= =  Ice Cream I Scream for Ice Cream Ice Cream (or Iced Cream) is a delicious and creamy treat that you can enjoy during the summertime. You might not realize the history and the different styles and brands of ice cream. In this wikispace, you'll find: the history of ice cream/inventor, different brands of ice cream, different recipes, common flavors, and different places you can buy your delicious treat!

=History / inventor= "The 'inventor' of ice cream is not yet proven, but has came to be over the years of similar efforts..." (foodsci.com) Don't you think it is odd that there's no inventor, but the ice cream look and taste was passed down through many years of people adding onto it? The first person who made up the idea was created more than hundred years ago from a french cook named DeMirco, who worked for Charles I of England. The king hosted a state banquet for his friends and family. After the meals were served, DeMirco brought out a cold dinner desert, much creamier and sweeter than the normal deserts. It resembled freshly fallen snow and it was very cold.The guests and the king were delighted and DeMirco to keep the recipe a secret and would only be served at the royal table. Soon the king's people got angry at him, and beheaded him. At that time, DeMirco was struggling to keep his recipe a secret. The cook had told someone the recipe, and he did not keep his promise to the king. Indeed, it is said the Roman Empire sent slaves to get snow from the mountains so they could make ice cream, but the people did not get the idea from each other. So, they are technically both the inventors, but they didn't invent the ice cream we have today. It was very different back then, and as foodsci.com said, different people added onto it to reach what it is today.
