Question

Did you know? Ice cream is not a modern Western idea: the Persians were eating a sort of sorbet of fruit juice and mountain snow as early as 500 BC, kept in underground coolhouses ("yakhchāl"). Roman emperor Nero even had snow brought from the Apennines for honey-ice.

Accepted Answer

Ice cream is not a modern Western idea: the Persians were eating a sort of sorbet of fruit juice and mountain snow as early as 500 BC, kept in underground coolhouses ("yakhchāl"). Roman emperor Nero even had snow brought from the Apennines for honey-ice.

IJs is geen modern westers idee: de Perzen aten al rond 500 v.Chr. een soort sorbet van fruitsap met sneeuw uit de bergen, bewaard in ondergrondse koelhuizen ("yakhchāl"). De Romeinse keizer Nero liet zelfs sneeuw van de Apennijnen halen voor honing-ijs.
