Is shaved ice the origin of ice cream?[edit]
The understand section seems to suggest that the ancient practice of eating shaved ice (usually with flavorings) was the origin of ice cream today. Shaved ice is still a delicacy in east Asia (and elsewhere), however is it relevant to connect these two foods in this way? I would say ice cream has origins solely in dairy.
