Tuesday-Today in Food History

OK I thought I would start a new weekly item called "Tuesday Today in Food History"- So here we go:

Tuesday, July8, 2008:

• National Milk Chocolate with Almonds Day (Yummy my favorite)
• 1831 John Styth Pemberton was born- Pemberton was the pharmacist who invented Coca-Cola in 1885.
• 1881 The Ice Cream Sundae was invented- Edward Berner of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, supposedly invented the Ice Cream Sundae, when he served a customer ice cream topped chocolate syrup (used to flavor ice cream sodas). It was a Sunday, and flavored soda water was not served on Sundays to respectable people.
• 1949 Wolfgang Puck was born.
