This mixture is super-cooled by stirring while reducing its temperature to prevent large ice crystals from forming. Traditionally, the temperature has been reduced by placing the ice cream mixture into a container that is immersed in a mixture of crushed ice and salt. The salt allows liquid water to be below the freezing point of pure water, allowing the immersed container with cream to make better contact with the melted water/ice mixture. Although the term "ice cream" is sometimes used to mean frozen desserts and snacks in general, it is usually reserved for frozen desserts and snacks made with a high percentage of milk fat. Many countries, including the United States, regulate the use of some of these terms based on quantities of ingredients.[wikipedia] 2 How to order icecream? First of all, scoop may be the most commonly used measurement for icecream. A scoop is a "spoon-shaped instrument" for digging icecream [MW]. One scoop is one icecream ball There are also different containers for icecream. They have cups, bowls, and edible cones. These containers also come in different sizes: small, medium, large. There seems to be indefinite numbers of icecream flavors. Vanilla is the most common and most popular flavor which can be mixed with virtually any other flavors. Besides vanilla, we have chocolate, fruits (strawberry, peach, etc), nuts (peanut, pecan, etc.), liquor, etc. For example, you could place your icecream order this way: "Can I have a media cup, with one scoop of butter pecan, and one scoop of vanila please?".
