Folklore insists that Nero,
the Roman Emperor, invented sorbet during the first century A.D when he
had runners along the Appian way pass buckets of snow hand over hand from
the mountains to his banquet hall where it was then mixed with honey and
wine. The Chinese also have made concoctions made from snow, juice, and
fruit pulp for several thousand years.
Frozen desserts are believed
to have been brought to France in 1533 by Catherine de Medici when she
left Italy to marry the Duke of Orleans, who later became Henry II of France.
By the end of the 17th century, sorbet was served in the streets of Paris,
and spread to England and the rest of Europe.
Sorbet can be turned into
sherbet by adding milk and egg whites to it before it freezes.
Sorbet is served as a
non-fat alternative to ice cream.
