Everybody Loves Ice Cream

I love ice cream. My kids love ice cream. My grandson adores ice cream. Ice cream may well be branded as the most popular dessert, worldwide. The earliest reference given to ice cream by the Oxford English Dictionary was in 1744. The concoction was introduced to the United Sates by the Quaker colonists. Ice cream were first sold in confectioner's shops in New York. You might say that ice cream has come a long way, flavor wise. Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry are no longer the options in flavors. There are, literally, hundreds of flavors to choose from hundreds of ice cream makers.
