🍦 Ice cream cone
Also known as: wafer cone, cone
Edible "packaging" for ice cream.
An ice cream cone is an edible “container” for ice cream. The ice cream goes into a crisp wafer rolled into a cone, and you eat both together. No dishes to wash.
A recipe for a cone filled with cream appears in Agnes Marshall's English cookbook of 1888. She is often called the inventor of the modern cone. But wafers rolled into cones were described earlier, in books from the early 19th century. In 1902–1903, moulds for baking wafer cups were patented in England and the USA.
According to a well-known story, the cone became popular thanks to the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. It is said that an ice cream seller ran out of paper cups. A waffle seller next to him then rolled a waffle into a cone. People still argue about who was first. Today cones are made in two ways: a hot flat wafer is rolled up, or the batter is baked straight into a cone shape.
