      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!
