What it is?
The appearance of the ice-cream bowl goes back to France from the time of Marie Antoinette, who was the last queen of this country. The great passion of this woman was champagne, which was always at court. For tasting the queen wished that she made a glass to order, which will be the most voluminous and low. Externally, the product turned out spectacular, and the champagne in it looked very beautiful, because in that era whole pyramids were built from such glasses, if they organized some kind of reception in the kingdom.
Despite the harmony of forms and external beauty, it was inconvenient to use a wide champagne glass, since all the bubbles instantly evaporated and the taste of the drink deteriorated significantly. Since the product was loved by many, they did not completely abandon it, they simply changed the content: instead of champagne, it began to gain thicker and denser compositions of diverse taste.
From the custom glass this dish turned into a bowl, in which to this day are served fruit, jam, ice cream and much more. Since the popularity of this product has only increased, then changes in appearance, volume and materials have become quite explainable moments. Ice-cream bowl is a metal, glass or wooden bowl, which is located on a thin leg, which is high, medium and low.
The average capacity of such containers is 200-250 ml, which is enough to serve a dish for one person.
The name of the ice-cream bowl also has a history, since in Russia the morals and fashions of France were held in high esteem, then the glasses of the same form came to new lands. Such a container was called Cremant, from which, in the future, the name Kremanka was familiar to our ear.
