Ice Cream Sodas At Home
By Violet Faulkner

MORE THAN three cen
turies ago, a French
chef in the household of
Charles I of England con
cocted a frozen dessert. The
king was so pleased with this
culinary masterpiece he sum
moned the chef and promised
him a yearly pension if he
would hold the recipe forever
a secret. But whether some
one else offered him a more
substantial bribe or a gossipy
cook couldn’t keep a good
thing to himself, the secret
leaked out.
The first appearance of ice
cream in America is recorded
in some old letters written
in 1700 by a guest of Gov.
Bladen of Maryland who said:
“Among the Rarities of which
it was Compos’d, was some
fine Ice Cream which, with
the Strawberries and Milk,
eat Most Deliciously.”
The ice cream soda has
become an American institu
tion. It’s a soda fountain
treat easily duplicated at
home. First, you need tall
glasses, straws, and long
handled spoons to make it
fun. To make a soda that is
as bubbly and frothy as the
best, the ingredients should
include well-chilled spark
ling water or carbonated bev
erages of your choice, a

cream.
