vanilla phosphates
When I was a kid, I used to get a truly wonderful soda fountain drink
called a vanilla phosphate. As far as I can tell, this beverage seems to have vanished from the face of the Earth. Does anyone know where they may still be had? |

Phosphates are what we called 'em in the Midwest. New Yorkers know them better as egg creams. -Stan |

An egg cream has has milk in it and is only made with chocolate syrup. A phosphate can be made with any flavor syrup - vanilla phosphate, cherry phosphate, strawberry phosphate, or or chocolate phosphate. Those were the flavors available at the sode fountain I used to frequent when I was young. You could make any flavor you wanted if you had the syrup. Pineapple would be yummy!

My experience in New York is that egg creams come in either chocolate or vanilla. In either case, the only acceptable syrup brand is "Fox's U-Bet". (And it's half-and-half, not milk. And seltzer.) |
