frozen proof that cold can taste like joy if you whisk it right
means A sweet frozen dessert made from churned cream or milk, sugar, and flavorings, eaten by the scoop before it melts.
from A plain English compound of 'ice' and 'cream,' first written as 'iced cream' — that is, cream that had been iced — before the phrase squeezed itself shut into 'ice cream.' 'Ice' descends from Old English 'is' (a cousin of German 'Eis'), while 'cream' arrived through Old French 'cresme,' tangled up with Late Latin roots. The treat itself has older, grander ancestors in chilled and sweetened concoctions enjoyed across Europe, but the homely English name is just the two ingredients, said one after the other.
- Ancient roots
- Persians flavored mountain snow with syrup centuries ago
- Brain freeze
- Actually a rapid blood-vessel spasm in your palate
- Mostly air
- Whipped-in air can be half a scoop's volume
- Cold trick
- Salt lowers ice's temperature below freezing to churn it
- Astronaut myth
- Freeze-dried 'space ice cream' never actually flew in space
