It's a Milkshake Extravagenza!

Now for the part of my blog that you’ve all been waiting for:

MY MILKSHAKE RECAP

With the exception of the Bahamas and Brazil, I’ve had at least one vanilla milkshake in each country. It’s now time for me to compare, contrast, and rate the flavor, texture, and overall quality of each milkshake. Read on!

PUERTO RICO
Place: a crappy drink stand that I found the first day we arrived.
Grade: A-
Comments: This milkshake, served at a small drink stand, tasted almost the same as a milkshake from the states. It was thick, yet was still manageable to suck through a straw. There was even a cherry placed on top of it (bonus points)!

BRAZIL
Everything was closed for Carnival. I’ll try next time.

SOUTH AFRICA:
Place(s): Steers restaurant, Frozen Yogurt stand, Dodge City diner/restaurant
Grades: B, C, C+
Comments: Even though the milkshake I consumed at the Steers restaurant pit stop on the way to my safari was small, it was still delicious.
On the last day in port I tried a vanilla shake at the frozen yogurt stand in the food court of the mall nearby, but it was pretty tasteless. Literally…no taste. The milkshake I consumed at the Dodge City diner was also very small, but the taste was somewhat unappealing. Very milky too…hardly any ice cream.

MAURITIUS
Place: An outside restaurant I visited with Kate and Jess (see post), and a food stand near the beach.
Grades: A-, C
Comments: The first milkshake was great. It was very milky (that’s how all of them have been so far…I’ve found no think milkshakes outside the US), and it was a decent quantity. The flavor was delicious and it worked perfectly with my small meal.
The milkshake on the beach was tasty, but it was so small that it literally took 30 seconds to drink the whole thing. As a whole though, milkshakes outside the US are MUCH smaller than the giant size shakes we drink here.

That’s my recap. Hopefully you haven't taken it too seriously. They don’t serve milkshakes on the ship, but I’ve talked to one of the ladies at the 7th counter, and she said that she’ll make me a shake one of these days when the line isn’t too long. Score!
