Indian Ice Cream

Indian ice-cream or sxusem (pronounced "s-khushem", with "kh" sound resembling the final sound in the Scottish word 'loch') is a dessert made by native people throughout the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Traditionally this foam was eaten at larger gatherings with wooden spoons and children were known to play with the foam, sometimes throwing it at each other. Indian ice-cream contains saponins, and it is refreshing but a little bitter.
