The Rage of the Eggnog Purist
More fuel for the holiday small-talk fire: A Brief History of Eggnog, a mini history lesson from Time magazine that includes the phrase “Eggnog purists argue that those who don’t like the Yuletide drink have simply never tasted the real thing.” (!) (An issue of yolks.) Plus: George Washington’s own personal eggnog recipe (four kinds of booze; “taste frequently”) is also on there. (And here’s William Faulkner’s preferred method of making hot toddies.) We’re almost there. Related: Eggless Nogs, Why Not.
