Shop Name: Gelato di Babbo
Location: Eastern Market on King Street
Boo's Rating: 4 Screams
This will be brief because all I have to say is: "Get your butt down to the Eastern Market on King Street and try this gelato!!!" It's all homemade with local ingredients and it's insanely delicious. Apparently it's also being sold by the pint in at least four local supermarkets. I sampled three flavors- coconut, dark chocolate and mulberry merlot and all three were delicious, but the mulberry merlot was FIERCE. I could eat that flavor all day. Gelato di Babbo, you're high in my ratings with 4 very loud screams.

I Scream You Scream is about the quest for the perfect ice cream cone in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Let's be honest- is there any topic more blog-worthy? I don't think so.

what's the difference between gelato and ice cream?
There are two primary differences between gelato and ice cream. First, ice cream is made with a minimum of 10% fat, which primarily comes from the cream used in the mix. Since gelato is made with milk, it has more like 5% fat. Second, gelato isn't whipped as fast as ice cream which makes it a little more dense because there is less air in it. Gelato also tends to melt a lot faster on those hot summer days.
Thanks Boo. I love hearing feedback. Yes you can get my line at Stauffers of Kissel Hill. The Blackberry Merlot will be in a couple of weeks. Also 8/24/08 is the 2nd Italian Fest. We will be there. Kim
