Frozen in Time: Ice Cream and America’s Past
8Description
America loves ice cream and we think we know the story of the delicious treat, but join us as we explore the ties of this frozen dessert to surprise and delight us during different eras of our country’s past. We'll venture back in time to the diplomatic dinner parties of the founding fathers, where ice cream took on mesmerizing disguises using molds reminiscent of "Is It Cake." Discover how ice cream's evolution intertwined with the rise of nutrition science, pharmacy innovations, and the temperance movement, transforming soda fountains into sanctuaries for women and children. And don't miss the inspiring story of the U.S. Navy's ice cream barge, a floating morale booster during WWII. As a cherry on top, we'll share a tantalizing rum raisin recipe that bridges the gap between history and your taste buds. Tune in for a scoop of history that'll leave you craving more.
