Calling soft ice cream custard is one of my many bad habits - my family always used 'frozen custard' interchangeably with 'soft serve'. The local ice cream place where I grew up was named The Custard Stand, even though they didn't serve frozen custard at all, but rather soft serve. Having recently sampled actual frozen custard (yes, with eggs and milk) at another local place trying to make a name for itself, it is rich beyond imagining and only to be enjoyed by the health conscious in small amounts. I had a little on a spoon (followed by about 50 more servings of a little on a spoon). Graham, correct you are.
