PolarVortex Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Friends... trust me on this. Gelato is the way to go. One taste and you'll drop-kick any crummy dessert that starts with an S made by flash-hardening in a blast freezer. Palerider 1 Quote

Guest Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 From my understanding, sorbet (pronounced sor-bay) is very slightly different from sherbet (apparently pronounced sher-bit) in that it does not contain the dairy that sherbet does. Wait, what? That would make it... ice cream. Quote
Connie Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Wait, what? That would make it... ice cream. No. Ice cream is based on dairy, containing nearly 50% of it. Sherbet is based on fruit puree and only contains up to 2% dairy. Sorbet has zero dairy. Crypto 1 Quote
Palerider Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 And the debate goes on.......Lol!!!! Quote
theSQUIDSTER Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 For some reason this whole discussion about Britain and iced deserts has me wondering about Sir Robin of Loxley. When exactly was it that he supposedly hid out in the Sherbet Forrest with his band of merry men?......<rimshot>...<sound of crickets>... Quote

Sorbet has zero dairy. I tell you... these doggoned Americans just love to make their own definitions of stuff... Nowhere in the world have I ever heard of a frozen concoction that "has milk but not THAT much milk" making it not ice cream... Quote

Yes, legalese defining what you can call product on the store shelves is an uniquely American invention. Quote
classylady Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 Found this little tidbit of information on Popsugar: Are sorbet, sherbet, and sherbert all the same? Despite the fact that the legal definitions of sorbet and sherbet could be used interchangeably, there is a distinction among American frozen dessert manufacturers. Sherbet — which is alternatively spelled sherbert — is a frozen fruit and dairy product that contains anywhere from 1 percent to 3 percent milkfat from milk or cream. Anything above 3 percent is generally labeled ice cream; anything below 1 percent is referred to as water ice.On the other hand, sorbet generally implies a fruit-based frozen dessert with little to no dairy — although the use of the term sorbet is unregulated. To add to the confusion, in other parts of the world, sherbet may refer to a fizzy powder stirred into beverages, or a beverage made of diluted fruit juice. Quote

Crypto Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 I never knew about the american sherbet, ice cream, legalisms. (or the hush hush sorbet. Buyer Beware!)It does strike me as an awfully american thing to do. Steal the Words! Change the words! Regulate the Products! Quote
