Gelato
Everyone said, “Oh! Have gelato in Rome!” So we did.
What’s gelato? It’s the Italian word for ice cream! The recipe is made the “old-fashioned” way with eggs and cream, but I am sure there are some places that make it differently. We’d been frequenting a gelato stand in Linz, so it wasn’t an uncommon taste to us.
I like how they just stuck the fruit on top of the flavor to spare the endless questions from tourists. “Oh, what flavor is the pink one?”
Gelato is not just fruit flavor. It’s all flavors!
I enjoyed a scoop of Nutella and a scoop of stracciatella (chocolate chip)
There are literally gelato stores on every block in Rome. I guess they are pretty popular!
YUM!
