I never had an egg cream. What’s it like?
It's little more than chocolate or vanilla syrup and seltzer water. Like an ice cream soda w/o the ice cream.
  When I was growing up on "Lawn Island" in the 50s/60s, I was a soda jerk for a couple of years and made them every day.

Yeah. That was fascinating to me. No egg, no cream m

The recipe I found said the syrup had to be u-bet chocolate syrup, which as available in the supermarket kosher section.

What did you like better, milk shake or egg cream?
