The Greek Obsession With Gelato.

After being in Greece over the last little while, I've noticed that Greek people really seem to love Gelato.  I'm sure it has something to do with their proximity to Italy.
It's not that I don't find the Gelato here to be spectacular, particularly in the Northern Island of Corfu. I just find it disappointing that they don't support their regular ice cream makers as much.  Greece has some of the creamiest, richest ice cream I've ever tried.  Even the cheap stuff from the dairy case at grocery stores is way above par.  So why push the Gelato, why not push the high quality creamy stuff?  Trust me, if you ever visit Greece, try the ice cream before you try the Gelato, you'll be very happy you did.
