Dying for an icecream？A hundred years ago，you might have done just that.Until they were illegal in 1926 for their role in spreading tuberculosis (肺结核)，ices were commonly sold in glasses，which were rarely cleaned.Scoop A wonderful Ice Gream World，the first exhibition of the British Museum of Food in King's Cross，London，has a tower of these unlikely killers from the wide collection of experts Robin and Caroline Weir，authors of Ices：The Definitive Guide.

Yet the sweet pleasures of icecream were very much worth the risk.In the 17th and 18th centuries，they were regarded as a food only belonging to the superrich，and a symbol of social position.It's said that about 1 litre of icecream cost ￡50：“You really had to love your guests，”says Robin.Little

wonder，he adds，that businessmen tried their best to keep their trade secret：“If you knew how to make icecream，it was a meal ticket for life.”

What businessmen wanted to conceal was just how they made icecream：with a handful of ingredients (原料)，some ice，salt and a bit of effort，“you can create thousands of different kinds of icecream，”Robin says.Yet，for all that，boring old vanilla (香草) remains the most popular.Nine out of ten icecreams sold were vanilla icecream，according to the Ice Cream Alliance.

Whatever kind of icecream you like，it is all too easy to overeat，an experience likely to end in the pain known as “brain freeze”．Luckily，the way to deal with it is very simpleplace your tongue on the roof of your mouth to help warm the nerve.
