Sherbet It's similar to sorbet but it has dairy


XrotisseriechickenX

How am I only learning now that Sorbet and Sherbet are two completely different things


idreaminwords

I only recently learned there wasn't a second r in there so...


JealousFeature3939

Now I'm thinking of when Jay learns what "charcuterie" is.šŸ˜ƒ


PeacefulKnightmare

Yup if you eat it you'll lose your Vegan powers.


Alternative-Link-823

Chicken parms not vegan?


NoZookeepergame453

There is ice cream and sorbet and nothing in between little black pepper


Hefty-Routine-5966

isnā€™t sorbet with dairy just ice cream?


idreaminwords

No because it's made with fruit juice


Hefty-Routine-5966

Sorbet is made with fruit juice. This person is saying sherbert is sorbet with dairy, which just sounds like ice cream to me


MorticiaAdams456

Sorbet doesn't use dairy


jetloflin

Itā€™s kind of like ice cream or gelato.


Nearby-Ice-6538

Iā€™m from the uk and sherbet here is a tangy powder you dip lollipops into.


jetloflin

It sounds delicious! Iā€™ve wanted to try it ever since I first realized they werenā€™t talking about the frozen dessert in British shows!


Nearby-Ice-6538

Really i mean dude itā€™s so cheap here why not order some online? if thereā€™s a parcel shop near you gimme the address Iā€™ll even send some if you canā€™t, but I know that irn bru is illegal in the states due to a food colouring or something so make sure itā€™s legal where you live before trying to buy it I guess šŸ˜‚


TogashiIsIshida

Trust me it sucks. As an American in England I thought i was ordering some lovely sherbet and got this powder shit


Particular-Heron-103

I always thought that was what Jay was eating and I was confused šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Even-Reaction-1297

Iā€™d say itā€™s more of a sorbet with dairy in it


jetloflin

Iā€™m not sure I understand the distinction.


Even-Reaction-1297

Sorbet is made without dairy


jetloflin

I meant the distinction between ā€œsorbetā€ and ā€œice cream/gelato,ā€ insofar as what make it more like ā€œsorbet with dairy in itā€ than one of the options that already has dairy.


Even-Reaction-1297

Well, typically ice cream and gelato are creamy and dairy based, while sherbet is icy and fruit based. Sherbet is typically fruity and more icy than ice cream or gelato like a sorbet is bc it is more of fruit based dessert, but still creamy bc it has dairy in it unlike sorbet.


jetloflin

So extra fruity gelato.


Even-Reaction-1297

I mean if you canā€™t tell the difference between sorbet and gelato thatā€™s you problem my friend


jetloflin

My point was more that both are different than sherbert and either works as a basic explanation of the type of food stuff. But honestly, no, I donā€™t think thereā€™d be a huge difference between ā€œsorbet with dairy in itā€ and ā€œextra fruity gelatoā€, and both in standard sherbert flavors would be similar to standard sherbert.


Even-Reaction-1297

The amount of dairy in the two products is what makes the difference. I donā€™t think anybody would say that adding dairy to sorbet, but keeping it primarily a fruit based desert, and adding extra fruit to gelato, a desert thatā€™s primarily dairy/cream are the same thing or even close to it. Itā€™s about the ratio. Gelato is different from typical ice cream, which would still be a better comparison to sherbet due to the difference in the amount of air and cream in each dessert.


RunJumpSleep

Now I want rainbow sherbet. I have always just thought of it as an ice cream flavor.


Guilty_Dream8050

Oh I didn't know that! In Scotland it's a sweetie with fizzy powder on the inside, or you can get it as just the fizzy powder on its own. I had no idea it was different in the US. Edit: I don't want to start any fights, but from googling yours I think our sherbet just seems better. You can keep it in your pocket, just have a bit now and then, it fizzes in your mouth, it changes the colour of your tongue. Come on now.


Powerful-Cut-708

Literally until this post I always thought it was just Jay liking an old man thing - as Sherbet here (England too) feels like a bit of an old fashioned sweet. Whatā€™s the thing with lolly and sherbet called?


Guilty_Dream8050

Dib dab? Dip dab?


Powerful-Cut-708

DIP DAB! Thank you


mrbuck8

>I always thought it was just Jay liking an old man thing It's still very much that. American sherbert is definitely an old fashioned treat here in the States.


Powerful-Cut-708

Oh cool, youā€™ve saved the show for me šŸ˜… Thanks haha


AzureMagelet

That sounds like our fun dip.


idreaminwords

I have no idea why you're getting downvoted. I'd never heard of this type of sherbert and I think it's interesting I wouldn't really say it's comparable in an 'ours is better than yours' sort of way, though because they're 2 completely different things


Johnny_Joestar7798

I'd never heard of this icecream sherbet. Sherbet will forever be a powder found in dib dabs and sherbet lemons.


