Introduction: Chick-Fil-A Banana Pudding Milkshake: a Haiku

By

Nasty politics
taints all their delicious food;
no more Chick-Fil-A.

Banana pudding
so sublime are these milkshakes...
Cannot go without.

Sweet and so complex
it turns out to fake one is
really quite easy.

Step 1: Ingredients

To replicate this,
you need five ingredients.
bananas, ice cream.

Nilla wafers, too:
milk and instant pudding mix.
Whipped cream optional.

Why not sweet cherries?
I can't stand the things. Also,
wife likes them too much.

Step 2: Make the Pudding

Follow instructions,
the box will not lead you wrong.
Don't forget to whisk.

Step 3: Add Ingredients to Blender.

Two bananas in,
followed by half the pudding.
Or more - I won't tell.

Add the ice cream now.
Two generous scoops should do.
Don't be too stingy.

Nilla wafers last,
we put in about fifteen.
Whipped cream sounds awesome.

Step 4: Blend

Blend the mixture well,
Not too well. Texture is key.
Time flows like river.

Step 5: Top With Whipped Cream (optional)

Whip yourself some cream:
a fatty cloud on your shake.
(awful metaphor)

Tradition dictates
one maraschino cherry;
blueberries = better.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Doesn't taste quite right...
Bananas should be riper.
That would be perfect.

Tough reviewer says,
milkshake is quite delicious.
Sugar before bed.
