History of ice cream
ice cream
Other than the obvious similarity, do you know of the historical connection between the krumkake and cone? I realize they seem to be linked, but do you have any proof? I want to edit the wikipedia article for both icecream coans and krunkake, but I need more than suposition. I need the historical connection. Do you know it?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a student of ice cream cone or Krumkake history. I do know the more recent history of the cone that I published because I lived it. If you've read the History of the Ice Cream Cone that is posted out there it is all conjecture. My comment on this subject is as follows:
ReplyDeleteHistorically, you will have to research that. There are some good websites that have documented the history of the ice cream cone. Personally I think it's obvious. Europe has always been a well traveled area of the world. In fact, travelling is what we as humans do best. After all we did walk from Africa to the tip of South America during the course of our collective history.
I think that once people have a taste of one culture's crispy cookie they will naturally relate it to what they are familiar with in their own country. Proof! I have none. An example of cultures affecting one another is historic. Even back in biblical times there was nothing new under the sun. People visited each others cultures and and brought with or took away what was best of each other. Even the history of the virgin birth is not unique to Christ. It was repeated way before the bible came along. It's not a leap to think that people new of the cone for ice cream long ago. Paris as you know had glass shaped cones to hold their ice cream way before the cone came along. Don't you think that someone seeing that in Paris would have put two and two together and rolled a krumkake into a cone and filled it with custard or whipped cream? Then caused someone else to go: "Ah-Ha".
Good luck with gathering the facts. If you succeed with making a conection, please drop me a line. Not all history is fact, a lot of it is subjective. Example: the history of war is usually put in the books by the winner.
Very Respectfully,
