Ghost Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Just now, Tim K said: First, this is a Boston distinction between a milk shake and frappe. As the son and grandson of pharmacists who had stores with soda fountains, a frappe had ice cream and sauce/syrup, a milk shake just the sauce/syrup. I think this is how Brigham's distinguished the two as I believe Bailey's did. Friendley's has a thick frappe they called a Fribble which had ice cream and their milk shakes at one time used ice milk (remember that disgusting product) in place of ice cream along with syrup. Newport Creamery called their frappes Awful Awful's. Man, you sure are the connoisseur of these treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a handful left - and I don't think too many more Friendly's either. Sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E3D Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 last time I was in Friendly's was 2005 when I lived in North Andover. I was living in the Den Rock Park apartments across Wintrop ave. Not far from the show site! I wish I still lived there. Dammmmmm HOT where I'm at now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few old Ice cream stands around my area they make home made ice cream which is very good. If you want a big cup ice cream Kimbles over near the old Fort Devens. Go on a Friday night they have all the old cars there from 50;/60's/70's etc. Good food as well. Edited July 18, 2017 by emc2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
