| EVERYBODY LOVES
ICE CREAM |
At first, commercial ice cream was
a treat to be bought and eaten
immediately because home
kitchens didn’t have effective
freezers until the mid-1920s and
1930s. Before electric or gaspowered
freezers, having ice
cream at home likely meant that
someone had to turn the crank of
a hand ice cream freezer full of
milk or cream, sugar, flavoring,
and perhaps a thickener for twenty
minutes or more.
