National Vanilla Ice Cream Day
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice scream!
National Vanilla Ice Cream Day is observed annually on 23 July, honouring the most popular flavour of ice cream. This day is part of National Ice Cream Month, and is just after National Ice Cream Day.
In North America, vanilla flavouring is most commonly used for ice cream, and is considered by most as the default flavour.
It is believed that Thomas Jefferson discovered the vanilla flavour while in France and later introduced it to the United States. A copy of the hand written vanilla ice cream recipe, which was written by Jefferson in the 1780’s, is housed at the Library of Congress. The Thomas Jefferson ice cream is available at Mr. Rushmore in South Dakota.
To celebrate, get a recipe for home made ice cream and make your own. Go out for a vanilla ice cream with your friends or scoop a dish full from the ice cream in your freezer.
