RE: Cook with Us #28: Strawberry : Was it a Milkshake or Freakshake?
Wow - I have never heard of a freakshake. One thing I have always loved is what we called a Fruit Salad Health Drink and this was like its name suggests, fruit salad whipped up and blended with ice-cream. Still a favourite for me. Yours looks amazing !!
Thank you @pandamama. It does appear that what we held for granted as a simple drink has evolved so much that we can’t even call it a milkshake anymore. The Australian own freakshake is testament to that.
My late father owned an ice-cream parlour and they had a Sundae called "Awful Awful" - your freakshake reminded me of it. It had choc sauce poured into the iced glass so it stuck on the sides and contents were fresh fruit, strawberries, nuts, ice-cream and then topped with cream and a cherry. We even had people coming in and competing to see who could eat it the quickest and also once how many they could eat. It was also served in a very large glass
Thank you @pandamama. This sounds absolutely amazing. I think that ice cream and milkshake for that matter are those sweet treat that absolutely create lasting memories. I can tell that you’ve built such memories just by the amount of details in your comments.
