Give eggnog a chance, you cowards!
Photo: bhofack2/Getty Images/iStockphoto It has recently come to my attention that some people don’t like eggnog. This information is news to me. I was under the impression that most people agree eggnog is a delicious seasonal treat to be consumed no more than once a year. I was wrong, though: Many, many mean blogs have confirmed that eggnog is a decidedly unpopular Christmas drink.
To which I ask, Why??? Too creamy? Too seasonal? Too perfect to pair with bourbon, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon? Upon further research, it looks as if people have a few main reasons for disliking the drink, none of which stand up to scrutiny. I have addressed them all below.Eggnog looks like mayonnaise. My roommate, who, it turns out, is an eggnog hater , likened eggnog to mayonnaise. I understand the yellowy, custardy resemblance, but eggnog is sweet and mayonnaise is not.
If you’re still skeptical, consider this: Even Gwyneth Paltrow, who has built an entire empire based on her own good taste, has advised her followers not to “nog it till you’ve tried it.”
