By the end of the 18th century - we are SO CLOSE to ice cream - but we are not there yet. But I want to set the scene that dessert is becoming a thing, and that all the pieces are there. Sitting there, just waiting to be ice cream.

I mean Jefferson has a recipe in his own hand - likely told to him by his enslaved, Paris trained, French speaking, Black cook, James Hemmings. And George Washington had an ice cream freezer among his presidential party throwing accoutrements - likely used by his masterful enslaved cook - Hercules.

But none of that happens until AFTER the war. This episode is to let you know, ice cream did not come out of thin air. This is the background. Find out what it is!
