Check out The History of the World in 10 Dinners by Victoria Flexner & Jey Reifel
to figure out how to make your dinner table a time machine.  Appreciate how we can travel through time and space through the grocery store & our refrigerators.  And give thanks for the wire whisk while you're at it.

ICE!  How did we ever get by without it?  Well, turns out some people never really had to do without if they had enough money.  But for the little people - especially in the English speaking world, it took until the 19th century for icy treats to  move out into the masses.  Not a lot - but it was a start.

And cool spaces for The People (rather than The Leaders) would only take off from there.  Becasue at the same time the Ice King was making deliveries world wide - the power of cold was coming under human control.  
Come check out the earliest days of refrigerated America.
