Ice Cream "Gelato" Rome, Italy 2012

One of the things I knew I would miss most when I left Europe was their ice cream. It is so true that a lot of foods and drinks are made more potent in the European countries.

As I traveled different countries, my classmates and I both noticed the enhanced flavor the ice cream had.

It is also typical especially in Germany to serve their ice cream with two different flavors. As you can see in the following photo, there is mango ice cream and chocolate ice cream together.

Not only was the ice cream flavor so much more flavorful, but as apart of our trip I noticed that German beer is extremely stronger smelling than American beer. Our tour guide encouraged us to go to this brewery in Germany and we had to casually make conversation with some locals. As I first walked into the brewery I passed by waitresses who were carrying huge mugs of German beer. Every time I passed a waitress, the scent of the beer was way stronger than if it was American beer. I thought the smell was strong when I stepped through the doorway, and I had no idea that the smell was capable of being stronger until I passed a few waitresses.

I have always heard that American beer is "watered down" in comparison to German beer, and now I can definitely say it's not just a small difference but that the statement is very true.
