The texture is also different between ice cream and gelato.
Gelato has a bit of sorbet texture.
...

No point in arguing words as we are probably talking about different things even if similar.

I actually love very plain rose flavoured ice-cream with water crystals in it.

Cream is the fatty part of milk that does float to the top of the milk. We may all have different words for it but the fatty part still floats.

Nobody else has to like English but it is often quite a 'literal' language.

... and then it can be more..

It's such a mix after all..

It includes yours.

Funny that in Norwegian cream is called fløte and in Danish fløde, meaning float.

All languages are a mix usually.
Apparently nobody understand Anglo-Saxon anymore.
The English today is a mix of about 50% Old Norse, 30% French and 20% Latin, Anglo-Saxon etc.

And the mixing is continuing. For instance the Swedish word Ombudsman that is now used in English.
And all English words that is now used in Swedish...

Speaking of Latin...

I rather like to call it logical: Fløte/fløde floats on top of the milk!
Cfr even cRunchy's explanation:

How do you explain the swedish 'grädde' (cream)?

Just another surprising picture to water your mouths. Taken from an Italian ice cream bar in my mid-Norwegian neighborhood.
The big surprise is: The ice cream bar is now closed! The locals didn't appreciate this ice cream enough to make the bar profit over time!!?

That Norwegian and Danish are logical?
That Swedish and English are logical?
Linguistics call it figuratively when calling cream something that is floating.
Now the English word cream is actually a french word crème for a texture.
Oh dear. Now it's really getting complicated....

Swedes calling it Grädde? Who came up with that word?
No idea.
Better if we would use the word Flott, Swedish word for buttered cream.
Sometimes anyway:)

Grundbetydelsen för grädde är ’hinna’ och behöver inte alls nödvändigtvis handla om mjölk; det kan också åsyfta skum på kokande gryta eller mycket tunn is på vatten: Dä va en litân greddâ på vannât i baljâne i da, ’det var en liten hinna (av is) på vattnet i baljan idag’, Angelstad, Småland (1939).

Hehe:)
Perhaps the best explanation to Grädde.
Gräddet på moset så att säga:)
Hmm. How to translate this...

How to swear like a Swede.

Now you are just teasing us Brits :)

Hehehehe. Yummy!
Now the weather it's sunny and hot you have to gorge yourself with gelato (or ice cream).

Indeed.
You could even get used to annoying ice cream trucks playing silly songs 😛

Which reminds me.
Music is THE BEST.

Be careful when you drive in Scandinavia...

You will find interesting signs and adverts not just in Scandinavia 😄

Hehe:)
English spoken people are very offended on how foreign names and words sound.

Ah, the Swedish Chef of Muppet Show is an all time favorite 😂, and (being norwegian) I never suspected him of being anything but a 'kock' 🤭

Oh, have to check this 'Norwegian' restaurant out sometime! 6440 Elnesvågen is not that far away 🚗
They apparently use a Swedish web designer 😯. This results in a wonderful 'svorsk' blend of languages in their home page text. Norwegian spelling of words like "lunsj", "en rekke" and "rekkevidden" nicely combined with Swedish spelling in "hem" and "hitta oss". Some menus are naturally written in English. Even a typo: "foretter" is included!
Running an Asian kitchen in Norway ain't easy. The food may still be good though 🤗
