How the drink was discovered and where to put the emphasis

Its appearance happened by chance, as do many famous discoveries. International exhibition in Thessaloniki, 1957. A new Nestle product is being introduced - a children's chocolate drink whipped with milk. One of the employees really wanted to drink coffee. But since there was no hot water anywhere, he had to pour a packet of instant coffee into a cup of cold water and stir it for a long, long time. This is how Greece first learned about frappe coffee.

In a cafe or restaurant, when ordering frappe coffee, you can hear the emphasis on either the first or the second syllable. But, as a rule, the emphasis in foreign words depends on their country of origin. For example, in words of Italian origin the stress is on the first syllable, in French - on the last. And the word “frappe” came to us from the French language, which means that it is correct to put the emphasis on “E” - frappe.

How did frappe come about?

From the middle of the 19th century . Some cold coffee drinks in coffee shops were called "Café Frappé" at home. Some were coffee + ice cubes, while others had fine melted ice. In French, frappé means “broken.” This cocktail has been mentioned since the 19th century. In addition to coffee, they threw ice cubes + delicious ice cream into it. The mixture was called "frappe a la glace." Frappé is a chilled drink.

How was the cocktail opened and where is the emphasis in the word?

We received the frappe we are familiar with on 10/07/1957 . The dish was accidentally invented in Thessaloniki during the International Fair. At the fair, Nestle showed chocolate powder that quickly dissolved in milk at room temperature. There was a break. Dimitris Vakondios, working at the exhibition, was looking for where he could pour boiling water for coffee, but could not find it. He took a shaker, poured cold water into it, poured in Nescafe, added sugar and shook it. It turned out to be an excellent cold mix, with lush foam.

It's too hot in Greece, they often take something cold there. That's why he was noticed. Bartenders and visitors to the establishments approved of the new dish, added crushed ice, and named it in the French manner.

Nestle administrators saw that the cocktail was a success and advertised it. He became fashionable. Now popular in Greece with a fluffy head of foam and ice. In 1979 _ The Greeks recognized it as national. In the word, the emphasis should be on the last syllable, the letter e (“Frappe”).
