Whose home are they using?
Sorry to interrupt the existential discussion regarding a US fast food item, which I personally find very easy to ignore.
Bringing the thread back on topic, I must admit that my first thought reading a menu item defined as "home made" is that it should be just that. Whose home? - the CSD's is my first bet
The kitchen of the caterer's Italian mother?
If we are to read it as "not an industrial product" the semantics falls to the ground.
One of two items mentioned in OP are really very easy to make in a small kitchen, alas not in the galley of an aircraft.
Do try this at home
