[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad grew up on a farm with no electricity. Ice cream took a lot of work to make, sugar was expensive and there was no way to store it long term.

Even for those who had electricity, during wwII there was sugar rationing and thus older people now were raised by people who considered it a treat and not something that the average person would have every day in their freezer. That’s also why they love the trip to the ice cream parlor. It reminds them of that time.

So for it him it has always been one of those luxury items. He used to make it for my kids with the old spinning thing and ice and salt.  I feel the same way about mail delivery on a Sunday and free long distance! Calling my friend in Germany just to chat for an hour - what a decadent thing!

My uncle stores his Amish neighbors’ ice cream in his freezer for them because they don’t use electricity. They buy ice cream even though they can’t keep it in their own homes. They’re not elderly. [/quote]

Is it really the neighbors' ice cream, or is he just saying it is?  :lol: [/quote]
