I think we definitely need more context and even the original sentence in which this appears.

ice


Definition: n. Called granité in France and granita in Italy, an ice is a frozen mixture of water, sugar and liquid flavoring such as fruit juice, wine or coffee. The proportion is usually 4 parts liquid to 1 part sugar. During the freezing process, ices are generally stirred frequently to produce a slightly granular final texture. ice v. 1. To chill a food, glass or serving dish in order to get it icy cold and sometimes coated with frost. 2. To spread frosting over the surface of a cake.

By the way I don't know what the pig guts are doing in this but they definitely sound wrong.

Peer comment(s):

agree Alex Temmingh : Pig guts?? Exactly my idea, Kate! That's why I asked for more context. A translation might be granité.

a solution or a lead ?

Source: http://food.oregonstate.edu/d/yogurt.html
They explain that yog(h)urt is healthy for the gut .. of the one who eats it.

"Yogurt has long been believed to be a healthy food source and thus beneficial to the body in such a way that it is seen to "enhance" the microflora of the gut. The production of lactic acids by the microorganisms in yogurt, Lactobacillus bulgaricus Streptococci thermophilous, can decrease the pH of the gut. This apparent increase in acidity affects the solubility and resulting absorption of minerals, such as calcium. In addition, the lowered pH creates an environment less favorable for common foodborne pathogens."

Maybe they apply pig guts in the production proces as an extra enhancement of this effect?
