Also This may have been a Mass. only thing like grinders vs subs but once in a while i would ask for a chocolate milk shake and they would always ask if i knew what i was asking for. I am sure thsy don't use that term up there anymore. Frappes vs. Milkshakes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know the difference between frappes and milkshakes? In my home region (coastal Massachusetts) the distinction is important, because frappes contain ice cream but milkshakes are only milk plus flavoring, blended together. But people I meet from other places claim that milkshakes do contain ice cream, and the two words are synonyms. Can anyone say anything authoritative about this? -

It is nothing more than milk, with chocolate syrup, fizzed up with seltzer water. I have never had one but hearing New Yorkers rave about them will make you want to fly up there just to taste it. Based on the ingredients and the recipe it does not sound like all that.
As for the Grinder, I had heard the term but I had to think about it a moment. I still haven't researched how the name came to be. It will drive me nuts until I do.
On the milk shake, I assume you mean milk shaken with some kind of flavoring. Surely you don't mean just shaken milk. That would be too bizarre
Here is a link that i found i swear it use to be true, back in the the dark ages.

Nope actually in the 70's in a lot of the small New England Towns in Mass. a chocolate milk shake was just that, no ice cream. With ice cream it was called a Frappe. But that was back in the dark ages. -

Ok, can't believe nobody is here from Mass. back in the old days, guess i can believe it now with all you young un's on here.
In the old days in Mass. a Grinder is wht most of us know as a Sub. Also if you went into a place and ordered a Milk Shake that is what you got, shaken milk which was actually on the menu, if you wanted a southern version of a milk shake aka with ice cream you asked for a Frappe.
