Most of us had their first encounter with ice cream in the form of delicious scoops served in tasty cones in our childhood. Cones always were a favorite, as they made for a tasty treat which would cool us down in the summer heat and make an edible container for a cold snack. The frosty smoothness of the ice cream complements the crispy crunch of the cone, together creating an interesting taste combination. There are almost as many stories of how the ice cream cone was invented as there are flavors that it holds!
