Xmas = Eggnog
Eggnog (see wikipedia article here) is a mysterious yellow substance drunk by North Americans during the Christmas festivities. To the best of my knowledge, we don’t get it back down under.. and by get it, I mean we don’t understand it nor do we have the ability to purchase it.
For those who know me well enough, I don’t like eggs… at all. I don’t eat eggs so I sure as hell don’t want to drink them. But, in the spirit & tradition of travel, it was time to try something new, so I poured a shot:
First of all, I was surprised at the colour. The photo doesn’t really do it justice, but its basically the color of custard. It even has the consistency of a more liquid custard. But most surprisingly, it kind of tastes like custard. Being that its a dairy product made from similar ingredients, I can see the resemblance.
I didn’t feel like more than what I poured… and I can’t say I loved it… but it wasn’t half bad.
