[MR] Food terminologies

I stand corrected on the egg cream.? I'm from upstate, and the egg?cream is a Big Apple thing . . . . I DID read about that treat, years back, but my memory got fuzzed by the passage of time ("Ah yes, I remember it well!")

I do remember wondering why they call 'em that, there being neither egg nor cream in it . . .

Umm... as a former New Yorker, from NYC, I can say with certainty that an egg cream is NOT a milkshake. An egg cream has milk, chocolate syrup and soda water.?

I haven't had one in YEARS.?

Aurelia?
