In the United States, the most popular flavor of ice cream is vanilla.
Thomas Jefferson, a prominent man in American history, first introduced vanilla ice cream to the United States in the 1780s. The recipe that Jefferson used called for vanilla, eggs, cream, sugar, and salt. Guests of Jefferson said that it tasted like, “Ice cream very good, crust wholly dried, crumbled into thin flakes.” This quote shows us that it was an amazing recipe, and has since evolved to become the most popular flavor in the United States.
Although Jefferson was not the first to introduce ice cream to the United States, its popularity definitely grew during his presidency. Six references say that it was served in the white house at some time during his Jefferson’s presidency, from 1801 to 1809. After he left (and during his presidency), businesses opened, and began to sell delicious ice cream in many flavors, and among the first, was vanilla. Since then, many prominent businesses have emerged, and have since added popularity to this delicious treat. One such monopoly is Ben and Jerry’s, a preeminent ice cream maker.
In conclusion, vanilla ice cream is an amazing treat worthy of genuine recognition.
