One of the most consumed foods on the planet, ice cream, oddly enough, appeared long before the first refrigerator. Its origin is full of controversy and legend, but the most widely accepted version attributes its authorship to the Chinese, around 1000 BC. C, when perhaps some creative cook tried using snowflakes to produce a different delicacy. Excited with the result, over the centuries, they experimented… Another decided to put a paste of rice milk and spices in the snow so that they would solidify, and so on.
Some researchers claim that it was Alexander the Great (356-323 a. C.), king of Macedonia, the introducer of ice cream in Europe, bringing a mix of salad from the East. fruit soaked in honey that was kept in earthen pots buried in the ground and kept cold with the snow from the Winter. Another current of researchers attributes this feat to the Arabs, who would have perfected the Chinese recipe with the development of the technique of incorporating snow into fruit juice and honey. Until then, the primitive recipe only added the ingredients to the snow, producing something very similar to the current “scratches”. Turks and Arabs guarantee that "ice cream" is a word of Arabic origin, coming from sharbat, which means “fresh drink”.
The fact is that several records prove the consumption of ice cream in Antiquity. Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans were delighted with this cold delicacy whose preparation, however, was very complicated and expensive, which made ice cream a pleasure for a few, only enjoyed by kings and privileged people of the era. It required that snow be brought from the top of the mountains, that it be stored in holes in the earth lined with wood where the ice was compressed and covered with straw to preserve it.
