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.

Soft Serve: [link] Soft serve was invented by Margaret Thatcher! (Okay, well, she was on the research team.)
Lamb dish number 2 is on the stove.
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.)
but my Dad called all soft serve custard.
Yes, I am pretty sure my mom and grandparents did, too. But we had a lot of custrad stands, the more I think about it. Abbot's frozen custard (http://www.abbottscustard.com/) is our main ice cream franchise, so I would assume that ice cream is custard, but the stuff at Baskin Robbins is soft serve?
I was the weird child because I did not like cones, and always wanted/want my ice cream in a dish. I especially hated the cones at home because my mom could never get any ice cream inside the cone, so you just had all this...cone... to eat.
Baskin Robbins is soft serve?
No. If it comes in a tub, it's ice cream. If it's dispensed from a machine, it's soft serve.
Soft serve just doesn't taste like ice cream to me. It's more like a slightly more solid McDonald's milkshake.
Crap. Now I want ice cream.
No. If it comes in a tub, it's ice cream. If it's dispensed from a machine, it's soft serve.
Oh- I meant the soft stuff from the machines at Baskin-Robbins that have vanilla, chocolate and twist, not the tubs in front. That could be soft-serve or custard, right? But is probably soft serve.
I want ice cream, too, and I hardlyh ever eat it. The original Abbot's is about a 15 minute walk from my house...
Of course Mister Softee just drove down my street! But I did not run out after him.
