National Peach Ice Cream Day

National Peach Ice Cream Day is on July 17th in the United States.

Yet another day that celebrates a particular flavour of ice cream, rather than celebrating ice cream in general. This time it's peach.

Ice cream, a frozen dessert which is usually, but does not have to be, made with dairy products, is flexible in that it can be flavoured in many different ways, simply by adding different ingredients to the base recipe. For peach ice cream, this can be done by simply adding flavouring to the mix or, alternatively, could also use instead, or as well, actual pieces of peach. Generally, the first type of ice cream tends to be cheaper than the second.

Peaches themselves are a fruit which first came from China but has since spread all across the world. China is still, by far, the world's largest producer of peaches, and a significant proportion of the remaining supply comes from various countries surrounding the Mediterranean.
