Ice cream flavors: From whale poo to vanilla
Forever Ago kicks off the new season with everybody\u2019s summer favorite: ice cream!
In this episode Joy and co-host Maeve explore the many flavors of this frozen treat. Historian Rosa Abreu tells us why classic vanilla is anything but boring. We\u2019ll also check out some historical tastes of the past, including mace, orange blossom, and ambergris. That last one comes out of a whale\u2019s intestine and was considered a delicacy.
We\u2019ll learn about how ice cream was a symbol of the rich and powerful, long before everyone had a freezer in their kitchen. Join us for the scoop on what really goes into your sundae.
