Sounds like it should be added to the gelato canon. Though pine nuts are even more expensive than pistachios. Meanwhile, what do you think of the potential of this? http://mysecondbreakfast.com/pine-nut-gelato-recipe/
My 🇫🇷 husband did his baccalaureate year in Rome. Needless to say, he became a huge fan of gelato.
I love that you weave personal experiences with food history together & add a recipe at the end. Thanks for your work. I’ve signed up for quite a few substacks, but yours is the only one I stop to read.
Ah so that’s what makes gelato so amazing. Best one I ever ate was in Trapani, Sicily. White chocolate but with none of the over sweetness usually associated with white chocolate. I love all the legends you mention!
Setting 2 daughters with toddler, baby, another baby on way test of making this when we are all together in La Baule next month. There is a fabled ice cream and galettes joint, Manuel, on sea front. Can you suggest gelato joint in a) a small town in the Perigord Noir called Le Baugue b) Athens c) Clapham d) Soho
Ooh, gorgeous! Definitely one for adding to my booklet of ice cream recipes. Thank you!
I hope you find it both easy and delicious!
I have! Thank you again
I once had a pine nut gelato in Rome - one of the best things I've ever tasted and never found it again though I always search.
I can't imagine how that must have tasted - toasty? Pine-y? Rich?
It was very pine-nutty and creamy- somewhat like how pistachio gelato tastes but much better and richer.

I'm incredibly honoured! Thank you. I hope I manage to keep you reading on...(A Baccalaureate subject in gelato should be obligatory...)
Hmmmm. Never too old. Dare I mention it to him?
Urlo, urli, urliamo per gelati! 😂

Sicilians have gelati licked. (Sorry...)

Soho can only be Gelupo, on Archer St. Now has a booze license so you can combine your gelato with a negroni!
Naples without the flights!
In any town anywhere, ask a local. They all have a favourite and you can test every one of them.
As for the Neapolitan pizza- also heaven! Recipe please.
Absolutely! I'll go straight back to Naples and investigate!
