I’m not gonna argue with that. it is a classic american dessert. (especially together. A 4th of July staple if ever there was one.)

one of the earlier recordings of an ice cream recipe (and the salty-ice method of making it,) comes from a medical text written by a Syrian historian in the 1300’s.
Apples, too, weren’t native to America and brought over by colonists (though, the Ottoman empire had apple pies, too. And probably ice cream. One wonders if they were enlightened enough to put them together…)
I’d happily take him out for ice cream. And give him my 43 cents (inflation is a bitch,)
“Do you want to know what I think about Israel.”
“Of course!”
“Okay. Tell your goons not to shoot me; so I can express it properly.”

Almost nothing “American”‘is from America, just a part of the national identity.
That is true. Everywhere he goes he makes a point of trying local ice cream.
