蒙古冷知识：冰激凌的发明者？

我们现在有冰激凌这种宝贝，可能多亏了蒙古人。

据说冰激凌是蒙古人在游牧的时候无意中制造出来的，骑马的过程让容器里的奶剧烈震荡，而途中沙漠夜晚的低温则让震荡过的奶变成了冰激凌。

There is a theory that Mongolian horseman may have invented ice cream, when they took cream in containers made from animal intestines as provisions on long journeys across the Gobi desert in winter. As they galloped, the cream was vigorously shaken, while the sub-zero temperature caused it to freeze. The expansion of the Mongol Empire spread ice cream through China, from where Marco Polo reputedly brought the idea to Italy when he returned from his travels in 1295.

有种说法称，冰淇淋可能是蒙古骑手发明的。冬天他们在穿越戈壁沙漠的长途跋涉中，把动物内脏制成的奶油装在容器里当作食物。在他们疾驰的时候，奶油剧烈地摇晃着，而零度以下的温度使它冻住了。蒙古帝国的扩张使冰淇淋传遍了中国。据说，1295年马可波罗从旅途中返回的时候，把制作冰淇淋的想法引入了意大利。
