    Our planet would look very different if water had a much lower freeze temperature.

    Life wouldn't have evolved on Earth so your question is like how much is 3/0.

      ice is water, which is in all food

    Like a reverse ice-nine situation? Not very. Liquid water is a better transmitter of heat than solid and not as convenient for packing so there'd be some detrimental effects on food shipping.

    from a culinary perspective, we would be unable to shock blanched items. so our lovely fresh asparagus and broccolini would be slightly less vibrant and crisp. our tomatoes would be softer when we peel them. our shrimp cocktail will be over cooked.

    certain dessert items would take longer to whisk.

    my zesty gin based beverage would be room temperature.

    i can't think of much else.

      Yeah just that whole no seafood thing, you’re a real culinary master.

        What do you mean, no seafood. There is no ice involved with that.

          No brining sea food inland without majority of it getting spoiled by bacteria dumbass, although you can always preserve it in salt and fat but that would make it a pickle

    I once brought ice to a remote tribe in the dense Peruvian jungle to see their reaction and document it. They'd seen ice before.

        She got that from an old documentary where some South American tribe were asked if they knew what snow was. Turns out, they did. They may be secluded but they're aware of a great deal of things.

    more importantly, does the inability to create ice transfer to ice cream? then we are truly left without joy.

    does freezing food in general work in a world without ice, or do ice crystals simply not form at all? this becomes beneficial when freezing animal products and fresh produce.

    we'd adapt to a world without ice in the same way we adapt currently to a world without liquid proostertane. would we have gotten as far as we have without the ability to freeze things based on their water content, or have an ecosystem anywhere approaching what we have now? probably not, we might not exist at all but in the interplay of elements I doubt there'd be a lack of life.

    What happens to the water when it gets to freezing temperature? Does it disappear or is it still just cold war? Just cool things with the cold water.

      if the water still gets cold yeah use it to chill something else, like whiskey stones

    If you were rich you'd just pay someone to climb up a mountain and bring back some ice. Keep it in a cellar. That's what the Romans did.

    Essentially what you're describing is pre freezers. What they would do is go to antartica and lock it in a big metal box and then sell them to hotels
