News just in…Everyday when we produce wonderful artisanal batches of gelato in our Wisconsin Ave shop, we are actually creating a lot more than just something to eat. heehheehe. We have a photo to prove it.
The word roots: gelo-, geloto-, gelato-, gelat- come from the Greek word for “laughter”/”laughing”. (from http://www.wordinfo.info/words/index/info/view_unit/889/?letter=G&spage=1)
and “gelatology” is the study of laughter
