National Ice Cream Cone Day

National Ice Cream Cone Day is the answer to everyone who does not know how to eat ice cream without getting their hands dirty. The answer is extremely simple – an ice cream cone. Before the advent of this delicacy, many associated ice cream with a mess – dirty hands, clothes, and faces. The cone solution is simple, and at the same time, tasty. It is even surprising why it took so many decades for confectioners to think of it.

History

It is noteworthy that waffle cones were already known in 1825; there are entries about them in a French cookbook. It is believed they were invented by immigrants from Italy who came to England in the early 19th century. According to some reports, ice cream in cones was eaten in Germany in the 19th century, but such cases were rare, since the delicacy was served mainly in special dishes. September 22, 1903, is considered the official birthday of the waffle cone. On this day, Italo Marchioni, an ice cream seller, patented his invention. It has since become National Ice Cream Day.