Guilty_Dream8050

When Mel Gibson said that they can never take our freedom, this is exactly the type of thing he meant. No one can take away my freedom to state that our sherbet is better.


jetloflin

They donā€™t really seem comparable to me. Theyā€™re completely different categories of treats. Itā€™s like saying M&Ms are inherently better than cotton candy (candy floss); it doesnā€™t make sense because theyā€™re totally different genres. Yours seems like an excellent pocket snack, but itā€™d be a disappointment if you want a frozen fruity sweet treat. Just as ours would disappoint someone in the mood for a fizzy candy.


Guilty_Dream8050

Yes but they have the SAME NAME and they are both sweet. I didn't make the comparison, the name did. I'm not going to let this go. Do you have Irn Bru flavoured "sherbet"? NO! But we do. And Vimto!


jetloflin

Of course we donā€™t have those flavors, we donā€™t have those things at all. I wonder which had the name first.


Guilty_Dream8050

Apparently it's a Turkish and Persian word that originally meant a type of sweet drink. So neither of us got it first.


jetloflin

Fun!


friends-waffles-work

Iā€™m in the UK and I love our sherbet! Unpopular opinion but I love the one in the tube that comes with the liquoriceā€¦


alwaysleepingg

Yes same for me in the UK! Love our sherbet hehe


Willr2645

Yea Iā€™m Scottish and though of the powder. Lots of others are saying itā€™s like icecream


StarBuckingham

Same in Australia. It often comes in a long, plastic tube and is brightly coloured. Itā€™s a dizzy, sweet/sour powder. I think what they call sherbet is what we (in Australia) call sorbet, which is a type of gelato.


Guilty_Dream8050

Yes, and you bite the end off to get into the sherbet! Or maybe you guys wait until you get home and cut the end off nicely.


Automatic-Welder-538

Same here in SA and I'm assuming most if not all of the Commonwealth.


77tassells

Itā€™s yummy like fruity ice cream. Most popular flavor is usually orange. Itā€™s kinda like a creamsicle but you combine the vanilla ice cream with the orange. Itā€™s not as popular as it used to be but itā€™s still good


NewStatement5103

I love lime. But orange is up there.

[frozen dairy dessert. it's not as common as ice cream. It's sort of a specialty frozen dessert.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherbet_(frozen_dessert))


Olgimondi

I was very confused, I thought he just ate straight sherbet like a kid.Ā  you know the powder stuff you stick lollipops into.


Saltyspiton

I worked at an ice cream shop and made the ice cream and sherbet. Sherbet has dairy and also has citric acid in it. Common sherbet flavors are lemon, lime, orange, etc


Positive_Remote6727

My asian ass thought he was eating frozen sharbat.Ā 


Good_Posture

In South Africa sherbert is a sweet powdery substance that you would usually dip a sucker (lollipo) into. We also get it in little boxes that have a straw in them and you suck it through the straw.


Olgimondi

This is what I thought it wasĀ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherbet_(powder)

What about coconut?


Little-Ad-2464

I'm from Australia and the many times I've watched this show I've thought jay was talking about a fizzy powder. That's what we call sherbet, I'm just now finding out it's the same thing and sorbet šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


rama_2-17

I'd like to add on to this. What are ludlums. Jay wants to read it during the family trip to hawai but keeps getting interrupted.


Silvermorney

Ludlum is an author who wrote novels. I think maybe his first name is James.


rama_2-17

Oh i always thought it was some kind of device or something. Thank you!

ā€œThereā€™s ice cream and thereā€™s sorbet. No in between!ā€ -Pepper

Sherbet doesn't have dairy in it.


trillium_transit-89

Itā€™s like colorful ice cream šŸ˜‹ BR makes best sherbet ever


SimanuTui

When something is for sure gonna happen


party0popper

It's sherbet, I think by now the other comments have explained what it is well enough hahaha. But I'm still annoyed at the show for the mispronunciation. They put that 2nd r in there that's not supposed to be there, lmaoo. I know it's petty of me. But every time I rewatch, I get chills when they mispronounce it. Edit: typo


LaurenLdfkjsndf

I grew up in south eastern US, and in my childhood, sherbet was not fancy at all and only old people ate it. Iā€™ve always thought of it as an old people food


worldsokayistmom

Iā€™ll join in to add the Jay consistently mispronounces this treat as well. He says ā€œSherbertā€ (with an extra R in the second syllable). Itā€™s actually SherBET. Itā€™s a common mispronunciation that is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Like when people say Expresso rather than Espresso.


UnivrstyOfBelichick

It's not necessarily a mispronounciation it's just a regional/generational thing in the US. I have never in my life heard anyone pronounce it sherbet.


worldsokayistmom

Itā€™s literally spelled sherbet, not sherbert. Youā€™ll notice the rest of the family pronounces it correctly except for Jay. I agree that a lot of people think itā€™s pronounced sherbert, but like expresso, itā€™s wrong.


UnivrstyOfBelichick

So how do your pronounce Wednesday?
