At the risk of over-posting, I was inspired to start another couple sets of weekly installments. You can tell me if it's working or not, and I can see how long I can keep it up. These will, of course, correspond with some of my favorite topics.
I thought it'd be nice to dedicate one day of the week to sharing some kind of slightly oddball food item, one that you might not have heard of or might not have thought of in a while. This week: frozen custard.
According to our dear reference Wikipedia, it is "a cold dessert similar to ice cream, made with eggs in addition to cream and sugar. It typically contains 10% butterfat and 1.4% egg yolk." It's a delicacy apparently widespread in the Midwest and East Coast, and all but non-existent anywhere west/south of the Rockies. A coworker friend of mine just encountered it during her weekend trip to Chicago, and came back raving about it. I have never had it, but I'd love to try. How can you ever go wrong with eggs and milk?
