Today it costs nothing to find ice cream, from the bowling of the block, in bakeries and ice cream. In some neighborhoods and towns are even windows or doors of houses, handmade signs advertising the sale of "buckets."
some in towns and suburbs of places most people pass the ice cream man blowing a horn or bell, in cities you can see street vendors with Styrofoam boxes standing on street corners to pass motorists on the beaches stroll among the vendors offering holidaymakers the refreshing ice cream to pass the "heat." It was not always so.

Having access to ice cream all year due to global technical advances and the advent of refrigerators in our country. But long before that in the colonial Chile were already being frozen, although at that time or thought to invent the electric refrigerators. The first to arrive in Chile, operated without plug or connection, they were put in a huge block of ice to be all, were the refrigerators.
I do not know the exact date, but before dispensing only ice cream in summer, and since that time is the custom that ice cream vendors to sound a horn or bell to warn that they pass. I remember as a kid, I was still the idea that it was unwise to have ice cream at one time it was not summer, is it because they believed that you could catch a cold? But on the other side, you heard that those who operated in the winter or summer tonsils, the doctor suggested much ice cream. Sorry, I never operated the tonsils.
Ice cream in the world.
There is no uniformity in the criteria for historians to place the onset of ice cream. Some sources say that centuries BC, the Chinese already used snow mixed with honey and fruit. Attributed to Marco Polo in Italy have reported the return of one of his trips.
This may be the reason why some authors mention the Romans as the inventor of the "straws" were used in the manufacture of the same ingredients, ie fruits, honey and snow. In addition there are references to jars with fruit mixed with honey, buried in snow at the time of Alexander the Great.
Either way, the Arabs contributed to the refining of these preparations, using fruit juices. Naming these mixtures with honey and snow as sharbets "(drinks), name used until today," straws "rather fashionable now served even between courses at dinner parties several times.

Make ice cream in ancient times was not easy. First he had to get snow, then have some way to preserve it; without melted for use by mixing with other ingredients to make "ice cream" or "straws."
ice creams were not available to anyone, they were only for consumption by the privileged few. Kings and their courts in France, Spain and England and enjoyed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
As in many areas of gastronomy, the French made their contribution and said it was a French chef in the English court, which incorporated the old milk preparations, making them "more palatable." And although he asked not in the dissemination of this innovation. Like almost everything secret finally leaked (and there was no internet or Wikileaks).
At the time of Louis XIV, the French court by the year 1600 was known ice cream with milk. Sparking a controversy between doctors and experts of the time, whether it was good or bad for digestion. At the same time in Italy was invented a machine that allowed mixing ingredients ice cream, making a kind of ice cream, which is known today as ice cream. A milestone that revolutionized the history of ice cream, was the appearance of the refrigerator automatically.

Before that blocks of ice were used. My grandmother and aunts commented how they had changed their life, the emergence of a true furniture-the first "frigidaire" - (refrigerators) that preserved foods longer with huge ice bars carrying home every few days; before that lasted food short in pantries.

Notes In Pereira Salas, they mention it in the colonial era when it was considered food-tribute and show of affection. This manifested itself since the birth of someone to death. Baptisms and funerals were "whole protocol", which were established labels and ceremony. Even had "rules" about who was entitled to a doctorate at the University of San Felipe, and there were indications of the type detailed of foods listed, specifying what to whom, how much and to be sent.
jars or pots of ice cream, were among the "gifts" that style at that time. What were the flavors of the time? Historical records speak of colonial ice cream, cinnamon, snack aurora and prince.
be wondering how on earth did ice cream, if there was no electricity and fewer refrigerators or slot machines to make ice cream. The snow did. Snow
for ice cream.
Years ago, I was lucky snowing near holidays and because of that I saw with my own eyes "Cut ice" snow. I had heard that for 18 of the past, in the village nortino "Cogotí 18" was a classic Don Guillo did bring snow and ice prepare Canela. Gradually, the tradition was lost, for that matter had reached the "electricity" and many families had refrigerators.
If you wanted ice cream with cinnamon or other flavoring, it was anything to go to the nearest town, in this case Combarbalá, where even today a few blocks from the plaza continues to operate the ice cream Diaz, whose ice cream and cinnamon in water melon, are a delight.

Turning to how to make snow ice cream, which made Mr. Guillo or one of his sons was to repeat the same thing was done long before in Chile and elsewhere long before the world. First bring snow to the mountains, which in this case was not so far away. This is used to keep buried, usually covered with wheat straw and salt.
I had to call my friend Robert C, companion of many adventures adolescents to compare my memories of that one time I witnessed the bill of icy snow here are the data. To make ice cream, had to have two containers of wood or tin (bucket).
larger in the snow and put coarse salt, and that further down the snow-temperature. In a smaller jar with lid half buried in the snow, was a cinnamon sugar water. With a stick while it was spinning much smaller jar, until it began to freeze its contents and was stirring / beating until that "cut" the ice cream.
The result 100% natural ice cream, tasty flavor of cinnamon and a good pink color. As we both think that the cinnamon ice cream today, must have some dye as they are browner.
colonial flavor.
cinnamon ice creams, as is to those who saw him do was the classic colonial era also prepared snack, which were made of custard with heavy cream, egg yolks and sugar.
While the aurora was a drink of water, almond milk and cinnamon, is not specified but must have been sweetened. This concoction is then "cut" to make snow ice cream Aurora. There was nothing at the time, were later incorporated other flavors, and as technology progressed and came to our country. With refrigerators opportunities to store ice cream flavors were higher and multiply also outside influences also were added flavors.
