Neapolitan ice cream is a type of ice cream composed of three separate flavors (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry) arranged side by side in the same container. The first recorded recipe was created by head chef of the royal Prussian household Louis Ferdinand Jungius in 1839 pic.twitter.com/GW9yd2aU6e

2023-07-17 08:12:28Spumone was introduced to the United States in the 1870s as Neapolitan-style ice cream. Early recipes used a variety of flavors; however, the number of three molded together was a common denominator, to resemble the Italian flag. pic.twitter.com/9To3VY7Yzv
2023-07-17 08:13:08More than likely, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry became the standard for the reason that they were the most popular flavors in the United States at the time of introduction. It is the first type of ice cream to combine three flavors. pic.twitter.com/TiK5salXpO

2023-07-17 08:16:14@wikivictorian Fun fact: In Denmark, Neapolitan ice cream is called "Regnbueis" (Rainbow ice-cream) and is jokingly also referred to as "the meaning of life" by some.
2023-07-17 10:04:14@wikivictorian Oh I never knew that 😅 here in Sweden it quite different, the three biggest flavours here are strawberry/ vanilla/ pear and are made by (GB) *short for Glace-Bolaget* ..Also pear is my favourite of those👌🏻😏
