History of Frozen Food

Freezing can keep foods fresh. Freezing foods slow down decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species. They are convenient, easy-to-prepare, nutritious, delicious, and they make our busy life-styles seem a bit easier. Frozen foods seem as if they were recently invented, but in fact, they have existed for a long time, much longer than you think.

Happy Valentines day

Romantic ice cream!

One  love poem:

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.

– Pablo Neruda

For example, a bag of IQF blueberries, it does not simply contain a solid block of frozen blueberries, but rather, each of the individual frozen blueberries is loose inside the bag.

Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige - Stay With Me (57th GRAMMYs)

Guess it's true
I'm not good
At a one night stand

But I still need love
Cos I'm just a man

These nights never seem to go to plan

I don't want you to leave
Will you hold my hand

the Largest Ice Cream Scoop in the World

June 28, 2014, to commemorate its 100th anniversary, Kemps Dairy set the record for the largest scoop of ice cream in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The historic serving tipped the scales at 1,365.31 kg (3,010 lb). The flavor of the ice cream is refreshing strawberry. The scoop measured 5 ft, 6 in (1.67 m) tall and 6 ft, 2 in (1.88 m) wide, containing approximately 733 household containers of ice cream combined into one mass. To accomplish this, Kemps enlisted five nationally-ranked snow sculptors from Minnesota Big Snow to carve 733 containers worth of strawberry ice cream. According to Kemps, the amount of ice cream used would fill an entire football field. The feat was verified by a Guinness World Records judge. Once the record was officially set at 12 Noon that day, hundreds of Strawberry Festival attendees had the exclusive opportunity to actually eat a part of Kemps’ historic scoop.

Ice Cream around the World-Argentina

Helado is a Spanish word for ice cream. The most traditional Argentine helado is very similar to Italian gelato, rather than US-style ice cream, and it has become one of the most popular desserts in Argentine. Lots of people think that Argentina ice cream is delicious enough to compete with the likes of Spain and Italy. While industrial ice cream exists in Argentina, it can be found in supermarkets, kiosks or restaurants, and ice cream pops are sold on some streets and at the beaches. The most famous manufacturers in Argentine are "Freddo," "Chungo," "Persicco," and "Munchi's," ,and all of them located in Buenos Aires. Each city has its own heladerías (ice cream parlours) which offer different varieties of creamy and water-based ice creams, including both standard and regional flavours.  But the most traditional and popular one in Argentina is dulce de leche. If you have ever been to Argentina, or simply tasted dulce de leche, this shouldn’t surprise you.

The cones and cups are serious business in Argentina. There are so many different ice cream receptacles to choose from. When you ordering a scoop (or several) ice ceam, you will often be asked "vasito o cucurucho?". It is a complicated question.
