alice29 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 This story is a perfect example of serendipity, and a single chance encounter leading to worldwide repercussions. It’s also rather sweet. Before 1904, ice cream was served on dishes. It wasn’t until the World’s Fair of that year, held in St Louis, Missouri, that two seemingly unrelated foodstuffs became inexorably linked together. At this particularly sweltering 1904 World’s Fair, a stall selling ice cream was doing such good business that they were quickly running out of dishes. The neighboring stall wasn’t doing so well, selling Zalabia – a kind of wafer thin waffle from Persia – and the stall owner came up with the idea of rolling them into cone shapes and popping the ice cream on top. Thus the ice cream cone was born – and it doesn’t look like dying out any time soon. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andry Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 @alice I don't know how is the history of ice cream until you shared in here. Thanks for sharing this informations. Human is really creative. Now frozen yogury is more popular than ice cream in my country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spide Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I love icecream very much. But I never knew the history behind this. Who knows in later we will see icecream in a new look rather than in a dish or a cone. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andry Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 @alice It tastes good too if we combined ice cream with bread, I loved that too. I think bread can change cone in ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bread can change cone in ice cream. i love ice cream too. to make it tasty, i prefer using bread crumb covering dark chocolate. i think in the future we can see much more type and design of the ice cream. i love to see that and tasting it.
