Why is home-made ice cream not as tasty?
After learning of the production method of ice cream, someone of your intelligence has probably guessed the answer to this question: because home-made ice cream will have the problem of being gritty as you cannot gradually freeze the mixture while stirring it at high speed with a machine, and water and fat cannot be homogenized by the high pressure of the machine, which leads to larger ice grains, and failure of the smooth and fine texture.

Why is ice cream not tasty any more after it melts and refreezes?
If the condition of ice cream isn’t kept at a temperature low enough, its structure will collapse with the air slowly released, making the oil, water and sugar start forming layers due to their difference in density. Therefore, when ice cream melts and freezes again, its structure will change, thus compromising its taste.

Why do I get a headache from eating ice cream?
Many have experienced a headache from eating ice cream. That’s because when we eat ice cream, we use our palate to melt the ice cream, and the low temperature stimulates the nerves on the palate, which in turn makes the blood vessels in the head swell to maintain the temperature of the head, thus causing the headache. So don’t use your palate to melt ice cream and you will be able to enjoy your ice cream without suffering a headache.

Who invented ice cream?
From ancient times, it has been an enjoyment to have ice cream! The earliest record of eating ice cream was from 2000 B.C. in China. At that time, in order to fight against the summer heat, the emperor ordered the slaves to store ice blocks collected in winter in the cellar and take them out to enjoy in summer. In the same century, both Chinese and Arabs began to enjoy this delicious dessert. In 1533, Marco Polo took the recipe of ice cream back to Europe and the Europeans started eating ice cream as well. Later, thanks to the research and development of French chefs and other enthusiasts, milk-based ice cream replaced frozen fruits, becoming the common ice cream we are having today.

Why is ice cream called sundae when it’s topped with fruit syrup and other ingredients?
In the Victorian era, drinking soda was considered uncivilized, so some towns and villages forbade selling soda on Sundays. In Evanston, Illinois, an ingenious drug store operator topped ice cream with syrup that contained no soda, an alternative available on Sundays only. In order not to show disrespect to Sunday, the product was named “Sundae” (In Duroyal’s opinion, the Chinese name is a very nice translation).
