Today (November 11, 2019) is National Sundae Day which also coincides with Veterans Day in the U.S. Check out Newsweek's article on Veterans Day deals to treat your military and veteran family members.
While to many it is a symbol of cold sugary goodness, the history of the ice cream sundae reads more like a Shakespearean tragedy. Firstly, there is much contention about where the name "sundae" came from. According to What's Cooking America, some historians believe that it was created in response to the "Blue Laws" which stopped the selling of ice cream sodas on Sundays because it was a religious day.
But the rivalry between Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and Ithaca, New York, is where the drama of the ice cream sundae comes into its own. Both cities profess that the invention of the ice cream sundae happened in their location, with letters and barbs between the mayors of the cities dating back to the 1970s, according to What's Cooking America. To some, it's also known as the "Sundae War."
One theory is that in 1881 the first ice cream sundae was invented by accident in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, according to the Two Rivers Historical Society. In an article by What's Cooking America, an ice cream parlour owner had to compromise with a customer who had ordered an ice cream soda; because of the Blue Laws, this wasn't permitted. The owner, Ed Burners, decided to put ice cream in a dish and pour chocolate syrup over it. A similar theory exists for Ithaca, New York.
But as Laura B. Weiss, food historian and author of Ice Cream: A Global History, the ice cream sundae has existed in many forms over the years and has "evolved" into what we know it as today: "For example, there was the French coupe; ice cream sauced with fruit and other toppings," she told Newsweek.
What we know as the ice cream sundae is what Weiss calls the "modern sundae" and she agrees that it was born because "ice cream sodas were considered too frivolous to consume on Sundays." However, the mystery regarding which city invented the sundae first remains: "Who came up with this idea first has vanished in a puff of whipped cream."
