Who doesn't love a scoop of ice cream on a sunny day? But have you ever wondered where this delightful treat originated from? Ice cream's roots reach back as far as 200 B.C., where Chinese elites enjoyed a dish made of snow, milk, and rice. The recipe later traveled to Europe, where it was enjoyed by royalty. It was in the 17th century, however, when ice cream crossed the pond to America, that it gained widespread popularity. But there was still one problem: how do you eat it on the go? In 1904, at the St. Louis World Fair, the ice cream cone was born, revolutionizing ice cream consumption. Today, we have a multitude of flavors to enjoy, from classic vanilla, which originated in Mexico, to vibrant strawberry, a flavor perfected in the USA. So the next time you savor your favorite ice cream, remember you're enjoying a treat with a rich history.
