• Ice-cream: import and export

Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made from milk or cream that has been flavoured with a sweetner, either sugar or an alternative and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit, such as strawberries or peaches. Food colouring is sometimes added in addition to stabilizers. Italian ice cream is “gelato”.

Today, jobs specialize in the selling of ice cream. The title of a person who works in this speciality is often called an 'ice cream man', however women also specialize in the selling of ice cream. People in this line of work often sell ice cream on beaches. On beaches, ice cream is sold by a person who carries a box full of ice cream and is called over by people who want to purchase ice cream, or by a person who drives up to the top of the beach and rings a bell. In the second method, people go up to the top of the beach and purchase ice cream straight from the ice cream seller, who is often in an ice cream van. Moreover, in Turkey and Australia, ice cream is sometimes sold to beach-goers from small powerboats equipped with chest freezers.
