Ice Cream Van Hire East Kilbride
A&M Event Catering Scotland provide an ice cream van hire service throughout East Kilbride.
There are various stories of historical figures who had their own versions of ice cream. Alexander the Great liked snow flavoured with honey while Emperor Nero sent people up into the mountains to collect ice and snow that was then flavoured with fruit. Charles I of England liked his ‘cream ice’ so much he paid the chef to keep the recipe secret so it was just a royal treat.
But word got out and the craze spread around Europe. One of the first places to serve it to the public was Café Procope in France in the late 17th century. Their ice cream was made with a mixture of cream, milk, butter and eggs but was still an elite treat that had yet to reach the lower classes.
The ice cream trend is massive in the US and the first mention was in 1744 when a Scottish colonist visited the house of the Governor of Maryland, Thomas Bladen, and wrote about the amazing strawberry ice cream he had there.
US Presidents were a bit obsessed with it too. George Washington had two special pewter ice cream pots made and spent over $200 one summer along on it (a lot of money back then!). He even created his own recipe for vanilla ice cream while his wife made her own strawberry ice cream for his second inaugural banquet.
Today ice cream is as popular as ever and a new addition to its range is the ability to have ice cream van hire in East Kilbride. No more waiting around for the ice cream man to turn up, you can have your own dedicated van at whatever event you are planning.
