KQED Food | How Ice Cream Helped in World War 2 🍦 | Beyond the Menu #Shorts @KQEDFood | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Did you know that American soldiers in WWII were fueled by a steady supply of ice cream? While other countries banned ice cream during the war, the U.S. recognized it as a staple of American life. After Prohibition outlawed alcohol, Americans turned to ice cream to help fill the void.
Author Matt Siegel filled us in on this wild history while Juliet Pries of San Francisco's Ice Cream Bar showed us how to make one of the era’s most popular flavors, Rocky Road.

In KQED’s new digital food series Beyond The Menu, host Cecilia Phillips interviews chefs, authors, and other experts to dig up surprising facts on the cultural pathways of some of our favorite dishes. It’s a history show, it’s a mystery series, it’s a celebration of multicultural cuisine, sometimes it’s even a science program, all set against the backdrop of mouth-watering food cinematography.
