Sure, but also Italians make ice cream somewhat differently than Americans (at least, different proportions of the ingredients are more widespread).
"Gelato" can be both the Italian word for "ice cream" and be something different from what is typically referred to as "ice cream" in the US, no?
- keiferski 2y agoGelato is not the same thing as what Americans typically call ice cream. American ice cream is less "smooth" and heavier.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoThis is true only in the sense that pain is "not the same thing" as what Americans typically call "bread". Or in other words, complete nonsense. No American would hesitate to call Italian ice cream "ice cream", nor would any Italian hesitate to call American ice cream "gelato". Each term includes the other one.
- keiferski 2y agoThey are different things and anyone that has eaten both would agree. They aren’t just different words for the same thing. The difference is more akin to Neapolitan pizza and New York pizza: both fall under the category of “pizza” but they are different things.
