How did people keep their food cold before refrigerators - they had ice boxes and would have a guy deliver ice to them but how did they freeze the water to make ice before electricity?

I believe that the ice was cut in winter and stored in underground ice houses. Certainly the british aristocracy did this. In America this was commercialised, and the ice was delivered to ordinary homes that had ice boxes, which is what they still call refrigerators. My grandmother had a box outside of her kitchen which had a metal gauze door in it. Somehow through evaporation/ condensation it kept her dairy products and other food colder than the ambient temperature, it really worked. I believe that a woman has patented a similar device for sale in third world countries for people with no electricity.

Is ice a natural resource?

Ice is natural material present in frozen lakes and glaciers. In the past it was a resource and essentially mined during the winter and stored in ice houses to be sold as the coolant in ice boxes (a primitive refrigerator.) At the present time ice is manufactured by refrigeration systems making it a manufactured product, not a resource. Modern refrigerators do not rely on ice for cooling. the systems generate the cold without the ice.
