    Being from israel, our ice cream culture is quite simillar to the american one, except people eat more sorbets here (be it the large population of vegans here, or the even larger amount of people who eat kosher but still want ice cream for dessert after a meat meal heeh)

    My favorite flavor of ice cream is banana, but it's not my favorite fruit. That would probably be cantaloupe. I wonder if anyone makes cantaloupe ice cream.

    You should do a show on American Football. I was never big into football, American or otherwise, but how this has become such a cultural phenomenon has always bewildered me.

    It is worthy to note that while consumer electric refrigerators date back to 1913 and freezers to 1929, much of the commercial ice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was not sourced "from mountains or glaciers" (or more general lakes/rivers in winter in continental climates) but instead produced by mechanical refrigeration (i.e. with the refrigerator compressor powered directly by an engine without the middleman of electricity). And civilizations dating back to antiquity did store ice over the summer/in adverse climates in highly-insulated ice houses, though these, of course, could only slow its melt… with the exception of the Persian yakhchāls, which could use evaporative and radiative cooling to create small amounts of ice under the right conditions.

    As a recent subscriber, I'm enjoying the series but I'm never really sure if the speaker's tone and halting delivery style aren't a super subtle sarcasism attack of some kind. Still, good job. Keep it up.

    In many continental European countries – the UK follows the US model of ice cream flavours – flower based ice creams are still quite common and have existed for a long time, nowadays in a kind of co-existence with American flavours. Probably the most popular being rose and violet flavoured ice creams.
