ice cream cone machine image
M.
i was thinking about this today when i had one of those wonderful vanilla cones (with are more like cylinders) from Mcdonalds.
where and when did they begin putting ice cream in cones and who thought of it?
Answer
It sounds like you're talking about the 'sugar' cone. They're typically cylinder, but also come in cone shape, and sold at McDonald's (as I've seen them there...). Waffle cones are more "cone" like.
Per this article, http://inventors.about.com/od/foodrelatedinventions/a/ice_cream_cone.htm , here's what's known about the history of the ice cream cone:
The walk-away edible ice cream cone made its American debut at the 1904 Saint Louis World's Fair. Ice cream in a cone was served up by several vendors at the Fair. Nobody know for certain who made the first ice cream cone. Paper and metal cones had been used in Europe for some time to hold ice cream and it was known that edible cones were being served in England prior to the 1904 World's Fair.
Lebanese immigrant, Abe Doumar built one of the first machines in the United States for making ice cream cones. Doumar created waffle type cones by adapting a waffle iron into a cone oven. However, Doumar did not make his first cone oven until after the World's Fair.
Hope this helps!
