Was watching the Good Place tonight and saw a shop in the town called Custards Last Flan, and thought of this thread
Egg nog is a drink and custard is a food. Really good when you mix 'em together (if you like both things to begin with): https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/155027/eggnog-custard/
Might as well drop this in here... For those that think eggnog is bad, have some Pilk. Seriously, WTF? This is a joke right?
One of my best friends used to mix Dr. Pepper and milk when we were kids. I never tried it, but he loved it. Of course I went over to the same guy's house when we were both in our mid 30s, and he proceeded to try to talk me into drinking Boone's Farm with him talking about how great it was, better than he remembered.
I like boiled custard vs egg nog. I drink my bourbon neat or on the rocks. I had a Sarge that would mix Scotch with milk. During my overseas military days, we would mix Bali Hai and Schiltz beer (50/50). Called them Super Beer. It only worked with Schiltz for some reason. Other beers it tasted like crap. We were young, poor grunts. It worked.
For me it depends on how good the bourbon is. I love both nog and bourbon, but I’m not putting the good shit in my nog.
Yeah, my Dad always had a bottle of "for mixing only" bourbon. He drank Single Malts. If you wanted good bourbon, you needed to BYOB most times.. Since my grandparents drank Old Crow over ice <shudder> we'd us that for the nog and/or boiled custard.
