The History of Ice Cream

from You're Dead to Me · host BBC Radio 4

Greg Jenner and his guests Dr Annie Gray and Richard Osman get the inside scoop on the history of this delicious dessert while packing in as many of their 'flavourite' ice cream puns as possible (final count: 15!). They savour the dubiously 'legendairy' origins of frozen cream dishes, explore some weird early flavours (whale vomit!), and discover how ice cream went from glamorous luxury to dangerous health risk. Plus Dr Annie teaches us how to make our own ice cream in the Nuance Window!"Research: Chris Wakefield Script: Emma Nagouse, Chris Wakefield and Greg Jenner Project Management: Siefe Miyo Edit Producer: Cornelius Mendez
