fagylalt

fagylalt (plural fagylaltok)

1. ice cream (sold by scoops or from a dispenser)

   Coordinate term: (see the Usage notes below) jégkrém

Though both fagylalt and jégkrém may be rendered in English as ice cream, they are different: Fagylalt is served either by scoops or other portions from a dispenser, usually in a cone, sometimes in a cup or bowl. It is a product of the catering industry, hence produced at the point of sale and is not packaged. It may be created not only from dairy products and fruits, with additives, but also from premixed ice-cream powder (with the exception of artisanal ice cream). What they have in common is a special freezing process that gives the product its characteristic consistency. On the other hand, jégkrém (“pre-packaged ice cream, usually on a stick, such as a popsicle”) is an industrial product: it is produced in factories and then packaged for delivery to consumers. They may be whether milk-based or water-based.
