Welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: September 22nd, 2021. Today were celebrating National Ice Cream Cone Day. If only David was off I would have asked him to take Charlie and I to a Ice Cream Store and gotten Charlie a Ice Cream Cone while David would have a Milk Shake and me a Scoop of Ice Cream In A Bowl. Would you like to come with us and what would you like and why?
Five facts to know about Ice Cream Cones:
- Edible Cones have been mentioned in French Cooking Books as early as 1825, when Julien Archambault describes a Cone where one can roll “little Waffles”.
- According to one legend, a Syrian Pastry maker, Ernest Hamwian, who was selling Zalabia, a crisp Pastry cooked in a hot Waffle-patterned press came to the aid of a Ice Cream Vendor (perhaps Arnold Fornachou or Charles Menches) who had run out of dishes; Hamwi rolled a warm Zalabia into a Cone that held Ice Cream.
- The first Cones were rolled by hand but, in 1912, Frederick Bruckman, an inventor from Portland, Oregon, patented a machine for rolling Ice-cream Cones. Frederick Bruckman sold his company to Nabisco in 1928 and Nabisco is still producing Ice-cream Cones, as it has been since 1928. Independent Ice-cream providers such as Ben & Jerry’s make their own Ice-cream cones.
- Some brands produce something very similar to the traditional Ice-cream Cone, but with a flat bottom, which enables the Cone to stand upright without the danger of the Cone falling over. These types of Wafer Cups are called “Kiddie Cups”, “Cake Cones”, or “Cool Cups”.
- A variety of Cone exists that allows two scoops of Ice Cream to be served side by side, instead of the usual straight up order. The side-by-side variety has been the standard “double-header” in Australia for many decades, and the ‘two-up’ variety is a relatively recent innovation in Gelato shops mostly.
From the dawn of time, everyone from philosophers to men or woman on the street has scratched their confused heads over this mind-boggling question — how can you hold and eat Ice Cream in your hands without making a mess? September 22, celebrate the long-awaited answer — National Ice Cream Cone Day — by taking a bite into America’s favorite way to eat Ice Cream.
Before the invention of the Ice Cream Cone, there was no good solution to the hassle (not to mention the mess) of eating Ice Cream without dripping the stuff down your arms or your chin and ruining your clothes. But thanks to this so-simple-it’s-incredible-nobody-thought-of-it-earlier innovation, now we’re free to indulge Ice Cream Cones in Waffle-style, Pretzel, Wafer and more.
NATIONAL ICE CREAM CONE DAY ACTIVITIES
- You could try making your own Ice Cream Cone which isn’t as hard as it seems. You don’t even need a Waffle Press to make Cones for your Ice Cream.
- Eating Ice Cream is much simpler than making your own Cones, try out the Ice Cream store down the street. Don’t limit your choices because, Ice Cream, Sorbet, Gelato and Soft- serve also come on Cones!
- Purchase Ice Cream Cone and decorate the Cones by dipping the Cone in Chocolate, adding Sprinkles, White Chocolate or Dark Chocolate or change the color of the Cone by adding Food coloring.
WHY people love National ICE CREAM CONE DAY
- Part of the appeal of the Ice Cream Cone is the added textures and flavors that Ice Cream adds to your desert. Chocolate Ice Cream is made infinitely better when adding a Waffle Cone or a Pretzel cone, or adding a crunchy Vanilla Cone to your Mango Sorbet makes the desert tastier.
- Did you know Ice Cream Cones are eco-friendly? Besides being a delicious addition to the Ice Cream treat that you’re holding in your hand; every time you eat Ice Cream in a cone you’re doing our Planet a favor by not using a plastic, spoon and cup. Let’s love the planet and enjoy Ice Cream at the same time — then you CAN have your cake and eat it, too!
- Do you thinks Ice Cream Cones rule over Cups ? It’s the classic question for America’s Ice Cream lovers. While it’s open to discussion (and something to discuss with friends,) but obviously Cones rule and cups drool if you ask Charlie. Why I prefer my Ice Cream in a bowl.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
