Feeling Dirty

Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers recently opened a new location in Victorville. It's been busy every time I've passed by, which is more than you can say for several eateries in the High Desert.

Their menu is expansive. The offerings remind me of Foster's Freeze or Wienerschnitzel-Tastee Freeze. What stood out for me was their selection of frozen dessert treats.

How can you go wrong with something called "Dirt N' Worms"?

That's frozen custard with gummy worms and Oreo pieces, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Sweetness. They should have a contest, I say. Who can eat five of these the fastest?

Frozen Custard

This is one of those delectable foods that escaped notice til recently.

Frozen custard - looks and feels like soft serve, but in terms of fat and sugar content is richer than ice cream. It's thicker than frozen yogurt too. Made with egg yolks, so you know you're getting all that sweet cholesterol.

This picture is from my custard initiation, June 2010 at a place in San Jose whose name I can't remember. The chosen flavors where chocolate and vanilla, but the place sold a variety of other flavors as well. I figured it was safest to go with classic tastes.

For whatever reason there don't seem to be many custard houses in Southern California. I've noticed more of them in the Southwest (Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico). Whatever. It's not like this is the kind of thing you eat all the time anyway.

But it would be bomb if the machines at Hometown Buffet pumped out this stuff!
