When was the first ice cream cone made?

Answer 1

There is some debate about who really invented the first ice cream cone.

One of the stories credits the invention to Charles E Menches, an ice cream seller in St. Louis, Missouri. At the time, ice cream was always served in dishes. The story goes that, whilst selling ice cream at the St Louis World's Fair (the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition), Menches ran out of dishes. Nearby, Ernest Hamwi was selling a Middle eastern treat called Zalabia, a crispy, wafer that was sold with syrup. Menches thought up the idea of rolling up the wafers, and filling the cone with two scoops of ice cream. For this reason, Menches is credited with introducing the concept of the ice cream cone.
