1, morphological difference

Ice cream refers to hard ice cream (hard in appearance), and ice cream refers to soft ice cream (semi-solid).

Literally, you can also draw the difference. The word "exciting" of ice cream originally meant to be strong and exciting, and described tenacity. The combination of "water" and "old" means "water spouts from a narrow hole and spreads to a large space"; The word "ling" means "ice", ice, ling cone, dripping into ling. Generally speaking, the words "exciting" and "ling" are both described as hard as ice. The word "qi" in ice cream, "gas and water flow from the northern mountain of Hanoi into the rivers in the east", can be used to describe the flow of water, while the word "shower" means to let water or other liquids fall from it, but both the word "qi" and the word "shower" can describe the flow of water, and it is like soft. So literally, ice cream and ice cream can represent hard ice cream and soft ice cream respectively.

2. Differences in origin

The earliest name of ice cream is actually "ice cream", which originated in China. At that time, in order to cool off the heat, the emperor asked slaves to bring ice in winter, store it in the cellar and take it out in summer. Later, business people gradually appeared. They added sugar to the ice to attract customers. In the Song Dynasty, there were many kinds of cold food in the market, and merchants also added fruit or juice to them. Merchants in the Yuan Dynasty even added fruit pulp and milk to the ice, which is very similar to modern ice cream.

The method of making ice cream was not brought back to Italy by traveler Kyle Poirot until the third century, when ice cream was still an expensive luxury. 1560, the French queen's personal chef invented semi-solid ice cream with milk, frozen fruit, fresh egg yolk and spices as the main raw materials and carved patterns, which made the ice cream more colorful and delicious and gradually developed into the ice cream we eat now. Therefore, the names of ice cream and ice cream have gradually evolved with history.

3, the difference of output

Ice cream belongs to the nature of hard ice cream It is to put the mixed ice cream slurry into a container, then put it into a refrigerator and form ice cream after refrigeration. Ice cream is mainly processed in the factory and frozen in the store, so it can be seen from the appearance that it is hard, beautifully packaged and convenient to eat. This product is generally produced by a large cold drink factory.

Ice cream belongs to the production of soft ice cream, which is a semi-fluid solid frozen dessert produced by soft ice cream machine. Because it has not been hardened, the taste of soft ice cream is particularly delicate, round and smooth, and high-quality soft ice cream should be instant in the mouth. Ice cream machine is an automatic mechanical and electrical equipment specially designed for making soft ice cream.

Soft ice cream is easy to deform, so it is usually supported by a cone or cup after being made. Now it is sold, suitable for restaurants, cold drinks shops, ice cream shops and other major catering places. Common products are sundaes, milkshakes and other types. To put it bluntly, the grade of ice cream is actually higher than that of ice cream, which is a western-style food. Ice cream (ice cream) is hard. Although the taste is similar to that of ice cream, the quality of raw materials is much lower than that of ice cream, and it is generally made into bar-shaped or boxed ice cream.
