National Ice Cream Day & Ice Cream Month
July is National Ice Cream Month (USA)
3rd Sunday in July:
National Ice Cream Day
Join in the celebration and make your own homemade
ice cream.
It’s
hard to imagine greater fun!
In the USA more ice cream is consumed per head than any other country
in the world – such is the love of ice cream amongst Americans. This
is reflected in other ways too, not least by the fact that the USA has
its own ‘National Ice Cream Month’. Since 1984, when President
Reagan proclaimed that National Ice Cream Month be celebrated annually,
every July has been a focus for greater attention to ice cream in the United
States with the 3rd Sunday of that month each year being National Ice Cream
Day.
The International
Dairy Foods Association website has more details about this special
ice cream day celebration as well as lots of other information about
ice cream production, dairy farming etc.
Why not use this day to make your own - and perhaps
very first - Knickerbocker Glory or
celebrate by watching a classic Laurel & Hardy short movie "Come Clean"
which has contains a wonderful ice cream scene. If you've never seen
it, read our special page on Laurel &
Hardy and Ice Cream. You'll see
what we mean!
