Eat a New Type of Food Every Month: Egg Cream

Completing: Eat a New Food Type Every Month

A drink created by Eastern European Jewish immigrants in New York, this beverage has neither eggs nor cream. It consists of milk, seltzer, and chocolate syrup — ingredients I’ve obviously had separately — I am an American after all.

Every year around this time, my family goes to Celebrity Delly, a wonderful eatery outside of DC. I perused their menu to see if there were any unique items I could consume to get in my 11th new food type. I saw Egg Cream and did some research. That was it. Ta-da. Amen. Yum. One more new food to go.
