Do you like eating ice-cream? The earliest ice was eaten in China many years ago. People put fruit juice into ice. Later, this idea spread to Italy. Nero, the emperor of Rome between 54 AD and 68 AD, liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountain to get snow and then quickly run back to the palace. And the snow was mixed with fruit juice and honey.
Around 1660, coffee shops serving ice-cream were very popular in Paris. Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians. The first successful one was opened by a man from Italy named Francesco Procopio.
Ice-cream was probably passed to America in the early 1700s. Dolly Madison, the wife of President Madison, was the first one to serve her guests ice-cream in the White House.
Before ice-cream was sold in stores, it was made and frozen(冷冻) at home. It took lots of work to mix cream, eggs, fruit, ice and salt, and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman made the hand-turned ice-cream freezer(冷冻机) in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened the first ice-cream store in Baltimore, Maryland.
