desu would it be possible to make something out of snow? like mixing chocolate with snow to make a improvised ice cream.
i am concerned about the hygiene standards though...

Don't eat snow. Soldiers during ww2 died from eating snow. If it killed them, it'll kill you twice.

like water?
or maybe a sno-cone?

ate snow cones made of actual snow at least once a year growing up, probably not the most sanitary but it doesn't kill you lol

Snow and rainwater is toxic. Maybe this would have been okay a few centuries ago.

Maybe if they were stuck outside and were already susceptible to hypothermia, lowering their body temperature by eating snow instead of melting it first would kill you. Not the snow itself.

We used to make snow cream from the freshest fallen, untouched snow we could find. Just a large mixing bowl of snow, a teaspoon of vanilla, pinch of salt, bit of milk, and your choice of sweetener. Honey was always my favorite, but I've seen people use sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, or plain white sugar.

...probably not the most sanitary dish out there, but it certainly won't kill you.

Maple candy. Look it up.

This, also known as sugar-on-snow. Basically hot maple syrup poured onto snow with a popsicle stick stuck therein. I grew up in a rural area of the Northeastern US and we would also make something called snow ice cream, basically take heavy cream/milk and vanilla extract and mix it with clean snow to get a kind of slush/dairy based sno-cone consistency.

Keep in mind that you should only do this with very fresh snow, especially if you live anywhere near an even medium-traffic road. Otherwise you're ingesting a lot of exhaust particles. Anyone who has ever lived in a city knows this, snowfall will look like shit after only a few days from air pollutants getting in it.

Unless you live way, way out in a rural area that is entirely of devoid of people this is a terrible idea.

None of you poor zoomers ever heard of snow cream? Christ, this world is fucked. I'm sorry guys.

I eat snowcream, just get a bowl of top snow that hasn't been disturbed by animals, make a mix of eggs, milk, sugar, flavoring, and then dump that over the snow.
Feel free to mix in fruit or shaved chocolate depending on what flavors you added to it.

>> No.18925409

>>18922228
how do you not already know about shaved ice?
also Canadians make little holes in the snow and fill them with maple syrup to make popsicles

I was going to post this, pour warm maple syrup over fresh snow collected in a bowl you put outside

it's the kind of thing people did in the past when there wasn't a lot of variety in food or things to do in general I guess
