5 types of Soviet ice cream
We eat ice cream in 30-degree heat and 25-degree cold, and every year, according to statistics, "destroy" more than half a million tons of favorite treats, some species of which have reached us from the Soviet era.
Symbol era
The era of the ice cream in the Soviet Union started in 1936, when the People's Commissar of food Anastas Mikoyan, after his visit to America, formulated the main task: "to make the ice cream mass product, releasing it at an affordable price." A year later, with rolled off the first batch of goodies. Its produced by single guests, so in every city of the country citizens ate the same kinds of ice cream. However, the range of ice cream to the province reached a truncated form.
True symbol of the era was a popsicle. Advertise a new product using the penguin decided to be associated by the consumer with the cold, and apparently with the exotic. The first decades of the Soviet popsicle was exclusively handmade products: glazed portion of each packer carefully wrapped in paper. Wand, incidentally, was applied separately. And only in 1947, with the advent of special equipment, the issue has become more ambitious popsicle (it started to make not only in the capital), and the ice cream itself acquired a kind of "that" popsicle stick.
One of the most delicious popsicle thought with a name is not available, it seemed nothing to do with ice cream - "Chestnut". Part with 28 pennies per serving without looking - too rarely "thrown" "Chestnut" in the sale. Even less could not buy cream sundae "Chestnut" and chocolate.
«Gourmand»
Introduced in the mid 70's "Gourmand" almost immediately became one of the most favorite delicacies of Soviet citizens. Value expensive ice cream - 28 cents. Shell out to acquire it too often could not everyone, therefore the eating of "Gourmet" became almost a holiday. The traditional "tube" of the 12% solution of ice cream produced on Moskhladokombinate №8 western production line, which was not unique in the Union. A distinguishing feature of the product is that the glaze is not applied on the production line, and dipping method. According to legend, this technology was made possible by the invention of a nameless locksmith craftsmen invented a special nozzle. Basis "Gourmand" could be white or chocolate, but the glazing - exclusively from milk chocolate. Clone "Gourmand" ice cream was "The Nutcracker" in which the chocolate glaze generously seasoned with crushed nuts.
Sundae 48 cents
His legendary Soviet ice cream flavor obliged single guest who was listed in the documentation under the symbol 117-41. It was introduced in March 1941 and was considered almost the toughest in the world - only natural ingredients and no "chemistry»!
One of the most expensive types of ice cream was ice cream for 48 cents. But the cost of its ingredients determined not particularly complex or compounding, and the volume of the portions. According Soviet producers, one 250-gram ice cream was enough for the whole family. How wrong they were! Every (!) Family member ate the whole batch in one sitting, generously pouring crisp white delicacy jam or sprinkled with grated chocolate. "Family" ice cream is packed in foil jammed into the large cup of paper or paperboard. Incidentally, it was said that those same boxes from under the "great ice cream" glued to a mental hospital. In the child's mind is aroused horror from which eating ice cream made it even nicer.
Berry and not only ...
The lowest ratings among Soviet children had fruit and berry ice cream (also called berry). But if you're "on the rocks", and ice cream horror as you want, then, as they say, and "fruit and berry - ice cream." To buy it, I had to scrape together only a 7 cents, and the coveted paper cup with bright red content found himself in the hands. By the way, buy fruit and berry ice cream was not easy: either let him little because of the unpopularity, or, on the contrary, it quickly sold out, including because of the low cost.
Later came the yellow ice cream with exotic pineapple or lemon flavor. It does not matter that it was not as tasty as ice cream or butter, the main thing - yellow! And the old-timers still remember the color of green tea ice cream and "tomato". Last produced in wafer cups, and top traditionally covered ice cream paper circle with a image of a pretty tomato, invites you to taste exotic product. Taste "tomato" ice cream, talking, was disgusting, so no wonder that it quickly enough removed from production. However, today the ice cream "tomato" was reinvigorated. Its hard, but can be found on the shelves of Russian, while in Japan, for example, ice cream-based tomato, cream and garlic sold in almost every store.
Two in one
Stoically endure surgery to remove the tonsils Soviet child could only when learned that the entire post-operative period it will be fed ice cream at public expense. Most likely, the most beloved - Sundae. But then the parents can take this opportunity to order ice cream, some unusual and rare. The choice often falls on it, in which combines gastronomic dreams of all Soviet children - ice cream and cake in one package. Ice cream in a waffle cup, decorated with rosettes of pale cream, worth 19 cents. It can still be found in stores, with the appearance and so beloved childhood rosette not undergone seem significant changes.
The legendary ice cream was ice cream from the Main Department Store. Waffle cups - creme brulee, chocolate, butter - first thing in several generations associated GUM. It is still produced in the GUM, and the secret of its flavor is kept in secrecy.
In the production department are not allowed, not only outsiders - journalists and curious, but even store employees.
