History of Ice Cream

It has often been said that the Chinese invented ice cream and that marco polo brought the idea to Europe in the thirteenth century. This is more myth than historical fact backed by evidence but it can be sated with some confidence that ice cream was invented in China in the first milenium. The process of freezing liquids by immersing them in a mixture of ice and salt, which react together to lower the temperature of the mixture below freezing point, was also invented in the distant past - it was first documented in the thirteenth century. This is how ice cream had to be made until the invention of the freezer in the twentieth century. A vessel containing ice and salt surrounds a container containing the ice cream mixture. The temperature in the ice and salt mix drops, freezing the container's contents. To ensure it freezes evenly, it is generally stirred or rotated.

In the 5th century BC ancient Greeks sold snow cones mixed with honey and fruit in the markets of Athens. Roman emperor Nero (37–68) had ice brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings. Today's ice treats likely originated with these ice delicacies made long ago.
According to Mageulonne Toussaint-Samat in her History of Food, "the Chinese may be credited with inventing a device to make sorbets and ice cream. They poured a mixture of snow and saltpetre over the exteriors of containers filled with syrup, for, in the same way as salt raises the boiling-point of water, it lowers the freezing-point to below zero.

Frederic Tudor.

The Tudor Ice company starting exporting ice to the Caribbean and India in 1826 by shipping huge chunks of ice from their farm in New England.
Even though most of it melted in transit enough survived to be of use to the locals in the tropical heat.
It was mixed with cream and sold from the ships harbour-side. The logic being that before refrigerators no one wanted ice cream where ice was naturally found as it was obviously too cold to enjoy.
This was the firs time that ice cream was sold in hot climes.
