Multi-purpose phrase

Category: Food
Phrase: Perche no?
English translation: Why not?
Significance of phrase: I first learned this phrase when we were looking for the Perche No? gelateria during one of our Quests in Florence. Since leaving Florence, I have found myself using the phrase quite often, mostly in response to the question "shall we get gelato?" It is a simple phrase, but I think that any phrase that involves use of our limited Italian to try more gelato is important and useful for all the other students in this program.
