Ice cream was first introduced to Thailand a hundred years ago during the reign of King Rama V. It was first served as a royal delicacy. The Thais saw ice cream as an “It” desert and people who had tried it were regarded as modern and fashionable.
The tale of ice cream
The origin of ice cream can be traced back to 62 A.D in the time of the Roman emperor Nero who invent chilled delicacies made from snow and flavored with honey and mixed fruits. This dessert was usually served to the emperor and his great warriors before battles. As time went by, the dessert was developed to a type of ice-cream called “Sherbet”.
There is also another view that the creation of ice cream first happened in China before spreading to India then Persia. Around 2,000 BC the Chinese accidentally created milk ices as they usually buried milk, which was very expensive, under snow to preserve it. From then, the Chinese developed many ice concoctions such as fruit juices mixed with honey and ice. In the Mokul dynasty, the Chinese created a recipe called “Kulfi” which was milk ice mixed with pistachio. It was believed to be the archetype of today’s ice-cream.
In the 13th century, Marco Polo visited China and fell in love with the frozen desert, so he took the technique of making ice cream back to Italy. During his journey, Marco Polo created his own recipe by adding a few ingredients such as yak milk with snow. After he introduced the delicacy to the Italians, it became very popular and soon spread to France and England. The Italians are very famous for their ice cream recipe known as “Gelati”. They have developed the technique of making Gelati and they have become known as the original ice cream maker and they also claim to be the inventors as well.
In 1670, the Franesco café was the first parlor to sell this tasty treat which became a top hit dish and the talk of the town. The popularity of gelato among the general population however only developed in 1846 when
