FOOD BY ACCIDENTS: [Ice Cream Cone] In 1904, Arnold Fornachou, a teenage vendor at World’s Fair in Saint Louis, USA, run out of paper dishes to serve his ice cream, and customers were lining up. He turned to his fellow vendors for help. Ernest Hamwi came to his aid by rolling up his waffle-like pastries and gave them to Fornachou to fill with ice cream. Later, Hamwi received a patent for a cone-making machine and started his own company. There were many vendors who ran ice cream booth at the same fair that claimed similar story. However, many historians believe that the first edible cones were found in Europe before the 19th century. [Oyster sauce Lee Kum Sheung], founder of Lee Kum Kee, stumbled upon his trademark oyster sauce one day in 1888 in Guangdong Province, China. He over-cooked a pot of oyster soup, thus condensing the flavors of oysters into a rich and savoury condiment. The rest is delicious umami history. The oyster sauce is an indispensable agent in almost all Chinese kitchens today. sg.entertainment.yahoo/news/food-accidents-141011910.html
