 Non tutti sanno, che Noi italiani, oltre alla pizza, spaghetti, la radio, la plastica, le banche, il pianoforte, il microchip, insieme agli arabi, in Sicilia, intorno al IX° secolo, abbiamo inventato il gelato.
Il primo gelato della storia, fu fatto da un cuoco italiano, durante un matrimonio: il gelato fu preparato per la prima volta da un certo Ruggeri di Firenze, macellaio e appassionato di cucina, che grazie a un preparato che comprendeva panna, zabaione e frutta divenne ben presto famoso, tanto che fece fortuna a Parigi. Egli preparò il gelato in occasione delle nozze di Caterina de' Medici ed Enrico d'Orleans.
