My little bro's basically addicted.
I get excited every year, and I buy some. And then I'm not feeling it, y'know, so I leave it in the fridge thinking I can come back to it. Have that like, 1/4 cup to satisfy me. Then I go back for it one day when the craving is there, and he's done it. The whole thing is gone. Solo.
I am impressed every time.
I used to add some milk to my eggnog to thin it out. My Mom used to get mad at me for wiping it out in like a day, so that was my solution for it, lol.
Once in awhile I'll have a taste for it, but it's pretty expensive if you get the good stuff, and it's a little too rich and sweet for me to want more than once in a blue moon around the holiday.
I see a lot of people haven't tried it. I would describe egg nog as like extra sweetened milk with a much more creamy texture. Very sweet and just a tad savory. Once in a while it can be quite satisfying.
I do recommend if you're going to have it at all buy something top end in your area. Where I lived it was Oberweis.
I tried it for the first time a few days ago. I didn't have an entire cup, just a shot glass full of it and I think that was enough for me. It was okay but I don't think I'll make drinking it a part of winter habits.
hate hate hate eggnog; i haven't liked it since I was like 5. it's too sweet and rich, makes me wanna vomit :x. perhaps homemade wouldn't be as bad, though.
