🍫 National Chocolate Ice Cream Day 🍫

What can I say? What a wonderful thing to have a celebration day for!

There can't be many people that don't like ice cream, especially chocolate ice cream, but, oddly enough, vanilla is still the most popular.

The Italians froze hot chocolate way back in the 1690's and is a very close second to vanilla. Personally I prefer chocolate!!

They think today was started by an ice cream manufacturer to sell more of his chocolate ice cream. As if we need to be encouraged to eat chocolate ice cream, I ask you!

Up till the late 1800s, it was only the rich that could afford ice cream.

Chocolate ice cream is so versatile - you can add it to all sorts of things like desserts and milkshakes. Oh heaven! Pass the milk, please.

To celebrate the day, eat chocolate ice cream. It doesn't matter if it's the evening when you are curled up watching tv, or early in the day, go to your local ice cream parlour, if you are lucky enough to have one nearby and order something with chocolate ice cream in.

Whatever you do, enjoy some chocolate ice cream today, and let us know what you add it to, if anything, or whether you eat it as is.

All are welcome.
And please feel free to share all discussions you enjoy.
