1.
No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices
may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In
time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs
and the Persians. The Persians called their dish Sharbat, from which our word sherbet
（冰冻果
子露）

comes.

Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the
Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on,
ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.

In 1533, when Catherine de Medici left Italy to marry the future King Henry
Ⅱ
of France, she
took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them
was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different
flavor of her favorite dessert -
“ice cream”.

At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in
1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold
ice cream at prices people could a
fford. Procopio’s “ice cream parlor” became so popular that
other shops were opened.

About 1640, King Charles
Ⅰ
introduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in
Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great
success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that
only royalty should be served the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly
became the rage in England too.
