View Full Version : Best milkshakes?
Wheres the place you had your best milkshkes?
Mine would have to be from esquires cofee houses in harlow. Yummy
(and i know its a weird thread :p)
Allergic to dairy produce :cry:
...and the number of people who then ask me:"what, you can't eat eggs either?" :disturbd:
Believe it or not, growing up I would have said the best milkshake was from the Little Chef. That was long before they got bought up and handed around among various plcs of course. They are generally not a patch on what they were 20 years ago.
Now? Believe it or not I actually like McDonald's shakes, although I accept they prolly aren't technically a proper 'milkshake'. Their best of all time was a limited-edition mango flavour they did one summer back in the very early 90s. I'm gutted that never came back.
These days I prefer smoothies to full-blown milkshakes. The best smoothie on God's Earth, in my humble opinion, is the Highland Strawberry Smoothie available at the Coach House Cafe, a superb little restaurant in Luss on the banks of Loch Lomond.
i remember when we used to go to wales on our hols, we used to go to this cafe place which did the most amazing milkshakes, can't remember where in wales or what it was called :erm:
like towny i like maccy d's milkshakes....
and i agree towny smoothies are lush :)

Not into shakes myself but guess the $5 shake from Jackrabbit Slim's* would be a good bet. :)
Mia and Vincent both thought it was pretty special.

I prefer the Burger King ones because at least, when they've melted, they don't taste of more chemicals than an ICI Plant!

I love home made So-good shakes (chocolate and strawberry) YUMMY
Yuk, I hate milkshakes ..... :(
Best milkshakes I ever had were in a restaurant in Callella in Spain called Groucho's.They were more like liquid chocolate ice cream. :drool:
Incog. :waving:
Best ones ever, and still are, are the ones the milk floats carry, the ones in propper glass pint bottles, other than them got to go with whoever said Crusher

Home milkshakes made from fresh strawberrys or banana with ice cream and milk blend the fruit add ice cream and then add milk whisk up till thick and frothy. Great milk shakes are always fresh.

We have on of these near where I live! Never been in there though.....
I always wonder why people find out about those places they are much more expensive why did you buy a milkshake in a coffee house!? Mcdonalds are nice and they are cheaper.

No, there speaks someone who prefers BK shakes for the reason given!

It is not whether they actually *contain* less chemicals, but that they *taste* better!

The chemist in me want to shake you all and point out that everything in the universe is made from chemicals, even you lot, but I'll refrain!!! :Peace:
MMM, milkshakes. I work at Asda in the Photoshop. Me and my colleague go to the provisions department and grab 1 stawberry Frigg milshake, pay for it, and then go and open up :) mmmm. hehe. We keep it in our fridge in the morning.
Back when I used to drink them....the milkshake mixture (before it's diluted) from McDonalds was the best. Like the thickest, tastiest, richest milkshake you've ever tasted! :drool:

How on earth do you suck that lot up a straw?
IMO a milk shake should be a a proper drink and not slightly runny icecream which really needs a spoon.
Nestles Nesquick with full cream milk done in the blender at home. Can't beat it :D

Nah, none of this milk skake rubbish thickened up with guar gum (or whatever they use nowadays). What you need is an egg nog.
Take a pint of milk (preferably coolish) and add one egg. Whisk vigorously. Add a little sugar and salt and a good dash of frshly grated nutmeg. Whisk again. Add sherry to taste, give it a final stir, sit back in comfort and drink. Ah, ambrosia!

Ah, but we're talking smoothies now, as opposed to those products produced by industrial chemists.
