"Al" is A+IL (preposition + article). You will find them pretty often in Italian, it's barely impossible to say anything without things like AL, NEL, SUL, DEL... :/
At the beginning of the lesson for food on the main screen, they give tips/notes:
Dish di ingredient: the ingredient is the main or only component of the dish, e.g. "succo di limone" (lemon juice). In this case the article is never used before the ingredient. Dish con ingredient: the ingredient is a visible component of the dish or used as garnish, e.g. "fragole con panna" (strawberries with cream). In this case a definite article can be used before the ingredient. Dish a ingredient: the dish has been flavored with the ingredient, or tastes like the ingredient, e.g. "gelato al cioccolato" (chocolate ice cream). In this case the definite article is mandatory before the ingredient, forming an articulated preposition with a.
No we didn't. It's introduced slowly like "nel" All these grammatical explanations are not directly applicable in speaking. I feel like I am making a translation instead of saying it because I am used to saying it.
Cream in english is panna in Italian. I don't think crema is the correct translation.
Depends on what you mean by 'cream'. Most languages have several words for this, English doesn't. Panna is the white liquid made from milk (basically the fat of the milk) which obviously isn't what they mean here.
Many languages have different words for these two things, English doesn't which might be confusing to native English speakers. 'Panna' is the white stuff that you make from milk (you let it stand around for a while and then the cream is at the top) while 'crema' is some dessert thing, no clue how to explain it in English.

Yes. Custard in italian is crema pasticciera, but it's commonly shortened. crema can also mean "ointment". To disambiguate, you can use pomata. panna means "cream", and when its whipped, it's montata.
Crema is not cream it is custard. Panna is cream. So says my Italian boyfriend. Possibly in the US you call custard cream but here in Europe they are very different things.
we don't, custard is pudding. Cream is heavy fat content milk. Custard is like creme brulee or an egg custard.
I am confused. My Oxford Italian dictionary shows "cioccolata" which is correct?
According to my dictionary, cioccolata is chocolate only in the the sense of a drink - I am drinking (hot) chocolate.
Chocolate you eat is cioccolato.
If the cream is feminine, why is the chocolate belonging to the cream masculine?
Isn't Il crema al cioccolato correct? Because in the tips section it is said that in Italian, we should never leave the 'the' 'il'
when i moved my curser over the word cream - it reveals the word "panna" so why is it wrong if i used it
Are this coffe, chocolate and crema and other beverages always enchange places?
Wouldn't it depend whether it is chocolate cream or cream with chocolate? This being the frst time I've seen the words, and not knowing what the dish actually is... how can it be wrong to say either crema al ciccolato or latte ciccolato
Why is panna not accepted as cream? This was on what were supposed to be my "Legendary" attempts!
