壹蘋派生活美語　香濃綿密～來自佛羅倫斯的義式冰淇淋

　　Gelato is a delicious frozen treat from Italy. While people are not sure about its exact origin, the most popular theory is that a famous architect from Florence invented it in the 16th century. He was asked to prepare a feast for the visiting King of Spain, and he presented the King with the original form of gelato. In 1770, gelato was introduced to the United States. However, due to the later birth of the industrial ice cream industry, gelato didn’t make its name until the late 20th century.

　　義式冰淇淋是一種來自義大利的冰凍美食。雖然人們不確定它的確切起源，但最受歡迎的理論是一位來自佛羅倫斯的知名建築師在十六世紀發明了它。他被要求為來訪的西班牙國王準備一場盛宴，他向國王呈上了原始樣態的義式冰淇淋。1770 年，義式冰淇淋被引進美國。然而，由於後來工業冰淇淋產業的誕生，義式冰淇淋直到二十世紀末才聲名大噪。
