冰淇淋是生活中不可缺少的一道美食。夏天没胃口时,尝些冰淇淋,是一个迅速补充体力降低体温的好方法。尤其对小朋友来说更是挡不住的诱惑,聪明的妈妈能在小朋友不愿吃饭时,偶尔改变方式以冰淇淋取代主食,同样能摄取营养和热量,漂亮的颜色又让人产生食欲。
你知道吗?美国每年能销售10亿加仑的冰淇淋,8%的牛奶最终变成冷冻食品。如今,各种各样的冰淇淋店更是遍布世界。现在就让我们一起看看冰淇淋的历史吧。
The earliest reports of people enjoying flavored ice desserts come from the Romans and the Chinese. Marco Polo returned from his famous expedition with fruit-flavored ices, reporting that Asians had been making them for thousands of years. These delicacies became popular in France in the 1500s, but only among royalty. Over the next few centuries, the process of making them evolved from hauling mountain ice to salt/ice freezing methods. Cream was introduced as an ingredient, and by the 1700s, people were enjoying a dessert that was very similar to today's ice cream.
The hand-cranked ice cream freezer was first developed by Nancy Johnson in 1846. Ice was readily available from large warehouses in that era, so ice cream became a treat that could be enjoyed by almost anyone, not just the rich. Ice cream making was revolutionized again in 1851, when Jacob Fussel started the first wholesale ice cream manufacturing operation in Baltimore, Maryland. Fussel's dairy business had excess cream and he couldn't figure out what to do with it. He tried using it to make ice cream, and before long his ice cream business outsold the rest of the dairy.
The business slowly evolved for the next few decades. Manufacturing methods and ingredients improved, while refrigeration technology became cheaper and more efficient. By the 1920s, home refrigerators and freezers became more common, which gave the ice cream industry another boost. Sugar was rationed in the US during World War I, but the ice cream industry convinced the government that ice cream was an "essential food”. Ice cream factories were allotted sugar rations and production continued.
Ice cream increased in popularity until the Depression years caused a drop in sales for virtually all non-essential goods. Sales increased in the years leading up to World War II before leveling off in the post-war years. The rise of the giant supermarket created demand for cheaper, mass-produced ice cream, but quality suffered. The 1960s saw a resurgence in "premium"ice cream, while the following decades saw the market fragment into low-fat varieties for the health-conscious, including frozen yogurt, fruit bars, ice milk, fat-free ice cream, and dozens of other varieties. However, ice cream still makes up about 60 percent of the market share among frozen desserts. While ice cream is enjoyed worldwide, it has become an American tradition
有一处广阔的沙漠,那里热浪滚滚,酷暑难耐,而且又极难找到水源,但仙人掌却不屈不挠,依然挺拔着他高大的身体。
沙漠里还有一个看起来无人居住的古堡,一位身穿红裙子的仙子住在那里。她曾是那里的守护神,她是冰淇淋仙子,因为她非常冰凉,所以终年只能躲在古堡里不敢出门。女巫曾在这里施了个咒语,使这里永远干旱,虽然多年前女巫被冰淇淋仙子除掉了,可那里依旧干旱如初。
冰淇淋仙子有一个愿望:我一定会要让这里恢复生机勃勃!她在古堡里的图书馆找到一本神密的书,那上面记载着可以拯救这片沙漠的传说。
书里说道,要获得五种稀有的宝石才能救这片沙漠。说干就干,她飞到了一个空间隧道里,这里的大海,可以寻到书上说的一颗蓝色石,她以最快的速度找到了宝石,而后面的寻找却一次比一次困难。
最后还剩一块宝石没有收集到,冰淇淋仙子的手已经磨起茧子,眼睛充满丝,但冰淇仙子依然坚持地寻找着最后的宝石。
空间隧道又把冰淇淋仙子带到了森林,她遇到一只可爱的猴子,而猴子捡到了最后一颗珍贵的宝石,对于猴子来说,宝石什么用也没有,它看到冰淇淋仙子那么想要就给了她,不过却并提出了一个要求:猴子想要有吃不完的水果。冰淇淋仙子听了这话,马上给它变了一个神奇地盒子,里面有吃不完的水果。
最后,仙子把五种宝石拼在了一起,天空瞬间闪烁了一道道夺目的光芒,天空变得瓦蓝瓦蓝,地上长着绿油油的小草,高大茂密的树木,五颜六色的花朵在柔和的风中微微摇头,小动物在这个美丽的风景中欢快地跑着,连冰淇淋仙子也变得更美了!
“我终于实现了自己的理想,这多么像一幅美丽又生机的画啊!”冰淇淋仙子坐在树荫开心地说。从此,冰淇淋仙子在这里和小动物们过上了幸福的生活。
草莓,树莓、杨梅、甜橘味道等等,它都喜欢吃,每天都逃脱不了拉肚子的命运,有一次在抗寒比赛中获得了第一名;还有一次在吃冰淇淋比赛时以10﹒37分53秒一百根冰淇淋的时间打破了27﹒37﹒56秒的全动物世界记录;还有一次……总之与冰淇淋有关的都有它的身影。
有一次它见到了冰雪之王亚历山大和冰淇淋之神V587,它们俩让王子实现了愿望,王子来到了冰淇淋王国,王子很兴奋。――这里都是冰淇淋。人是冰淇淋,树是冰淇淋,就连河也是冰淇淋。
王子抱起一棵大树使劲的咬着,就像一只毛毛虫把树吃完了,可是由于破坏树林,被最高冰淇淋法院判了五十个月的有期徒刑,被关在了一个厚厚的冰淇淋牢房里面。王子终于有了判断对错的.能力,它决定金盆洗手,做有用的事情,于是它找到了亚历山大,回到了自己的世界。
回到了王国开始了自己真正力量的传说。
有一次八十万千米的马拉松鼠比赛,王子在头上带了一个环,插了一根钓鱼线,鱼线末有一个钩子,钩子上面有一只冰淇淋,为了这次比赛,王子两天都没吃上冰淇淋,跑了一个月了终点,还跑着。又过了一个月,跑回了家,终于吃到了冰淇淋。
拔河比赛中,后面放了一个冰淇淋结果王子奋发努力,拉呀啦,拉呀拉,又获胜……
王子真厉害呀!
