Sundae or Ice Cream?

Those that are served in cones, for me they are all ice cream. On the other hand, it was only in high school years that I was able to realize that not all of it are called ice cream. There are sundaes and gelatos, sorbet and frozen custard too. How do you differentiate sundae from ice cream?

The two are prepared and somehow made from the same ingredients. Milk, sugar, cream, fruits or other ingredients for flavor. A simple ice cream is served in cone. Like the photo below. I remember an ice cream man always on the street and his bell is ringing.

The first ice cream I have ever tasted was from the supermarket. It was also served in cone and that was fruit salad flavor. Later, I tried vanilla, macapuno, chocolate and cookies'n cream and more.

Sundae. I think I like sundae better than the usual ice cream. The difference is the texture. For me, sundae is more soft and melts faster in the mouth. I do not say that ordinary ice creams doesn't melt. Sundae is also a type of ice cream but unlike the ordinary ice cream, it has toppings mostly syrup glazed on top of it. Other would top some nuts and cherries, or even gummies

Look at these two following photos of ice cream yogurt and sundae served in cup. They look like candies but the candies are just on top. It adds more flavor and sweetness to the frozen desert. Additionally, it contributes to the pleasing appearance of the desert.

The fact is, there is nothing really different from the two aside from their names and the spelling of their names. All of it are frozen deserts that makes our day brighter and cooler when the situation in our everyday lives is a little hot to handle.

What is your favorite sundae, or ice cream? Enjoy and Crave.

Do you know who was the first person to make an ice cream cone? Neither do I. But as I have researched online, edible cones first existed in Europe during the World Fair in 1904. Later, it was introduced in America during the Saint Louis World's Fair.

 Today, more variations of ice cream cones are available in the market. Sometimes I even have a hard time to think what cone I'd like mine to be served. Albeit sugarcone is my favorite, I still go with the giant cone.

 Ice cream in cones are not only for kids. I always see kids going crazy and display tantrums when they can't have ice cream. I even notice that they won't accept the ice cream unless served in cone. Oh boy, it's hard to raise kids. Something just came to my mind. So, yeah. Ice cream in cones are also for young adults like me. Or even to senior citizens. It has been a usual way to serve ice cream.

We are used to see ice cream in cones. Like me, I love to have my ice cream served on it. However, there are also various types of cones. My favorite is sugar cone. How it differs from other cone is the thickness. It does not melt easily and sweet in flavor compared with the ordinary cone. How about you, what is your favorite ice cream cone?
