Gelato 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.
