From Quiz Cooking Up a Culinary Quiz
Answer:
more than three
A milkshake is a sweet drink which combines milk, ice cream, and flavourants such as chocolate syrup, fruit syrup or puree, dessert sauces such as caramel or butterscotch, peanut butter, root beer extract, and many others. The milkshake probably originated in the United States in the late 19th century. Names for the drink vary. To distinguish it from thin flavoured milk, it is sometimes called a thick shake. In New England and Eastern Canada, it may be called a frappe. People in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire may call them cabinets. If malt powder is added, the result may be called a malt. If a raw egg is added, it may be called an eggshake. The name "concrete" refers to its thickness and the term "velvet" refers to its smoothness.
The author of a culinary quiz must be careful not to use a single word as if it were the only word for a dish, when there may be many.
