    TIL that in other countries ice cream always contains some kind of milk. Don’t let this person come to Italy or they will be very disappointed in the lack of milk in almost all kinds of fruit flavored ice creams…

        In Australia, gelato just refers to Italian style ice cream, with sorbet being used to refer to the fruitier ones that usually have no dairy.

        I just thought it was a fancy way to call it so that stores could overprice it (never been to the US yet, but I have seen shops call it like that all around Europe). Today I discovered I was very wrong!

          I forgot the correct term. I meant sorbet

          Suffering from Sun poisoning and a bad first degree sunburn since I was stupid and forgot that UV rays penetrate the clouds with no interference unlike visible light.

            Sorry to hear that, take care!

            Thanks for the clarification, now I learned even more! Here we have something with a similar name (sorbetto) that is actually very different (it’s a beverage)… So confusing!
