He was curious about how it would taste so he ordered some "Fox's U-Bet Chocolate Syrup". He said he would be bringing the ingredients to make them for us on Sunday.
Really, no eggs are involved at all. These are the ingredients: the chocolate syrup, whole milk and club soda.
The recipe that Chopper was following said to start with an inch of chocolate syrup in a glass...
Then add an inch of whole milk...
Then add club soda and stir...
That's when there was a flurry of excitement as the mixture developed a big head and began overflowing the glass! On the next glass he stirred as he poured the club soda in and that made it fizz even more!
No photos were taken as we scrambled for towels to mop up the overflow and grabbed up the glasses to quickly drink the top down.
Next, Chopper tried mixing the milk and chocolate together then Lonnie, ex-soda-jerk that he is, mixed his soda in a little at a time and it stayed in the glass.
The drinks were surprisingly good ! Lonnie said it tasted just like an old fashioned chocolate soda...something he loved as a kid, but hadn't had in years. He put a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream in his and he liked it that way. I thought it was better without adding that extra sweetness.
The Sasquatch had a little taste of the Egg Cream then decided to just have a bowl of ice cream with the chocolate syrup on it.
It was fun to try something different. Sweet and refreshing...not as heavy as a milk shake.
I would have never expected that mix of ingredients to taste so good.
Thanks for the unusual treat, Chopper!
