口味惊人的冰淇淋Amazing flavors

　　From the king’s table, it didn’t take long for ice cream to become popular worldwide. American presidents Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were both big fans of the dessert. In fact, Washington paid almost US $200 (a huge sum in his day!) for a vanilla ice cream recipe.
　　原为王室御用甜点的冰淇淋，很快便广受世人的欢迎。美国总统汤玛斯·杰佛逊和乔治·华盛顿都特别爱吃冰淇淋。事实上，华盛顿曾经花了两百块美金(这在当时可是一笔大数目！)只为了取得一份制作香草冰淇淋的配方。

　　The biggest problem with ice cream was how to serve the sweet treat. Most vendors sold it in tiny glasses called “penny licks.” However, customers often broke or stole the glasses, which cost vendors a lot of money.
　　当时吃冰淇淋最大的问题在于：要用什么容器盛装这道甜点。大部分小贩将冰淇淋装在叫作“一分舔”小玻璃杯中贩售(编者按：当时的人花一分钱买一小杯冰淇淋舔着吃)。不过消费者常打破或偷走装冰淇淋的玻璃杯，这让小贩们赔了不少钱。

　　The invention of the ice cream cone solved this problem. Many people believe ice cream cones were invented at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. There, ice cream and waffle vendors combined their products and served ice cream in portable waffle cones. Records show, however, that ice cream was already being served in edible containers as early as 1888.
　　冰淇淋甜筒的发明解决了这个问题。很多人认为甜筒是在1904年的圣路易世界博览会发明的。在该博览会中，卖冰淇淋和卖松饼的小贩将他们的产品结合起来，用卷成锥状的松饼来盛装冰淇淋，好让顾客外带享用。但根据历史记载，早在公元1888年就有人以可食用的容物来盛装冰淇淋了。

　　Today, ice cream is eaten from Taipei to Tunisia to Toronto. In most places, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla are bestsellers. In Japan, though, ice cream comes in an amazing range of flavors. Chicken wing, eel, or wasabi ice cream, anyone?
　　现今，从台北、突尼斯到多伦多，到处都有人吃冰淇淋。在大多数的地方，巧克力、草莓和香草是最畅销的口味。但在日本，冰淇淋的口味多得惊人。鸡翅、鳗鱼或是芥末冰淇淋，有没有人想尝尝看？
