I wanna know. Eggnog, which is only good for adding liquor, is fucking disgusting. I will engage in good faith arguments for why there is eggnog ice cream, but there is a reason this was in the discount end cap section, so you got an uphill battle already.

    If egg nog ice cream was available all year long it would be my go to. To get the fix I drink horchata a lot which is basically the flavor of egg nog without the bloated feeling that stems from the massive calories in egg nog. However, I have never found an horchata ice cream I like it is usually very icy due to a high moisture content from something added by the manufacturer I am weird with my food I love the simplest version of most foods. A dry steak with no sides, cheese pizza, and I only put pickles and cheese on my burgers. I find that adding stuff like chunks and caramel pull away from what makes ice cream so great to me. But I also love the concept of throwing all the bits you can to make something special if that's what people like.

      Goddamn that is such a good comparison to horchata, never thought about it like that, I see what you mean. Do you ever add anything extra to your eggnog ice cream?

          You got it figured out, damn. Glad to have met a eggnog ice cream eater, i was convinced it has been a ploy to get people to buy an ice cream only because it's seasonal and a market fear of missing out in a sense.

            It is a ploy like all commodities in our society but theres just something so perfect about cinnamon and nutmeg coming together in a tasty beverage. I want to make some coquito when my cuban rum gets delivered.

              Nutmeg use to be a staple spice for early :amerikkka: colonizers and settlers but somehow it phased out with the future generations and it's a bit interesting how it's not found in almost anything anymore but we have a tradition of now consuming it once a year.

                It improves almost every savory recipe or beef dish as well as desserts. I love that damn Townsends 18th century cooking show despite being aware of the culture that gave rise to those recipes.
