Whats the diffrence between a sunday and an ice-cream?or why do you use the word sunday for ice-creams?

Question

i am from greece and all of these stuff that you describe we call them ice-cream (or special ice-cream with the toppings and stuff) we dont use a diffrent word!
and by the way what is a soda ice cream?we dont have that either

Answer 1

It's not a Sunday, it's a Sundae. And Sundae's have jam and cream and sprinkles and things in them.

Answer 2

The difference between a sunday and a ice cream cone is that

a ice cream cone usually has only one type of flavor of ice cream on a cone.

Then a sundae is a variety of different flavors of ice cream ( like 1 scoops of chocolate, 1 scoops of vanilla, and1 scoop of strawberry).


Dont get confused between a sundae and a "banana split" because the banana split is the same as the sundae but it has also

a banana that is "split" ( that's why they call it a banana split)

and whip cream or marsh mellows with a chocolate or caramel syrup sauce and then finally to top it off with either a cherry, chucks of pineapple, strawberry slices, crushed nuts or a combination of everything.

Also that fizzy drink you were taking about, that's called a float because when you put in the soda the ice cream floats up to the top.
(usually the ice cream flavor in a float is vanilla)


I hope this helps.

PS: For the best ice cream brand in the world try looking for:

Dreyer's: Slow Churned Rich & Creamy

The creamest and half the calories and 1/3 the fat I think.

Answer 3

It is called a sundae because when it was first introduced people thought that it was too good (almost sinful)to eat on sunday. So it became nicknamed the sundae. And there are lots of ways to prepare it. BUt it is basically your choice of ice cream, some kind of sauce(syrup)-hot fudge, strawberry, caramel, pineapple, etc. marshmellow or whipped cream topping and some sort of sprinkle-chopped nuts, jimmis, reese's peaces' etc. and don't forget the cherry.

Answer 4

Your question made me hungry. Here are three interesting versions of its invention and make-up. Time to go to Dairy Queen!

Historians argue over the originator of the ice cream sundae, three historical probabilities are the most popular.
In the midwestern parts of United States, laws were once passed that prohibited the selling of soda water on a Sunday. The town of Evanston, Illinois was one of the first towns to pass such a law around the year 1890. As an alternative on Sundays, local soda fountains started selling ice cream sodas minus the soda, which left only the ice cream and syrup. That became the recipe of what was to become know as the ice cream sundae. Soda fountain owner, Ed Berners of Two Rivers, Wisconsin is reputed to have invented the first ice cream sundae in 1881. Hallauer requested that Berners serve him a dish of ice cream topped with the syrup used for sodas. Berner liked the dish and added it to his regular menu, charging a nickel.
George Giffy, a competing soda fountain owner from nearby Manitowoc, Wisconsin felt he had to serve the same syrupy concoction as Ed Berners. However, Giffy felt that the nickel price was too cheap and decided to only serve the dish on Sundays, which soon became the name of the dish - the Ice Cream Sunday. Once Giffy realized that he was making good money from the "Ice Cream Sunday" he changed the name to the "Ice Cream Sundae" and served it daily.
The ice cream sundae was invented by Chester Platt who owned the Platt & Colt's drugstore in 1893. Platt prepared a dish of vanilla ice cream for the Reverend John Scott on a Sunday. Chester Platt spiced up the ice cream with cherry syrup and a candied cherry. Reverend Scott named the dish after the day. An advertisement for "Cherry Sunday" served at the Platt & Colt's drugstore has helped document this claim.

Answer 5

This may be hard to believe but in the early to mid 1800s ice cream was considered to be so good and tempting that many churchs banned its' consumption on Sundays. To get around this an industrious soda fountain operator in the southeastern U.S. began serving a SUNDAE on Sundays. It was actually ice cream served in dish, usually with a sweet syrup or fruit. By not calling it ice cream he was able to get around the law. Believe it or Not.

Answer 6

Everyone has answered the difference between them. I heard a story that a small, conservative town in the mid-west (like Ohio or Illinois) had banned many things on Sunday, as it was the Lord's sabbath day, including buying and enjoying an ice cream. One shop rebelled, and offered a delicious treat called a Sundae, for those who didn't agree. This was supposedly earlier in the century, before the 1950s.

Answer 7

A sundae, not sunday, is made by heaping toppings such as caramel, hot fudge, other syrups, usually topped off with whipped cream , perhaps nuts and a cherry. Sundae does not mean ice cream itself.

Answer 8

Ice cream is just plain ice cream. A Sundae is ice cream with syrup and toppings on it.

Answer 9

A sundae has a banana and other fruits and sauces with the ice cream. Ice cream without all that is just....ice cream!

Answer 10

ice cream can be served many ways, for instance in a cone, a bowl, floating in root beer, on a stick, a shake, etc. a sundae is served in a dish with some sort of topping(s). i think usually people mean ice cream in a cone when they use the term "an ice cream".

Answer 11

Ice cream is just that...ice cream; even if you add mix-ins.

A sundae is "dressed up"...like a party for your mouth! A sundae has ice cream, but it also includes: wet or dry nuts (pecan/walnuts), syrup (hot fudge, strawberry, pineapple or caramel, etc.), whipped cream and a cherry on top!
