Tea and Biscuit Ice Creams — 4 Comments

  1. Well I could see coffee and biscuit ice creams being nice and tasty but I’m not so sure about tea and definitely not cucumber or ham!!!!
    It amazes me just how many strange things they used to eat. I believe a lot of fruit and spices were used in savoury dishes but I suppose that’s no different than today’s tagines.

    • Cucumber is actually a melon, not squash, so it actually tastes nice with a bit of sweetness, the ham though, just nope. One of the things I find fascinating about reading old recipes is to see how much tastes have changed and ponder why and what that might mean.

  2. I’ll skip the bread… but will keep the cookies and cream. Who knew it went back that far in history? I’ve often heard that there is nothing new under the sun and… lawd… here is the perfect example. This has been so much fun. Thanks for sharing this post. After eating all this ice cream, I’ll be moving into my big-butt pants. That’s OK… big-butts are popular now. Where was that style when I was younger?
