As a...I am Italian too and I agree with Alessandra. As a kid I was allowed strawberry and lemon then it was more creamier flavors. My son has chocolate, of course. Lots of popular favors but my sense is that when you buy ice cream to take to somebody's house and you don't know their taste you get crema(which is like custard), fiordilatte/panna(cream), chocolate and stracciatella(chocolate chip); on the lighter side you get yoghurt and strawberry. My personal favourite is hazelnut. When I go back to Modena to visit I notice the great increase in candy bar flavors : last time I even found bufalina, which is cream but made with buffalo milk!!!Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500985502073826322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-16938206956785754272012-04-23T19:30:40.937-07:002012-04-23T19:30:40.937-07:00we didn't either julie! the crab was huge. i p...we didn't either julie! the crab was huge. i probably should have put my toes near him for perspective, it was enormous. i wasn't sure if it were alive, and didn't really want to bother him.Lori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-4464695831225895372012-04-23T19:26:50.448-07:002012-04-23T19:26:50.448-07:00that is good to know alessandra! i now have a good...that is good to know alessandra! i now have a good reason to return to the gelato shop (wink wink) i need to let the server know (that told me that)!
