Thanks to NYU's Greg Downing for pointing out that NYU now has the WASHINGTON POST on a trial basis, so I can look at that again.

BUTTERMILK PIE, POCAHONTAS PUDDING, WHITE MONKEY

   I knew the WASHINGTON POST would be better on "buttermilk pie" than the NEW YORK TIMES.  I also found a "white monkey" with "Pocahontas."

("One of the most amusing ideas suggested was 'White Monkey,' which, despite its jungle name, was a mild and gentle dish of eggs poached in milk, then combined with cheese and hot toast.")

MILK SHAKE

   I had posted the first of the below recently.  The 1886 cite I found the old way and posted in the old ADS-L archives, but I'll re-post it for convenience.

(_From the Atlanta Constitution_.
   You get it at the soda fountains.  The mixer of cooling beverages pours out a glass of sweet milk, puts in a big spoonful of crushed ice, puts in a mixture of unknown ingredients, draws a bit of any desired sirup, shakes milk in a tin can, like a barkeeper mixes lemonade, sprinkles a little nutmeg on the foaming milk until it looks something like a Tom and Jerry, sits it out for you and you pay five cents.  "Milk shake" is an Atlanta drink.  Atlanta is nothing of not original.)

ICE CREAM SCOOPER

   I checked for "scooper."  "Ice cream scoop" is earlier, but I wanted to avoid a scoop of ice cream.
