Quality of Ice Cream
Ice cream is not graded on the market, as it is sold by the manufacturers directly to the retailer or consumer. The qualities that constitute a good ice cream are left more or less to the judgment of the individual manufacturers and his ability to judge the preference of the public. In general it is conceded that a high quality ice cream should have a rich creamy, sweet taste, be smooth of body, and close texture.
The richness of ice cream is influenced primarily by the fat content. If ice cream contains below 10 per cent of fat, it lacks richness. If too much milk fat is used it will be too rich. An individual cannot eat a very large serving of ice cream when it contains much more than 14 per cent of milk fat. Because of this fact, commercial ice cream seldom contains more than 14 per cent of fat, and if the laws within the state in which it is sold will permit, a slightly lower fat content is to be preferred. …

The world's first ice cream truck exclusively for dogs

Maybe they'll call it a cold dog.
The world's first ice cream truck exclusively for four-legged friends will open in London's Regent Park on Saturday.
The red, white, and blue truck, dubbed 'K99,' will dish (and cone) up a variety of pup-friendly flavors like "Dog Eat Hog World," a concoction of cured leg of pork and chicken. Then there's the classic "Canine Cookie Crunch," which is vanilla ice cream topped off with dog biscuits.
The truck will open for a "pet party" in the park.
"The weather has been so hot, we thought dogs deserved a cooling treat as much as anyone else," said event organizer Sally Bezant.
The K99 vehicle will roam in parks throughout the summer. Instead of the traditional Mr. Softee jingle, K99 will play the theme song from Scooby Doo, according to London's Daily Mail.
A number of pet nutritionists tested out the flavors to find the tastiest and safest flavors. And yes, the ice cream is safe for humans.
Bezant added the average Brit consumes an average of 50 servings of ice cream each year.
"All the while, man's best friend has to make do with a bowl of water to cool down. And, with 10.5 million dogs in the UK, that's a lot of pets missing out.'
