Ciao Sabrina,

dovrebbe essere questo. I sorbetti spesso vengono serviti dopo il pesce o comunque il secondo piatto per *pulire la bocca*, per rendere più neutro il palato.
Nel tuo caso si tratta di un typo (palate)...

agree  Raffaella Panigada: Si, Valeria mi perdonerà ma per quanto giusto "pulisci palato" mi fa pensare a quei nuovi spazzolini pulisci lingua ecc, che non vorrei proprio vedere sul mio menu ;-)
