A history that often highlights class inequities, corporate and government malfeasance and political struggles ( the US embargo of Cuba caused them to make a great cone) but leaves room for discussion of the origins of ice cream sodas,sundaes and much more.
There are recipes throughout, though you may have to rush out and get some yak milk to fully participate.
