Some History
From Susie:
Since Americans eat about 15 quarts
of ice cream per capita each year, it is appropriate that the first recorded
instance of the word (1744) occurs in the writings of an American, who
mentions "fine ice cream . . . with . . . strawberries and milk." The history
of ice cream itself can be traced much further back, to the Roman Empire,
China, and India. Ice cream was introduced to England in the 17th century
and to America in the 18th. It seems to have been called iced cream at
first (1673), in line with such expressions as iced tea and iced coffee,
which we still use, but the form ice cream has taken over.
