I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream. For now, let's talk about Ice-cream itself and not the song!

Ice cream's origins are known to reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no specific date of origin nor inventor has been undeniably credited with its discovery. Over a thousand years later, Marco Polo returned to Italy from the Far East with a recipe that closely resembled what is now called sherbet.

Historians estimate that this recipe evolved into ice cream sometime in the 16th century. England seems to have discovered ice cream at the same time, or perhaps even earlier than the Italians.
