dez 14th, 2015 | By jeferson | Category: ArtigosThe term hokey pokey has been used in reference to honeycomb toffee in New Zealand since the late 19th century. 🏵 The origin of this term, in reference to honeycomb specifically, is not known with certainty, and it is not until 🏵 the mid-20th century that hokey pokey ice cream was created.[citation needed]
Coincidentally, "hokey pokey" was a slang term for ice cream 🏵 in general in the 19th and early 20th centuries in several areas — including New York City[9] and parts of 🏵 Great Britain — specifically for the ice cream sold by street vendors or "hokey pokey men". The vendors, said to 🏵 be mostly of Italian descent, supposedly used a sales pitch or song involving the phrase "hokey pokey", for which several 🏵 origins have been suggested. One such song in use in 1930s Liverpool was "Hokey pokey penny a lump, that's the 🏵 stuff to make ye jump".[10]
The term hokey pokey likely has multiple origins. One of these is the expression "hocus-pocus", which 🏵 is possibly the source of the name hokey pokey in New Zealand. As a general name for ice cream outside 🏵 New Zealand, it may be a corruption of one of several Italian phrases. According to "The Encyclopedia of Food" (published 🏵 1923, New York) hokey pokey (in the U.S.) is "a term applied to mixed colors and flavors of ice cream 🏵 in cake form". The Encyclopedia says the term originated from the Italian phrase oh che poco - "oh how little". 🏵 Alternative possible derivations include other similar-sounding Italian phrases: for example ecco un poco - "here is a (little) piece".[citation needed]
