I love the fish at Excalibur, but I’ve never had their gelato! Granita is, roughly, flavored slushy ice — http://bleedingespresso.com/2007/06/whats-cooking-wednesday-coffee-granita.html

last visit to italy 8 years ago with my sisterinlaw we did a taste tour of gelato every day to every place we went to decide which had the best gelato and which flavor. our husbands thought we were crazy but we loved it. the winner “excalibur’ in our husbands hometown of santa caterina. now i hear of “granita”. what exactly is that?

How funny, I was just about to put a link up to my “gelato flavors decoded” post, and then found that someone else had posted my “ordering gelato” post already. Well, here’s the gelato flavors post, where you can read all about Zuppa Inglese & many more:

My favorites are numerous, and some of the ones I love are hard to pair with other flavors, so sometimes I make it tough on myself to get the perfect flavor marriage. Some of my old standbys are (in no particular order): caramello, amarena, cioccolato all’arancia, lampone, and cioccolato fondente. The one I have the hardest time pairing is liquirizia – husband says I’m crazy to even like it, but I can’t help it. I like black licorice. I usually go with fior di latte as a 2nd flavor for that one, but I’m always on the lookout for a better combo.

For no reason I can figure out, I really like amarena & caramello together…

Great info Jessica, thanks I haven’t even seen black licorice gelato…strange since that’s *such* a huge thing here in Calabria…our liquirizia…l’oro nero di Calabria

Variegato Amarena sounds intriguing – what type of cherries? And I love, love, love Zuppe Inglese gelato.

And oh, those pastries!

I so love gelato and all Italian desserts – wish I had more access in A2.

They are black cherries, but that’s all I know. I think you need to get your Italian neighbor to start a bakery or gelato place….

You have painted me a picture of a sleepy village, half empty and fairly poor, then you show me this splendor!

Oh Judith, even the half empty, sleepy, poor villages in Italy must have gelato! I think it’s in the Constitution

Thanks for answering my questions — I have gotten spoilt with most of the last 10 years living near subway lines with frequent train traffic. But now that I think about it, when I lived near Zurich in high school, the commuter rail was hourly except for rush hour when there were like 2 trains an hour.

Yes I think living in a city you can get very used to doing anything you want, when you want it, but that’s just one of the features of life here that anyone who’s staying for the long haul must adjust to; not everyone can, but for me, eh, where do I have to be in two minutes flat? Everyone’s always late in Italy anyway

Shhh, I didn’t say that….

Mouthwatering!!

Oh, God, I love gelato. Must be my Italian genetics. I just found out 2 days ago that there’s a Polish Bakery near my appartment that sells gelato.

It’s not exactly the same though. I would *kill* for a real, Italian, gelato.

I can only dream about the gelato we had in Italy, I see some Gelato shops opening up here. Gelato by name only, the taste will never compare!
