Where does the icecream come from?
No one knows for sure but it was probably the Chinese that "invented" the icecream. Then Marco Polo brought it to Europe after a visit in China in 1298 after having a dessert in Beijing, made by frozen milk. He took Chinese icecream recipes with him home and so the icecream was established in Italy, but more like sorbet, mixing snow with different kinds of fruit juice. Italy has always been well known for the delicious icecream and I agree, it really taste wonderful.
Is this a myth? Who knows, I'm just happy for the icecream and wanted to share a little of that "myth" with you.

What we today mean is icecream has been known since the 18th century, mixed with eggs and milk products frozen outdoors.
In Sweden the icecream at first was very expensive and was made at home and in restaurants for weddings and big parties. Not until the early 1900 it was available for the common people, it was often made at home by immigrated Russians and Italians.

It wasn't until the 50th the icecream became common in Sweden, but in the 30th there were icecream factories in our country. The icecream was made in local dairies and then delivered to the stores, one used ice and salt to keep the icecream frozen. When the stores got fridges it became more common, and also to those who had a freezer at home.

And I am happy for that, I just love icecream, especially a hot Summer day. Or a crispy Fall day. Why not in a cold Winter day, with a blanket around me. Not to meantion to celebrate the Spring. Icecream is never, ever wrong;)
