What was so special about the composition of Soviet ice cream that everyone does not stop talking about it

Older people remember so often. Soviet ice creamThat cool sweetness has almost become a meme. It seems that in a huge country of 300 million people, there was nothing better. And therefore, against the background of the general meager range of products, ordinary cream ice cream seemed the limit of dreams.



Today's edition. "Site" Let’s talk about that famous treat. Maybe we're wrong, and the ice cream was really unique? After all, so many people cannot in vain reject any modern sweets in favor of Soviet filling. Or can they?

Soviet ice cream in the USSR was really popular, it was sold in summer and even in winter. Many people still believe that ice cream cools in the summer heat. That's not exactly true, though. Only the taste buds in the mouth are actually cooled. But the delicacy itself is quite high-calorie, and eating it rather warms the body, rather than refreshing.



Ice cream in rectangular packs (margarine was sold in similar packages). The ice cream was placed between two waffles. Carefully open such a pack, hold your fingers on both sides and eat, slowly unfolding the package.

Ice cream was sold in street trays, and in stalls, and even in special establishments like “ice cream cafe”. For example, in Belarus, “milk bars” were popular, where ice cream was served in the form of balls in plastic vases. Often it was here that the cavaliers appointed dates for the girls, which was even considered a sign of good tone.

Maybe there were some secret ingredients in the treat? It does not seem, because there are only egg yolks, cream, milk, sugar and some vanilla (or vanilla sugar). But if such ice cream competes with caramel, ordinary sugar, halva, marshmallow, homemade jam or honey, then he definitely has a chance for the favor of the client.



Inexperienced Soviet citizens (especially children) ate ice cream with great pleasure. But if you want to feel “that unique taste”, then prepare a delicacy according to a recipe proven for decades.
