ICE CREAM
CONE
In its
purest form an ice cream cone should be of conical shape. The first true
edible conical shaped cone for serving ice cream was created at the St.
Louis Worlds Fair by Ernest Hamwi in 1904.
His waffle booth was next to an ice cream vendor who
ran short of dishes. Hamwi rolled a waffle to contain ice cream and the
cone was born. |
