Today is: Ice Cream Day
Ice cream is so good that there are multiple holidays dedicated to it. Most of them take place during the summer, but one takes place in December! It's happening today! Happy Ice Cream Day!
Ice cream is made with ingredients such as eggs, cream, vanilla, milk, and sugar. The forerunners of ice cream were flavored snow and ice. Marco Polo later brought a recipe that resembled sherbet back to Italy, which developed into ice cream there sometime during the 16th century. In England and France, royalty were the first to eat foods similar to ice cream. "Cream Ice" was eaten by Charles I of England in the 17th century, and Catherine de Medici of Italy introduced a similar frozen treat to France in the mid-16th century, after she married French King Henry II. The general public began eating ice cream around 1660.
