A Cape Town diner wins Guinness World Record for most milkshake flavors

Guinness World Record for most milkshake flavors

Speaking of Guinness and milkshakes…years ago I was having lunch at a sandwich place in Minneapolis that was famous for having a huge, long menu, including a huge, long drinks menu, and I decided to try the Guinness Milkshake. I think it was just Guinness and vanilla ice cream, IIRC. I couldn’t quite imagine how it would taste, but I liked Guinness and I liked ice cream, so why not try it?

I found it to be awful, gag-inducing, couldn’t drink it. I wondered why they even had it on the menu, so I asked our waitperson if other people liked it, and they told me that they had never sold one before. I concluded that the restaurant was just trying to make the menu as long as they could, and that they didn’t actually expect anyone to order it.

However, looking online now, I’m seeing various recipes for Guinness milkshakes, so maybe someone somewhere likes them. Anyone here ever have one?
