Root Beer Egg Creme Soda

Retro Feast!

Last Thursday, I really went through some serious withdrawals, due to my lack of eating food from a Jewish Deli!  I wanted a great sandwich with great potato salad and most of all, I wanted pickles, beautiful, tasty, Kosher pickles.

Now for the dilemma, I live in Las Vegas! Not only do I live in Las Vegas, I just moved here, and didn't have a clue about where to find a Jewish Deli. And that's what Facebook friends are for!

I posted a call to action, for a Jewish Deli in the Desert! All my foodie friends responded with a quickness, and that led me to Greenberg's Deli, inside the New York, New York Hotel.

By Friday night, I was eating on loads and loads of juicy pieces of pastrami. And let's not forget about the pickles...I ate five pickles and no, I am not ashamed! 

Then I ate loads of potato salad, I am not sure what's in Greenberg's Deli potato salad, but I ate my potato salad and Big Goo's.

And this leads me to my craving for today. I was so into eating all those pickles and pastrami, I forgot to order my egg creme soda!

I started with Fox's U-bet Chocolate syrup, yep...got to keep with tradition. Pour the syrup in a glass, I added about 3 tablespoons, I was cutting back after all that pastrami over the weekend.

Next, I added about 1/2 cup of milk and then I added about 6 ounces of root beer soda. Traditionally, seltzer water is used, I didn't have any, and who doesn't love root beer.

Now, stir, stir, stir....Top with some Truwhip, whipped creme topping and it's time to drink up!

I sure wish I had another pastrami sandwich, with loads of pickles and some of that potato salad to eat while drinking my egg creme. Instead, all I have is memories...until the next time!
