[Cz-L] Lody and Supply of Ice in Czernowitz

I would like to add some comments:
        For those who don't know - Strada Petru Rareş was Dr. Wollangasse
during the
        Austrian period. Nowadays it is called : Bukovinska.

        As far as I remember, the only supplier of blocks of ice until 1940
was the IEMC (Intreprinderele Electromecanice ale Municipiului Cernautzi)
i.e., in English: The electromechanical enterprises of the City of
Cernautzi. IEMC was also the owner and manager of the power plant
and responsible for the power supply to each apartment/house in the city.
They had a couple of insulated trucks circulating in the various
neighborhoods and selling ice on the street.

        In 1940-early 1941, during the Soviets, the ice factory was upgraded
and an ice cream factory was established there, called
"Glavmorozhenoe". I remember it very well because my uncle worked
there as a Chief Accountant ("Glavbuchgalter").

All the best to my fellow Czernowitzers,
Abraham K.

Lody,
About once a month I meet Abraham Kogan. Usually the first hour we spend
telling stories about Czernowitz.
Today I told Abraham a story; about how we made ice cream "Lody".

Our Lipowener lady who used to bring milk and eggs to my grandmother brought
her a large ceramic container with sweet double cream and from the forest
wild strawberries. As it was a very hot summer day my uncles and my aunts
decided to make ice cream.
My onkle Mechel had a very old ice cream machine. We needed ice so I got
volunteered with my cousin Sasha who was the daughter of onkle Mechel and
tante Etu to bring an ice block from the ice factory.
The ice factory was quite far, we had to go all the way to a side street of
the Siebenbürgerstrasse. I could not remember the name the street. Of
course Abraham knew the name which was Strada Petru Rareş.
It took us hours to schlep this block, we dropped it several times and it
broke in half. Finally we were home with just enough ice to make the most
delicious ice cream-lody. If anybody ever had "Wild Strawberry Ice Cream"
he will never forget the taste.

Wild Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients:
1 quart of sweet double cream
1 pint whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 lbs Sugar
10 egg yolks
2 lbs wild strawberry

Method:
In a saucepan over gentle heat, combine the cream and milk and the vanilla
extract with half of the sugar. Allow the cream to come to a gentle boil.
In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks together with the remaining sugar.
When the cream is ready, pour a third of it into the egg mixture and whisk.
Pour egg mixture into remaining hot cream and return to the heat until
mixture coats the back of a metal spoon. Do not allow the mix to boil as you
will get an egg omelet.
Mash half the strawberries with some of the sugar and the other half of the
strawberries cut in quarters.
Finally, strain the custard and chill until cold. Once cold, pour into the
canister of the ice cream maker, loosely stir in the Wild Strawberry mix and
keep on turning the ice cream handle till you have ice cream.

P.S. I had some help with this recipe from one of my neighbors.
