Life before the freezer |
 |
An ice cold Chablis or a tub of finest Cornish ice cream is all too easy to produce these days - even the kids can handle the freezer.
But, just imagine if you had to cut the ice from the nearby pond in mid winter, haul the lumps to the icehouse and take ice carvings to the kitchen - would you be quite so keen to have an iced drink?
From the 17th Century, icehouses in Britain became the first walk-in freezers and changed the face of menus and the drinks cabinet.
