Hi !!!

Sherbet?
What is its origin?
My first thought was "Hebrew" but I don't know...
Interesting!

ETA oh lol!!!
I looked for it and I found It was the kind of ice-cream (Sorbetto in Italian).

Sorry sorry sorry
But the sound seems Hebrew, isn't it?
We...I'm studyindg Hebrew History and Literature right now so maybe I'm studying too much lol

it's a dessert ...

Like ice cream but less milk and more fruit. Orange, lime, raspberry and lemon are popular flavors.

Sherbet and Sorbet are different. At least in the U.S.

Sherbet contains milk, Sorbet does not.

How do I know? I grew up only eating sorbet, and was not allowed sherbet, as I have a milk allergy.

Yeah, I think in the U.S., Sherbet is somewhere between ice cream and sorbet.

According to Wikipedia:

Sherbet, an American term for a frozen dessert like sorbet, but containing a small amount of milk fat.

I've barely eaten it myself. I've always thought of it as a poor substitute for ice cream.
