Today is Canada Day, the Canadian federal holiday that celebrates the uniting of the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. To honor our neighbors to the north, eat ice cream today. We’ll be heading to Culver’s Frozen Custard for Concrete Chocolate Shakes.
In 1984, the International Dairy Foods Association sponsored the effort to have July designated as National Ice Cream Month in the United States. The proclamation signed by Ronald Reagan states that U.S. citizens should have “appropriate ceremonies and activities” to celebrate. Who doesn’t like ice cream? And in Wisconsin, we regard it as our patriotic duty to eat mountains of it all year long! So, whether your choice is ice cream, sherbet, frozen yogurt, Italian ice, or the richest cousin—frozen custard, celebrate it this month. I’m sure that if we were to read all the fine print of the proclamation, we would find that all calories have been waived for the month . . .
