For years I have been making the classic New York drink called an Egg Cream. I could never figure out why it was calld an egg cream since it contained no eggs. It is a pleasant drink, light and thin like an ice cream soda, and flavorful. I decide one night to experiment and I put a stirred raw egg into the bottom of the glass in which I was about to make that night’s egg cream. The change was magical. It suddenly became as thick and flavorful as a
thick black and white milkshake
INGREDIENTS
- 1 raw stirred egg
- 3 table spoons chocolate syrup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cup fresh seltzer

egg cream is not supposed to have eggs in it
First: sacrilege.
One "stirred" egg? Methinks it should be at least well beaten.
I don't think people are so into eating raw eggs anymore.
