Malt? Or Shake?

[foggood11]

What sez you, and why?

Malt (chocolate, naturally) for me, without question. Can remember going to the Hygeia dairy in South Texas as a little kid during the summer. My aunt would take my cousins and me. It'd be hotter than... well, you know. It's gone now. But the memories will last forever.

Shakes for me,due to the malted milk ball incident when I was 10...

I love them but I can look at one and gain weight. I try and limit myself to only two or three a year. Vanilla.

Where in the devil can you even get a malt anymore. Every where I go it's only shakes shakes shakes!

 

[NCTexan]

I made many of both at Ashburn's Ice Cream in Dallas. A good high school job.

Chocolate malt... Vanilla shake for me.

Steak & Shake sells malts. Some of them very good--they used to offer a dark chocolate that was sinfully rich and delicious.

I rarely order such things anymore due to increasing lactose intolerance as I've gotten old, but I'll take a malt anytime. I like strawberry or vanilla better than chocolate except for that dark one.

Lactaid tablets work very well. I can eat ice cream again.

 

[okav8tor]

Chocolate malt with extra chocolate .....

Reid's in Lockport, NY will make you a "Mountain Dew Cooler" (basically a Mtn. Dew milkshake)....It's crack for the taste buds!

 

[feralmerril]

You can still order malts around here.

 

[dcxplant]

MALT!

There is no question....this thread is confusing! ;-)

 

[bdsorcic]

I love both!

I grew up in New York City in the 1940's - 1950's. They were called "malteds" back then and were actually made with malt - if you didn't want the malt, you'd just order a "milk shake". Using the words "malt" or "shake" would identify you as being from "the country", which basically meant anyplace west of the Hudson River or north of The Bronx!

I paid my dues for all those malteds of my youth with bypass surgery 2 years ago, but I still have one once or twice a year if I visit NYC.

Make malts at home. Recently had the devil of a time finding malted milk. Chocolate, of course.

 

[ChuckS1]

Chocolate malt for me, but only from Carl's in Fredericksburg.

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

Both. Even made them at home.

Sonic Drive-in. The car hops are on skates too.

Root beer float.

We had a shop that made a great malt:

Chocolate Blue Bell Ice Cream
Chocolate syrup
Extra malt
Minimal milk

No whipped cream, cherry optional.

They are O.O.B. now but I can get one with less premium ice cream nearby.

Due to belt shrinkage, I really limit myself in this area.

MALT...................

Anything else is just soft ice cream!!!!! Like McDonald's disaster they currently sell

Raspberry Malt with an egg! Laurentian Dairy, Deep River Ontario!

Raspberry Malt with an egg! Laurentian Dairy, Deep River Ontario!

While I don't care for the raspberry, I always used to have an egg in my chocolate malt or shake. I like them both. Unless I make it at home I don't find anyone willing to put an egg in the mix anymore. Everyone got afraid of the salmonela involved.

Why DQ of course.. but ya gotta ask for Malt ( a little extra please)

 

[rwsmith]

I've had some....

We have an old fashioned ice cream shot. It's called "Ye Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shop". I've had some malts in recent years and they don't taste good anymore. Probably made out of soy nowadays.

 

[pharman]

It's gotta be a MALT! (peanut butter of course)

It's gotta be a MALT....if you are ever near Sandusky, Ohio go to the Toft's Dairy and ice cream parlor on Venice Road and get a peanut butter malt...I'm telling you it is to die for! You WILL think you died and went to heaven! UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[policerevolvercollector]

Malted...no question. Dairy Queen still makes a decent one.

Wiles Smith Drug Store, 1635 Union Ave, Memphis, TN. They still have a 1940's Soda Fountain and lunch counter.

BTW, my vote goes to W-S Hershey's Dark Chocolate MALT, but you have to buy the dark chocolate bar so they can put it in the MALT mixer. One maybe two a year is all that SWMBO (Sometimes ) will let me have, although I haven't been in in the last couple of years to have a MALT.

Black and white shake . Prefer Breyers ice cream, but getting harder to find places that make them anymore.
