Why did the Soviet ice cream was the best in the world

Favourite treats began more than five thousand years ago.
Even in ancient Rome, Emperor Nero allowed himself so cold and sweet dessert.
Today, there is a national standard - GOST ice cream milk-cream sundae. "Gostovskaya ice cream, so is milk-basedĀ».
So what's the charm of the Soviet ice cream, why they all admired?




In fact, of course, we all remember the ice cream one. Previously, because of another ice-cream but butter, milk, ice cream we had. Pronounced milky flavor - that's what distinguishes the Soviet ice cream.

Butter, cream, fruit and berry, waffle cups with cream-colored roses, popsicle, horn with chocolate icing ... Here it is - the era of ice cream! Its as legends. Yet the secret of the unique taste?

1. We owe this to GOST 117-41, in which you and a favorite delicacy of Soviet children. He was considered one of the toughest in the world and has been introduced March 12, 1941 in the domestic "shade" was not a single preservative, only natural milk! And all kinds of ice cream were produced on a single technology. Therefore, the taste of dessert in any city of the Union was the same!
Initially, the Soviet authorities ice cream did not indulge his attention and called the product of the bourgeois taste. What could not discredit him in the eyes of the proletarian public. Over time, the government's attitude to the dairy delicacy "thawed", and after the war it began to promote in every possible way.



2. The Soviet price:
Ice cream with "The Swan" (13 kopecks), dairy (9 kopecks), fruit (7 kopecks), chocolate "popsicle" small (11 kopecks), large (22 kopecks), "Leningrad" chocolate (28 kopecks), in a waffle cup butter with cream rosettes (28 kopecks), and ice-cream cake with cream.



3. For the first time in the ice cream industry rails set in the 30s. The Decree of the USSR People's Commissar of food Anastas Mikoyan, who insisted that the cream should be mass produced food and at affordable prices. According to the People's Commissar, a Soviet citizen should eat for a year at least five kilos of ice cream! Fueled by the fact that the United States has long held the palm in this matter. In America produced 600 thousand tons of ice cream, while in the Soviet Union - only 8. It was decided to change the situation radically, and Mikoyan went to the United States - for the purchase of necessary equipment. Already 4 November 1937 in the USSR was issued the first Soviet treat. Then he opened the cold storage facilities in Moscow, Leningrad, Kharkov. In 1940, a powerful ice cream factory earned in Kiev.



4. We must pay tribute to the quality of products. Each batch of snow goodies evaluated on a 100-point system. Any deviation from the taste, color or smell considered marriage. In addition, while the ice cream is limited to one week. (Now the ice cream can be stored for about six months!) So in terms of production and consumption of ice cream Soviet Union ranks second in the world after the United States. Exports are annually sent 2 tonnes. Abroad, the Soviet ice-cream are prestigious class. It was served only in expensive restaurants by far "soviet" price.



5. In the homeland of the most delicious ice cream in the world is not kept pace stale - dismantled immediately. Sold in bulk or packed by 50 or 100 g of street stalls, kiosks or cafes. In 50 years on the streets of enticing hung banners that adorned the penguins with Eskimo - a symbol of Soviet ice-cream.



6. - A glass of "creamy" was worth 22 kopecks, another 3 could take the filler - jam or grated chocolate. It was still a popsicle 24 a penny, but it was sold at only one point and very rare. When the ice cream just brought, it gained five or six packs just to have enough for the whole family. Auntie in colorful bonnet opened a metal container, and you choose the one you want. If the ice cream was over, the saleswoman said happily: "It will be after 2 hours" or sad: "The queue does not occupy," and then everything started to buzz angrily.



7. kiosks ice cream is not often, at best, three times a week. Therefore, the queue lining up serious. How cursed the people who came from the villages of ice cream! They stuffed their three-liter jar, delaying long queue. The cafe sold ice cream, it was applied with colored balls in ice cream with a spoon. There was also a chocolate, creme brulee, fruit, champagne and even a soda pop or fruit sauce ...



8. For the children in the villages of the ice cream was a real miracle - in the local stores did not deliver it. Therefore deficit learned to treat themselves: in the circle kneaded snow, mixed with sour cream and sugar. It turned out almost like a present, even looked clumsy.



9. Some of the Soviet ice-cream were unique. For example, a waffle cup with cream rosettes on top, or the famous "Gourmet." Her appearance we owe the discovery of mechanics, who in the 70s invented a special nozzle. With it began to put the icing on the thread and not a "dipĀ».



10. There were tomato ice cream that many people do not remember. But those who tried it, can not forget the taste ever. Some considered him a rare muck, others would like to return the clock to try just once more. - "Tomato" was sold in a paper cup with a stick in the bargain.
- The taste of a kind. It is a pity that now it is no longer available. It was cheap, only 10 cents. Well, if you did not have a penny, it happens pereroesh apartment upside down vyvernesh pockets and can run for ice cream!



11. This production was considered ice cream "Chestnut" for 28 kopecks - the price is equal to nine tram ride! - Fruit of the ice cream is not considered,
- Higher measure was a rare pleasure "Chestnut." What there was chocolate - for the ears ottyanesh!
Not now, bites, and all the chocolate crumbles like a needle with a dry tree.



12. The end of the Soviet ice cream came with perestroika. But since 1990 the country has covered the flow of imported ice cream is clearly a chemical filler. The taste of the Soviet remained in the memories of older generations.



13. And finally, on yet another ice cream without the use of words describe this photo: 1962. Cannes. A friend of Federico Fellini - Anouk Aimee ice cream treats paparazzi ;-)
