Word origin
The term 'sundae' has a somewhat ambiguous origin, with multiple stories claiming its inception. Most accounts trace it back to the late 1800s in the United States, particularly to the towns of Ithaca, New York, and Two Rivers, Wisconsin. One popular tale suggests that the sundae was created as a special treat for customers who wanted to enjoy ice cream on Sundays but were not allowed to by local religious rules, thus leading to the creation of a special version of the ice cream dish. Some believe it was originally called 'Sunday' before the spelling was changed to 'sundae' to avoid association with the Sabbath. The sundae quickly gained popularity and saw various adaptations and toppings added over the years, including chocolate syrup, nuts, and fruit. By the early 20th century, the sundae had become a staple in ice cream parlors across America and was being enjoyed by people of all ages.
