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
走进那个大大的棚子,各种香味扑面而来。我迫不及待地走进一个又一个的摊子品尝起来。这时,一个奇特的牌子吸引了我的`注意力。上面写着——“马桶”冰淇淋。我走过去瞧了瞧,天哪,装冰淇淋的容器竟是各种颜色的马桶造型!我立刻买了一份。
我端着一个马桶……哦不,应该是冰淇淋,边走边观察着,三种颜色的冰淇淋球放在“马桶”容器里,看上去十分诱人。有草莓味,有香草味,剩下一种是巧克力味。我实在忍不住了,顾不上造型的奇葩,一勺又一勺地吃了起来。
才一会功夫,我和妈妈就你一口我一口地把冰淇淋球吃完了,“马桶”里只剩下巧克力味的冰淇淋球了。由于天气太热,此时冰淇淋已经开始融化了,这样看起来,这个“马桶”容器就体现出它的特别了。巧克力色的冰淇淋慢慢在“马桶”里化成了水……我实在是吃不下去,就推给了妈妈。看着妈妈一点一点地吃完了冰淇淋,我再也忍不住了,哈哈大笑起来。
现在,那个“马桶”被我洗干净放在架子上。每每看到它,我都会想起那令人难忘的“马桶”冰淇淋,不禁嘴角上扬,开心的笑了起来。
春天的太阳照的人暖洋洋的,甚至有点微热,公园里已经有冰淇淋车了,兔小白看着别人手里的冰淇淋吞了吞口水。它指着冰淇淋车对妈妈说:“妈妈有冰淇淋车哎。”
兔妈妈“嗯”了一声。
“妈妈,今天天可真热对吧。”
兔妈妈说:“不热呀,气温刚刚好。”
兔小白撇撇嘴,“妈妈,我热,我想吃冰淇淋可以吗?”它终于说出了自己的小想法。
兔妈妈早就看出来了,但是她拒绝了兔小白,“现在还是春天,冰淇淋要等到夏天才能吃哦,否则会生病的。”
兔小白继续央求到:“可是我觉得挺热了,给我买一个吧妈妈,求你了!”
兔妈妈还是摇头:“生病了要去医院的,你不怕吗?”
兔小白已经被冰淇淋冲昏了头脑,它坚定地摇摇头说:“不会生病的,生病了,我也不怕。”
兔妈妈被兔小白这只小馋兔给打败了,她买了一个小小的冰淇淋给它。兔小白拿着冰淇淋小心翼翼地舔了两口,“哇,好吃!”然后它又大口大口地舔着。不一会儿,冰淇淋就已经进到肚子里了。兔妈妈让它去跑跑出出汗以免生病。
但是,兔小白还是生病了。晚上的时候,它开始头昏脑胀,嗓子疼,还流鼻涕。“妈妈,我头疼,难受!”兔妈妈一摸它的额头,好烫。
兔妈妈抱着兔小白向医院跑去,刚好牛医生在,兔妈妈把兔小白递到牛医生跟前,说:“牛医生,小白白天吃了一个冰淇淋,现在应该是发烧了。”牛医生赶忙黑兔小白量了体温,果然是发烧了。
兔小白今晚只能在医院打点滴了,医院的床没有家里的舒服,兔小白都没有睡踏实。虽然它只吃了一个冰淇淋,但是它要打好几天的点滴,学校也不能去了,兔妈妈也不能去工作了。兔小白只能吃一些清淡的食物,好多好吃的也吃不了了。
兔小白这时开始后悔起来,就吃了一个冰淇淋耽误这么多事儿,它决定下次一定要听妈妈的话,等到夏天再吃冰淇淋。
小狗汪汪开了一家冰淇淋店,红色是草莓味的,蓝色是蓝莓味的,紫色是香芋味的,白色是香草味的,宗色是巧克力味的,黄色是芒果味的。
第一天开张是特价,许多小动物都来买,很多动物都喜欢吃草莓味的,只有很少动物喜欢蓝莓味的。第二天来了一群松鼠,他们爱吃芒果味的。过了一个月,来了一群野猪,他们什么口味的都喜欢。又过了几天来了一群狮子,他们问“有没有牛肉冰淇淋?”汪汪说:“没有。”狮王气得跑掉了。
就这样,汪汪的生意越来越差,顾客越来越少,但是他还是很有信心。让他失望的.是,对面小猴开了一家包子店,它做的包子美味可口,动物们都跑去他那里买包子了。
汪汪忽然想起狮王对他说的话,不如试着做一些不同式样的冰淇淋吧。他说干就干,首先把牛肉、猪肉等肉类煮熟,用冰水冷却,再用绞拌机绞成肉末,把肉末放入冰淇淋的材料中,就做成了牛肉味的,猪肉味的,鱼肉味的冰淇淋,汪汪尝了一下,果然味道不错。他在森林里贴了很多广告介绍他的新品种冰淇淋,小动物们又跑到他那里去了,小猫买了鱼肉味的,狗熊买了蜂蜜味的,松鼠买了松子味的。小鸡要去看电影,她想买爆米花,但是买不到,这时她发现了有爆米花冰淇淋,她一下买了五个,给一家五口一人一支。
最近小猴的包子店,生意冷冷清清,小猴向汪汪取经,汪汪说:“我一个人也忙不过来,要不我们一起合作吧,小猴子欣然同意并把他做包子的秘方告诉了汪汪,他们做出的新品种更好吃了。小猴子又有一个主意,他说我们可以做一些汉堡冰淇淋,汪汪说:“对啊!这个主意太棒了,但是这种冰淇淋要现做现吃,否则会化的。”他们做了一些样品,尝了一下,味道好极了,他们将新品种免费派给一些小动物,动物们吃得赞不绝口。汪汪和小猴子都很开心。
圆圆的小球,玲珑可爱,色彩缤纷,每种不同的口味、颜色,对我来说代表着不同心情。心情好,开心时,就吃粉红色的草莓口味,粉粉嫩嫩的颜色看起来就让人垂涎三尺,冰淇淋和草莓在舌尖上跳着圆舞曲,好绵好顺;心情不好,忧郁时,吃咖啡色的巧克力口味,浓浓的可可香,香醇浓郁,闻起来就让我的心情好了一大半,含在嘴里,让它慢慢融化,慢慢散发出诱人的香气,难怪巧克力对我有致命的吸引力!
冰淇淋甜筒,酥脆的饼皮配上大球的冰淇淋,人间美味阿!一口饼干一匙冰淇淋,在嘴里激荡出灿烂的火花,饼干在齿间还散发出微微的焦香,和牛奶、鸡蛋的`味道……冰淇淋缓缓的滑入喉咙,甜美的果香,冰凉的瞬间,哇!感觉快飞起来了!
炎炎夏日的午后,来个薄荷巧克力冰淇淋,凉凉的薄荷加上让人甜到心坎里的巧克力,真是完美的搭配!寒冬的夜晚,来个芒果口味,让我感觉身处在热带的夏威夷,伴着几抹橘红的晚霞,吃着冰淇淋,迷人的芒果香,好满足阿!
冰淇淋,伴随着我愉快的童年。小时候,常因得到一点的奖励,就感到满足,那种单纯而美好的小幸福,长大后,更难感受的到。希望,那简单的幸福、快乐,能一直陪伴着我,而我也会永远记得那令人沉浸在美好幸福里的,冰淇淋滋味。
