But did we only have custard when I was little and somehow it morphed into soft-serve, or were we just calling it the wrong thing? Although some of the places were "custard stands". In fact I am pretty sure there was one called "Custard's Last Stand."
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

To me, custard and soft-serve to two different animals. Dairy Queen is soft serve, but places like Sheridan's are specifically custard.
Doesn't custard have eggs?
what looks like killer packing tape
I can see this happening. Packing tape is pernicious, and those little rolly things you use to apply it have very sharp edges. I have a lot of packing tape in a closet -- maybe I'll shove something large in front of the door tonight.

I think, technically, custard has egg in it, but my Dad called all soft serve custard.

Frozen custard is mostly found in the Midwest and is made with more eggs and less cream. I love it. One lone frozen custard franchise made its way here a couple of years ago. Soft-serve is sold by places like Dairy Queen.

I've decided I need more long weekends. All I'm really doing today is reading and cooking. Because I had two whole other days for hiking, laundry, errands, etc.

Now I want to find a place that still serves custard.

I have friends who LURRVE frozen custard. It's good, but I am not wooo-crazy about it. I prefer Dairy Queen, if for nothing else, the nostalgia factor.
Ah, the days when Peanut Buster Parfaits came in a huge plastic tulip-cup. (Although I have found you can have them sub pecans for peanuts for about 50 cents. I like pecans much better than peanuts.)
