      different countries make ice cream differently, so there's subtle difference in creation and so the italian translation in english would mean italian ice cream instead of just ice cream but ice cream in italian would just be gelato.

    For the Italians like me reading, what in Canada they call gelato is closer to our idea of gelato artigianale, icecream is everything else. There is a semantic shift that happened in north America, they have apparently two strands of recipes and to one of these they named of "gelato". The meanings in fact overlap, as gelato is a kind of icecream, but icecream is no a kind of gelato...

    GELATO 100%. I had gelato on a trip to Italy in 1993. After the first cup, I had in Rome, I made sure to have a cup everyday I was in Italy. I live in New Jersey home of the largest Italian Americans in the US. But I can't find authentic delicious gelato anywhere. Even trying to make it at home but it doesn't match the quality & consistency of Italian gelato. So sad, just so very sad. 💖😋💖😋💖🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

    Fad. There is no standard requirement on how much milk/yolk or churn-speed you need to use for ice cream. Hence ice cream itself comes in huge variety of hardness, smoothness, richness, etc. Gelato is just a "it's Italian, so premiere," but most people will fail blind test between a creamier brand of ice cream with a typical gelato product because they can be almost identical.

    • @RickJaeger
