Egg cream
An egg cream is a beverage consisting of milk" and soda water as well as
vanilla or chocolate syru%" and is es%ecially associated with &rooklyn" home
of its alleged inventor" late ()th!century candy store owner =ouis Auster.
1ost modern versions of the drink contain neither eggs nor cream" although
earlier versions did include eggs.
,he egg cream is almost e+clusively a fountain drink. Although there have
been several attem%ts to bottle it" none has been wholly successful" as its
fresh taste and characteristic head reBuire mi+ing of the ingredients $ust
before drinking.
Origins
,he origin of the name #egg cream# is constantly debated. Cne theory was said that they used grade #A# milk
calling it a chocolate A cream thus sounding like 8egg8 cream. Stanley Auster" the grandson of the beverage8s
alleged inventor" has been Buoted as saying that the origins of the name are lost in time. Cne commonly
acce%ted origin is that #2gg# is a corru%tion of the ?erman (also found in Diddish) word echt (#genuine# or
#real#) and this was a #good cream#. 5t may also have been called an #2gg :ream# because in the late ()th
century" there were already many chocolate fountain3dessert drinks using actual eggs (e.g. 82gg &rin8)" and
Auster wanted to ca%itali9e on the name.
Author of the book 6i+ the 'um%s historical look at soda fountains" 0arcy S. C8eil claims that the #ew
Dork 2gg :ream# is a variation of the original milkshake served at soda fountains throughout America in the
late ()th century.
Around (EE5 the milkshake became a %o%ular item at soda fountains. Unlike today8s thick" ice cream like
consistency" the original milkshakes were made with sweet cream (sometimes fro9en as #ice cream#)" a whole
egg" flavored syru% and soda water. ,he egg" cream and syru% were shaken in a cocktail shaker until light and
frothy" then %oured into a glass where the soda water was added.
,he 2gg :ream was most likely a version created to kee% the %rice low" as most soda fountain items were sold
for 5 cents. As eggs and cream became more e+%ensive" and as a result of health concerns stemming from
using raw eggs in an uncooked %roduct" they would be removed (eggs) or re%laced (cream) with milk leading
to what we now know as a ew Dork 2gg :ream.
,he real inventor of what is known as the traditional egg cream (chocolate syru%" milk and selt9er) was
athan -erman and /ack Fitt (his brother in law) who founded -erman and Fitt crica ()(0. &oth were
residents of :rown -eights in &rooklyn. ,hey created a syru% com%any which su%%lied chocolate and other
syru%s to candy stores which had soda fountains. ,hey later sold the com%any to what became 6o+8s U!&et" an
early com%etitor ('er 0oris -erman =eonard" born ()7<" daughter of athan -erman).
According to athan (as related to and by his daughter 0oris)" around ()(0 sitting in a local deli in &rooklyn"
athan and /ack discussed how to build their syru% com%any. ,hey were determined to create a refreshing
drink at a low cost and called it #egg cream#" which contained neither eggs nor cream" since these were more
e+%ensive ingredients. ,hey %romoted this idea and it ra%idly became a fi+ture in candy sho%s and the most
%o%ular drink of thirsty ew Dorkers.
Another e+%lanation comes from re%orts that it grew out of a reBuest for #chocolat et crme# from someone
who had e+%erienced a similar drink in 'aris" which name mor%hed %honetically into the current version. Det
another %lausible answer is that the first version did" in fact" use egg and cream" but due to the food limitations
in FF55 they were dro%%ed from the reci%e. Cne work from (E5)" Domestic and rural affairs.: The family,
farm and gardens, and the domestic animals" does include a reci%e that consists of barely more than these two
ingredientsG
#2gg :reamG ,he yolks of three eggs" and a desserts%oonful of good new milk or cream" add two dro%s of oil
of cinnamon. ,his is a very good nourishing mi+ture. ,he oil of cinnamon is cordial and tonic" and the above
has been recommended in lung com%laints...#
A similar reci%e still was cited at the beginning of the 70th century" but had already dro%%ed the creamG
#2gg :reamG ,he yolks of * eggs" (37 %int of water" $uice of ( lemon" 7 o9. of sifted sugar" a little cinnamon.
&eat u% all the ingredients" %ut the mi+ture into a sauce%an over a shar% fire" and whisk it till Buite frothy"
taking care not to let it boilH fill into glasses and serve at once.#
Another from the same year (()(5) uses both ingredients" though the intent here seems to be to reinforce
whi%%ed egg whitesG
#2gg :reamG 7 tables%oons fresh cream" the white of ( egg. 'ut the white of egg on to a %late and beat to a
stiff froth with the flat of a knife. (A %alette knife is the best.) ,hen beat the cream into it. ,his makes a
nourishing dressing for either vegetable salad or fruitsalad. 2s%ecially suitable for invalids and %ersons of
weak digestion.#
&ecause a traditional egg cream relied u%on selt9er under high %ressure being delivered via a si%hon no99le
rather than %oured from a bottle" modern %re%aration has been slightly altered to %reserve the traditional layer
effect.
Variations
,he &rooklyn 2gg :ream consisted of chocolate syru% while the ew Dork 2gg :ream used vanilla syru%.
,he vanilla egg cream was offered for 5 cents in the ()50s and ()*0s at classic 1anhattan candy and
news%a%er sho%s in Dorkville and 2ast -arlem.
