Are you sure about the ice-cream? Shouldn't it be ice-cream or fruit? KF 06:00 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- I'm not an expert, but I would call something made with fruit and no ice cream a smoothie, definitely not a (milk)shake. --Brion
- I'm not talking about fast food chains churning out beverages full of unspecified ingredients. I'm talking about mum or dad pouring milk into a blender and adding some chopped bananas or strawberries (and no sugar) and maybe just a tiny amount of vanilla flavour. In various parts of Europe this is referred to as a milkshake. KF 06:19 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- I call that a smoothie, but I use soymilk so I'm just a crazy hippie. Koyaanis Qatsi
If it has ice cream, it's not a shake. It's a frappe. New Englanders may be the only ones in the world who use these definitions, but considering that we eat more ice cream than anyone else in the world - more than the rest of the US combined - I think we've earned the right to decide!
- I'm afraid not...the milkshake contains, by definition, ice cream. It's the ice cream that made it different than the simple malted milk, when it was invented in 1922. Kaz 20:32, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
