S&R: Okay, okay...I concede...The Ice Cream cone was NOT invented by Americans or an American but thanks for that link...I followed it backwards to the home site on cooking and then through various links from that...I found a lady who is selling Culinary quality Lavendar! Yay! Finally, someplace to buy high quality lavendar for cooking. I can't wait to try and make some homemade Lavendar Ice-cream. Also candied Lavendar makes a nice garnish.

I was at least right abou the Pizelles which are apparently spelled "Pizzelle", those yummy italian lace cookies made on a waffle-like iron. Apparently the Ice-Cream Cones made that the 1905 fair which was in St. Louis (sorry, I said chicago) were made from some kind of similar type waffle cookie coming out of Syrian and Lebonese tradtion. THOSE are the kinds of cookies Mashti Malone's uses in it's Creamy Rosewater Ice-Cream, Sandwiches. If you've never had one, you don't know what you're missing. If you live in LA, you gotta try one at least once. Mashti Malones, a Middle-Eastern Ice-cream supplier, is in Hollywood on North La Brea just above Hollywood Blvd. and near Mann's Chinese Theatre. Tourists visting the are can easily stroll down the Boulevard and over to Mashti Malones Ice Cream parlour for a treat they won't soon forget.
