I am a born and raised new englander and didn't know the difference. I had to look up Awful Awful...had no idea what it was. Maybe I am just not a good new englander... And as far as I'm concerned, a cabinet are the things in my kitchen/bathroom where I store stuff! my biggest new englandism is in my pronunciation of aunt. I don't pronounce it "ant". I don't say "ant" either. I'd have to think about my biggest New Englandism. I call sweetened fizzy drinks "tonic" but that's a Boston thing, not a whole New England one.

So what is a milkshake made from if not ice cream? My boss is from Quincy, I will have to investigate this once he gets here.

From Wiki: A milkshake is a sweet, cold beverage which is usually made from milk, ice cream or iced milk, and flavorings or sweeteners such as fruit syrup or chocolate sauce. Outside the United States, the drink is sometimes called a thickshake or a thick milkshake or in New England, a frappe, to differentiate it from other less-viscous forms of flavored milk. Full-service restaurants, soda fountains, and diners usually prepare and mix the shake "by hand" from scoops of ice cream and milk in a blender or drink mixer using a stainless steel cup. Many fast food outlets do not make shakes by hand with ice cream. Instead, they make shakes in automatic milkshake machines which freeze and serve a premade milkshake mixture consisting of milk, a sweetened flavoring agent, and a thickening agent. However, some fast food outlets still follow the traditional method, and some serve milkshakes which are prepared by blending soft-serve ice cream (or ice milk) with flavoring or syrups. A milkshake can also be made by adding powder into fresh milk, and stirring the powder into the milk. Milkshakes made in this way can come in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, strawberry and banana.So everybody is right!

When guys from our Boston office visit I don't even have to see them to know who it is. And of course I can hear them halfway across the office lol.

I love coffee!!! I can't even imagine how much of a nightmare I would be if I stopped drinking it. I'm barely tolerable as is. I'm not a coffee snob though - I buy Chock Full of Nuts at home, or Cafe Bustelo if I want it strong. Once in a while I do splurge on some Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. My sweetie only drinks coffee if we go camping and it has been percolated. And a milkshake is milk and ice cream, period. A frappe is a frozen coffee beverage.

a frappe has ice cream and a milkshake does not. it can have other thickeners added, but no ice cream. @monkeyunderpants - if I really wanted to confuse people, I'd ask how your cabinet or Awful Awful was. Thank you for the explanation! I have been trying to get someone to tell me what the difference is for months now, but the only answer they give is "well a milkshake everywhere else is called a frappe here and milkshake is just a milkshake." Whatever that's supposed to mean. What would the "other thickener" be? Like syrup or something? Would milk + nestle quick= "milkshake" in NE? I'm trying to figure all of this out bc my DH's family is all from NE and I have no idea what they're talking about when we get around to desserts. The whole frappe thing is confusing as hell too- bc to them it's pronounced "frap" and DH insists every time the McD's commercial for frappes ("frapp-ays") comes on that they're pronouncing it all wrong and doesn't get that it's made with coffee and is therefore different. This is obviously an issue in my life, and I don't even know why- I'm lactose intolerant and can't have any of it anyway!!!!!!!

I was always a frappe fan, but I think they use a little heavy whipping cream and ice. I've seen some places use an egg. syrups are for flavored shakes. and those McD's things....most of us around here just shook our heads that they would bother marketing that in this area.

I drink it, a little with my cream and sugar. And I do mean cream. No half & half, no milk, no flavored crap. I limit it to one cup a day though. And enjoy every calorie of it.

From Wiki: There, the ice cream people are correct in New England, the coffee people are correct in the rest of the US. Stop being reasonable....the rest of the US can't possibly be right:-p

I received this link to a youtube video in an email last night. I thought some of you might enjoy it after the conversation about coffee.
