A Cornetto is a branded ice cream from the British company Wall’s: a crisp cone filled with ice cream, usually with chocolate on the inside, and often with nuts or fruit sauce on top. You buy it from a freezer, like a Magnum. It is a product name, so it takes a capital letter. Though actually the name comes from Italian for “little horn”, because the cone is horn-shaped — and in music, a cornetto is also an old horn-like instrument, which is not the pudding.
