The king was so entranced with this culinary
terpece that he ordered the chef to keep the recipe
a secret and pensioned him with $500 year so the
delicacy would be kept for the exclusive use of the
royal table.
But whether the chef thought it was too good
thing keep under cover or someone else offered him
a bigger bribe the word got around
The frozen dessert started showing up on festive
occasions in the New World early as l7OO Guests
of Gov Bladen of Maryland reported, I'VE had

the Strawberries and Milk, eat Most Deliciously."
Another ice cream devotee of that era was Mrs
Alexander Hamilton, who served the delicacy at
dinner for George Washington in 1873.

the first person to serve it in the White House. AS
