Turns out there is a skin condition that presents with the same rash that I had AND it can be brought on by ketosis! Itâs called pruritis pigmentosa. I had to prove this to myself, so I did what any diligent n=1 experimenter would do: I ate more carbs. The following morning, that rash got better.
Gelato: Dense and Intense. Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream, but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs (or no eggs at all). It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser than ice cream.
But here's the thing: gelato's just the Italian word for ice cream. Though it does stick to the tendencies I've pointed out above, individual recipes do vary. Some call for cornstarch, others for egg yolks; some use higher amounts of sugar and others use less. But it's all ice cream, just how soft serve is just warmer, freshly churned ice cream, and frozen yogurt is just soft serve made with yogurt as the dairy base.
