I have had to reconsider my taste top three owing to discovering a new drink flavour in the chill cabinet at Lidl.
Its Chocolate Fudge Brownie milk shake and is really quite moo-vellous!
This has knocked down a drink flavour I've had at the top since I was a kid!
So this means my new top three drink tastes looks like this:
1. Chocolate Fudge Brownie milk shake
2. Lime milk shake
3. American cream soda
As a kid I adored Sarsaparilla drink too but I haven't had it for decades. Is it even still available?
What are your top tastes readers?
When I was a kid, the milkman would offer small quarter pint chocolate milks called Mikki. They came in a glass bottle with red printing and a silver foil cap with red wording. They had a distinctive boiled milk taste, similar to today's UHT milks.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else remember Mikki?
Nope, not heard of Mikkis but I like the idea Looey. We got milk at school, maybe in bottles and then later in triangular packs that you opened with a hole and shoved a straw in. Probably full fat milk with cream in!
DeleteMilkshake addiction is a terrible thing! There I was, about 4 years old on one of our visits to my mums parents when we walked to the local shops. Outside was a milk carton dispensing machine, and my mum bought a strawberry milk carton for us kids to share. From the it was all downhill. Nesquick strawberry, chocolate and banana I had them all. Much later I graduated to bottle of Frijj, quaffing them as fast as I bought them. Banana, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, those weird xmas ones and yes, even chocolate fudge were guzzled down without end. Fortunately I broke the addiction. Frijj-free for the last 5 years!
ReplyDeleteThe best milkshake is homemade, Frijj are far too sweet for me these days, so a banana chopped up in a jug whizzed up with milk is my idea of heaven. Sluuuurp!
I'm still addicted Timmy and dread the cold turkey of home made smoothies you describe. Frijj Fudge Brownie is worth going to war for!
DeleteCaramel, banana, and lime would top my list. Also, a proper milkshake must have icecream in it, otherwise it is simply flavoured milk. A banana milkshake should have milk, a banana (this is essential), and plenty of vanilla icecream. All turned to frothy heaven in a blender.
ReplyDeleteSarsaparilla is still around, at least as a fizzy soft-drink. Not sure about as a milk-shake flavouring.
Caramel milkshake! Now I must try that Paul! I would say an ice cremed milkshake is something else but very yummy indeed. Ice cream in lemonade drink is called a float here.
DeleteNo No No ! A milkshake should NEVER have ice cream in it !
ReplyDeleteA milkshake is a drink and should quench thirst.
Putting ice cream into it turns it into a frustrating, thick, cold, slurrey that's no use to any thirsty kid on a hot midsummer's day.
Use the straw test. If you have to suck hard to consume it, it isn't right.
As for smoothies, they're not a drink either. They're too glutinous, a sort of fruity slime, yuck !
A milk shake is a flavoured milk drink, with a frothy top but liquid underneath, like a good capuccino, preferably made in a 1960s Italian cafe.
My favourite milkshake flavour was strawberry, by the way.
I went to a wonderfil Italian cafe in Preston every Saturday with my mates Mish, Bruccianis. Always got a vimto with ice cream it in and a ham finger roll. I can see and taste it all now 50 years later!
