How about the best milkshake?

I used to enjoy Arby's before they changed the mix. Jamocha, vanilla, strawberry! Mmmm... A few years ago, they were the best!
I find Harvey's to be too too sweet.

(I had the worst one yesterday in Delhi...but I won't say where!) Anybody have a favorite?

Believe it or not Fast Eddies are great!

This isn't bout milkshakes cking but I just have to tell you when you come on here you are like our momma on the forum. You're the peacemaker and you also like to get some neat topics going, and that's what moms do!

My all time favorite milkshake is chocolate from McDonald's. It has lots of chocolate flavor and is so thick you almost have to eat it with a spoon

anderpooh: Thanks for the kind comments. And yes, I DO have the Momma-genes. I'm Momma, Grandma....and my horoscope is Cancer! (The home is where the heart is.) I am now even "mothering" my own elderly mother!
We have gone full-circle!

And I AM going to try Fast Eddies! Thanks.

Arby's made a great Jamocha shake, but sadly they are gone now.

I find the shakes at Fast Eddies to be extremely thick and tasty.

I love the bananna shakes at Dairy Queen. Nothing like using real banannas to make your shake instead of bananna flavour.

cking I know exactly where you got your milkshake in Delhi .Aren't they terrible. You should try their hamburgers ...even worse. Its a shame because with its location it could be a gold mine !

I have to say fast eddie's also, Md's are good but too thick to suck....

when we were kids, we used to go to a small diner on Main Street in Port Rowan for milkshakes - 35 cents would buy you a shake in one of those tall tin cups, and pour out into two milkshake glasses. Maybe it's the rose-tinted glasses of childhood, but those milkshakes were always my favourite.

Does Hewitts on the #6 in Hagersville make milkshakes?

Andys corner outside langton has a decent vanilla shake, never liked them before but new owners have a new technique I guess. Wendys has that umm chocolate thingy I gues you could call it a shake in the summer as it melts in 1 minute, dairy queen samething.

Someone today mentioned Bogie's/Bogey's? on the Waterford Ponds road near the downtown end. A small place that has frozen yogourt with fresh seasonal fruit. She said it's delicious!

(I think we are ALL getting hungry! We'll jump up from our computers and go raid the fridge!)

I'm not much on milkshakes, but I do like McDonalds.

What is a milkshake?
The glop that comes out of a fast food freezer machine is not a milkshake.
At Hewitt's in Hagersville ,where they put ice cream,milk, and flavour in the familiar aluminium cup is a milk shake, and my favourite.
These are getting harder and harder to find. A lot of burger places stateside make the real shake.

I would agree with SC. The old time shakes are the best.

Fast Eddies makes a really good shake. Sometimes. I have had them there and they sucked.

I've actually been thinking about going to DQ for a chocolate shake for the last 2 weeks!! Best used to be at the Tartan and at the old Woolworth counter in Simcoe. Dover Dairy Bar used to make really good shakes too haven't been in awhile.

Bogey's does have great frozen yogurt as does Port Rowan. Where do you get a good banana shake with real bananas? like the Tastee Treat used to make?

Oh, I remember the Tastee Treat! I think that Bob and Cissy Peters had that at one time, didn't they?

I remember their hot fudge sundaes...and the best bran muffins I ever tasted in my life! That was a great place! In the location where there's a doctors' office now next to the Master Mechanic on Norfolk Street. (Used to be the VW garage? Didn't it?)

Someone painted this great mural on the inside wall with clowns and balloons and etc. My kids were little at that time and we really loved it there! (30 years ago?)

CKing, your memory is correct. The Peters had the business. I do not remember any muffins though but I do remember their hot fudge sundaes, they were great

Wasn't the Tastee Treat owned by the Palmerstons?

I remember going to the Tastee Treat. It WAS a real treat for our family. Usually we got the small cone for a nickel I believe, but I always wanted the Large! One day, my mother surprised me with the large cone, thinking that I wouldn't be able to eat it all. LOL She was way wrong! I loved every lick and remember it to this very day!
Did the Palmerstons own the Dairy Queen?

Same family. Bill Palmerston and Bob Peters are brothers.

Bill and Bob Palmerston (later Peters) owned the Tastee Treat jointly at one time. Somewhere along the line, Bob became Bob Peters (another story) and Bill bought out Bob and ran it himself for many years.

We have 6 girls and 3 boys, and I think every one of the girls worked there during their teen years. That would have been about 35 years ago. They had a burger called a Tastee Burger and it had lots of meats and condiments on it ... and it was great! As our first 5 were girls, Bill had a steady stream of Bint girls working for him for a lot of years. Our girls were all close in age, and when one left, another one started.

The Tastee Treat was a very popular place, and was almost out in the country in those days. Interesting memories!

While your here Howard can you give us a little history on the plaza and rollerdrome.

Wow... what a trip down memory lane! I remember way back when... when they were first building that plaza Rick... used to walk from Evergreen Hill Road, the way a kid walks... cutting through what used to be swamp on Cherry street... across either White's or McKen's yard... then zig zag up the hill... through the woods... sit on what was a water pumping station I believe... then down... and zig zag through the mud while they were building, and onto West Lynn Public School.

The bowling alley was the place to hang out back then.... then the Roller drome was built. Spent many good times there too. Remember the excitement at seeing it go up more each day, even though they did cut out part of "our" hill to make room for it.

I worked for Bill Palmerston when he had the original Tastee Treat... where it is paved for parking now, on the lot of what now is Master Mechanic. Back then, it was a gas station.. the kind that was full service.. my parents only bought gas at that one place.. likely since it was so close to home. The "new" location for the Tastee Treat... was once a large duplex... the Ways lived there when I was a kid, and I was sad to see that torn down after they moved away.

The best food item the old Tastee Treat used to make, was the Bacon Burgs... oh how I loved them!

The funniest memory I still have of working there... was walking into work one morning, to find that some home made banana wine, that Bob and Bill had been trying to make... had exploded overnight.. covering the whole back room! That was one heck of a mess, but I could not stop laughing.

That original plaza held a small grocery store (the name escapes me now), and the hardware store, and the health unit. All was lost when that burned down. They rebuilt of course, but it was never the same. Ahhhhh... sweet memories of youth.
