Once I made the discovery that Greg never had eggnog, I knew I had to take advantage of this opportunity. What a perfect time to taste it live on the air. I made sure he was good and ready. He knew the history, the flavor choices, etc.
Here Greg is about to taste his very first sip of eggnog (non-alcoholic) live on the air.
A big thank you to Greg for being a good sport over the whole thing and for giving me a hearty laugh and a great photo op. I’ll need to come up with other live food and drink taste testings for him :).
We did learn that Jody, our dog, had no problem finishing off Greg’s unwanted beverage.
I make the same face. If I want to drink a dairy product, milk will do just fine, thank you!!
You DON’T LIKE EGGNOG?????!!!! Wow!!! To me that’s like not liking ice cream or…or…eggnog! Its only the most wonderful stuff since chocolate milk! I used to drink GALLONS of the stuff as a kid, Mom couldn’t keep the frig stocked fast enough…
Hmmm… You don’t like eggnog? I was under the understanding that EVERYBODY likes eggnog! Anyway, you’re better off without it. High fat content. Not good for you. That’s probably exactly why I DO like it! 😉
I agree with most of what Mickey said. Eggnog is a whole lot better tasting than chocolate milk. Eggnog was a seasonal beverage around my house as a kid but it was always eagerly greeted!
I can remember 2 times I’ve grimaced like Greg when tasting something containing protein. The first time I was a preteen who had just been served oyster stew for the first time. I made the mistake of chewing an oyster releasing a vile liquid from the oyster’s body. The other time, I started scrambling the last eggs I had in my apartment and poured about 3 tablespoons of pepper into the eggs by accident. It’s easy to make cooking mistakes when you’re as tired and hungry as I was then. Since I was so hungry, I took one bite of the over-peppered eggs. This was the only time I couldn’t finish my own cooking!
I don’t think you could get Greg to try over-peppered scrambled eggs but what do you think about oyster stew?
LOL! Imagine: there are folks who feel this way about… beer! ;-0
@BarbaraKB – Noooooooooooooooooo!!!! That’s impossible!!!!!
aww egg nog is bad for dogs 🙁
@Cassie –
Um. Oops.
Duly noted (and for the record, she didn’t really finish the whole cup. But she WANTED to!)
What in the world is wrong with you! I look forward to the holiday season just so I can have a glass of eggnog every night. Boy will I have to diet soon.
That was my reaction the first time I tried it in high school. My taste buds have since changed and I really enjoy a good cup of Egg Nog with a shot of Kahlua. If the Nog is too thick try the low fat version. Tasty 🙂
I LOVE eggnog, it’s great stuff! Especially with a nice Irish whiskey in it!
