Happy National Ice Cream Day! which falls on the 3rd Sunday in July each year. But If you click onto any of the zillion and one “national ice cream day’ links like the one here you’ll find it void of any and all inclusive history…
Lucky ya’ll i have that covered for ya’s. IN MANY WAYS and options:
Have you seen yours truly droppin knowledge in my friend Carla Hall’s “Chasing Flavor ” Ice cream episode yet? … Or listened to all the (hidden) history I laid out in my ‘ origins of ice cream in America podcast episode? OR what I contributed to the Milk Street Radio Summer series episode where I also talk there about the hidden history of the origins of American ice cream with host Christopher Kimball ?…
VANILLA Ice Cream day is just around the corner on the 23rd as is Hot Fudge Sundae Day on the 25th and let’s not forget that July kicked off with Ice Cream FLAVORS Day on the 1st. Why all these Ice Cream Holidays? JULY IS ICE CREAM MONTH. And WHO has all the inclusive true history scoop on the makings of the AMERICAN ICE CREAM Industry as we know it? that ‘s right - me!
