Live 雜誌館 Live ABC雜誌授權 第207號 1. Do you have sweet tooth for ice cream? 2. People say that women have more cravings for such dessert. Do you agree? 3. Which flavor of ice cream do you like the most? Live ABC雜誌授權 第207號 Taiwan: baobing Japan: mochi ice cream Korea: patbingsu /shaved ice USA: frozen yogurt Germany: spaghettieis Italy: gelato Live ABC雜誌授權 第207號 Now that it’s summer, it’s time for some refreshingly cold treats. And that means more than just scoops and cones of ice cream; there’s a whole world of frozen treats out there that many of us have never seen. Let’s have a taste! One delicious cold treat is faloodeh, an ancient Persian dish that is one of the world’s oldest frozen desserts. Often consisting of rice noodles and syrup made from chilled sweet rose water, faloodeh is quite different from ice cream. A little sour-cherry syrup on top adds some tartness to the sweetness. Live ABC雜誌授權 第207號 A traditional frozen dessert in India is kulfi, which is often served on a stick. It looks similar to ice cream, but as kulfi is made from condensed milk and isn’t whipped, it’s much denser and melts more slowly, making it great for hot days. Flavors such as rose and mango are popular. Fruit lovers often prefer sorbet, a dairy-free frozen dessert often flavored with a sweet syrup made with fruit juice. A similar dessert that’s popular in the United States is sherbet. Not surprisingly, these two dishes are often confused. The difference is sherbet has a small amount of milk or cream added to make it a bit creamier. Live ABC雜誌授權 第207號 1. frozen (adj.)

The dish is a popular Thai street food. Watching someone make it only adds to the fun of eating it. A mix of milk and cream is poured onto a cold metal surface, and toppings are blended into the freezing mixture with spatulas. Once the resulting sheet of ice cream is frozen, the vendor scrapes off sections with a spatula, causing them to roll forward. Another brilliant ice cream that must be seen to be believed is dondurma. This Turkish treat is often sold from carts by vendors wearing traditional Turkish clothing. Dondurma is very thick, sticky, and stretchy, and it’s handled with a long stick. The vendor Live ABC雜誌授權 第207號 constantly churns and stretches the dondurma. When someone wants some, the vendor collects the ice cream on a stick and puts the cone on the end for the customer to grab. A common amusement is for vendors to tease the customer by repeatedly twisting the stick to move the cone out of reach before it is finally given. What better way to beat the heat than with a treat?
