Shamrock Shake

[rpadula]

Anyone getting one today?

 

[woodstock]

Disgusting and wrong on so many levels.

 

[nddons]

Damned lactose intolerance. Oh well, Guinness is dairy free!

Have you had one?

 

[ScottM]

Have you had one?

I have and I agree with Elizabeth.

 

[steingar]

I'd be game were it not for the lactose intolerance thing. Not that it would stop me, but a green mint-flavored milkshake is not sufficient reward for the side effects.

 

[woodstock]

Have you had one?

I see no reason to even attempt to have mouthwash/toothpaste with a straw.

So you have no idea how it tastes.

So you have no idea how it tastes.

Considering the "yes" answer above was long before you posted, I guess you aren't getting one either.

I don't need to taste a mint shake. I don't even like normal shakes from McD's and mint would not be an improvement.

 

[EdFred]

I make my own...with creme de menthe!

ugh. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[EdFred]

I take it you dont like mint at all?

 

[ScottM]

Tastes like throw up.

I can't believe the food snobs don't like mint!!

 

[ScottM]

Real mint sure. But we have not used real mint in any form.

I love crushed mint and coriander in Indian dipping sauce, for instance.

So is a shamrock shake orange in Belfast???

How 'bout mint julep? (we're approching Derby Time)....

 

[timwinters]

Will one of you guys change your avatar!!!

I thought Scott was arguing with himself (again!).

Well, for all we know, Mickey D shakes may be dairy free as well.

Bringing back bad memories of a "mint julep" ordered at a bar on the riverfront in Savannah... they used creme de menthe. That really was flavor most foul.

Mint Juleps are NOT merely mojitos that use southern comfort. At least, this one wasn't.

That's just wrong. I'll bet that was foul. Blech.

Real mint juleps are made thusly: Link or Link

I much prefer the version in the first of those two links. But I'll also say that I only drink them once a year - they're too sweet for me the rest of the time.

You should have reported them!!!

Or was this a yankee tourist bar?

 

[jesse]

Bah. I haven't met a person that doesn't like a McD shamrock shake.

Yes you have. Two people, actually.

 

[kevin47881]

Never had one. Not enough insulin in ye 'ol pump.

Anything on the riverfront in Savannah is a tourist trap.

My wife took the girls out for one yesterday. They liked it.

Me -- I'll take chocolate, thank you very much.

 

[EdFred]

I had one this morning for breakfast.

 

[RickH]

No. I'm sticking with my Jameson.
