jo traces ice cream’s journey from:

  • Ancient experiments – snow mixed with milk and rice in China (200 BC) foodunfolded.com and Emperor Nero’s fruity snow cups in Rome (54 AD) frozendessertsupplies.com

  • Royal European obsessions – secret gelato recipes guarded by Italian and French courts

  • Founding-Father fandom – Thomas Jefferson’s handwritten vanilla recipe and George Washington’s pricey sweet tooth monticello.org

  • American innovations – the waffle-cone breakout at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair idfa.org and the very first ice-cream truck jingling down Ohio streets in 1920 magazine.northeast.aaa.com


Plus rapid-fire fun facts (ever heard of glow-in-the-dark ice cream?) and a reminder that July is National Ice Cream Month.

So grab a spoon—history’s never tasted so sweet!
