Plombir
Plombir is a type of ice cream made with vanilla, cream, eggs and sugar, originally created in the Soviet Union in 1937. Soviet — and now Russian — state standards require natural ingredients and specific levels of fat and sugar content. History The name "plombir" descends from the French dessert Plombières, a vanilla ice cream mixed with candied fruit soaked in kirsch. In 1936, Joseph Stalin sent Anastas Mikoyan from the People's Commissar of the Food Industry on a business trip to the United States to study and adapt American food production. In addition to purchasing food equipment, Mikoyan brought many food recipes from the United States, one of which was ice cream. On November 4, 1937, the first plombir was produced in Moscow using American equipment and given a Frenchified name. During the 1930s, the state standardized production, and it remained this way until the collapse of the USSR. In the 1990s, Russia started importing foreign brands of ice cream, and the sta ...

Plombières (dessert)
Plombières is a type of French ice cream made with almond extract, kirsch, and candied fruit. History The origin of plombières ice cream is disputed.« La glace Plombières : références littéraires » ''www.glace-plombieres.fr'' (consulté le 6 février 2019). It is unclear whether its name refers to the commune of Plombières-les-Bains. A folk etymology suggests that the dish was first served to Napoleon III at the signing of the Treaty of Plombières in 1858; but Marie-Antoine Carême provided a recipe for "plombière cream" in his 1815 book, ''Pâtissier royal parisien''. Similar recipes can be found in other French cookbooks from the 19th century. According to Pierre Lacam in 1893, "plombière cream" takes its name from a utensil used to make ...

Cream
Cream is a dairy product composed of the higher-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. In un-homogenized milk, the fat, which is less dense, eventually rises to the top. In the industrial production of cream, this process is accelerated by using centrifuges called " separators". In many countries, it is sold in several grades depending on the total butterfat content. It can be dried to a powder for shipment to distant markets, and contains high levels of saturated fat. Cream skimmed from milk may be called "sweet cream" to distinguish it from cream skimmed from whey, a by-product of cheese-making. Whey cream has a lower fat content and tastes more salty, tangy, and "cheesy". In many countries partially fermented cream is also sold as: sour cream, crème fraîche, and so on. Both forms have many culinary uses in both sweet and savoury dishes. Cream produced by cattle (particularly Jersey cattle) grazing on natural pasture often contains some fat ...

Soviet Cuisine
Soviet cuisine, the common cuisine of the Soviet Union, was formed by the integration of the various national cuisines of the Soviet Union, in the course of the formation of the Soviet people. It is characterized by a limited number of ingredients and simplified cooking. This type of cuisine was prevalent in canteens everywhere in the Soviet Union. It became an integral part of household cuisine and was used in parallel with national dishes, particularly in large cities. Generally, Soviet cuisine was shaped by Soviet eating habits and a very limited availability of ingredients in most parts of the USSR. Most dishes were simplifications of French, Russian, Austro- Hungarian cuisines, and cuisines from other Eastern Bloc nations. Caucasian cuisines, particularly Georgian cuisine, contributed as well. To a significant extent it was reflected in and formed by '' The Book of Tasty and Healthy Food'', first printed in 1939, following the directions of Anastas Mikoyan. See also * ...

Frozen Custard
Frozen custard is a frozen dessert that is a type of ice cream that is made with egg yolks in addition to cream and sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and an additional flavoring such as cocoa, vanilla, or fruit such as strawberries or peaches. It is usually kept at a warmer temperature compared to ice cream, and typically has a denser and thicker consistency. History Egg yolks have been integrated into ice creams since at least the 1690s, though there are several notable invention stories that are associated with modern commercializations of this practice. One early commercialization of frozen custard was in Coney Island, New York, in 1919, when ice cream vendors Archie and Elton Kohr found that adding egg yolks to ice cream created a smoother texture and helped the ice cream stay cold longer. In their first weekend on the boardwalk, they sold 18,460 cones. Throughout the 1920s, the popularity of frozen custard spread from Coney Island to traveling carnivals. Th ...
