Sherbet



Sherbet is an ice cream that originated in Turkey. It originally came from a drink but has made it to the USA in the form of ice cream. The stuff is delicious- I am not sure how to describe its taste but it is quite delicious- it is my favorite flavor of ice cream (chocolate chip mint is next). Although Wikipedia is very vague, "Sherbet "şerbet" in Turkey is a traditional cold drink prepared with rose hips, cornelian cherries, rose or licorice and a variety of spices." I have had sherbet mixed with a lemon flavor (usually in the middle) and it was delicious. I recommend you give this stuff a try- I saw some tonight in the grocery store and bought a small carton to eat over this week- it was only $2.00 USD too! I love this stuff, its fat free and has natural sugars (in english, healthy).
