    Gelato. Better flavours. And it's pretty much the same as ice cream. Proper gelato is still cream-based, and more delicious. Sounds like people might be mixing up gelato with Italian ice or maybe sherbert??

    Ice cream translates to gelato in Italian, so it's the same thing: ice cream IS gelato, and there is no such thing as Italian ice. Americans made that up!

    :fp:

    So gelato made in Italy essentially has consistency & texture like ice cream made in US?

    That's good because the "gelato" I've had in the US is shite. Not like ice cream to me at all. Hence the title of this thread.
    Oh... okay. Strange. In Canada Gelato is like it's supposed to be - creamy and amazing Italian ice cream with awesome flavour combinations.

    Plain bottled water or Sparkling fizzy mineral water?

    Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?

    Gelato is really yummy, so is Frozen custard, and the frozen Greek yogurt is dangerously tasty.

    No Fizzy. :D

    Mayo is dead. ( I cook better without it, and it's gross)
    :lol: Italian dressing is a secret.... ssshhh

    I NEED the A/C! I am/was born and raised in a very hot climate. I still live here.

    I would be freaking nuts if I didn't have A/C. When I didn't have it , I'd spend all day in a place that had it.




    So MUSTARD or KETCHUP ? or be crazy and demand Shirasha ?

    ;)

    for a store bought frozen treat...mmmmm (and they have pistachio!)

    The "you get what you pay for" credo holds up when it comes to gelato.

    Yum. :) Now I want some. There is an amazing place near me - I feel like a scoop of Ferrero Rochet with a scoop of pistachio. Mmmmm. Too bad I'm not going there. :(

    We have it at 3.99 with a $1 off coupon attached to the freezer at work

    so, 2.99.

    It's usually 6 bucks

    Even $6 seems like a good deal to a Canadian. :x People actually drive across the border just for cheap dairy products. :fp:
