Should Eggnog Be Banned In Idaho?

There are some Christmas traditions that are infallible:

A perfectly-decorated Christmas tree
Garland literally everywhere
Lights on the house

That being said, are all Christmas traditions we enjoy as Idahoans really...necessary?

Should eggnog be banned in Idaho?

Now, we're not all-aboard the cancel train. We very much enjoy others enjoying whatever brings them joy and pleasure. Except when it's gross.

And eggnog is very, very gross.

Does it taste good? Possibly. Some people believe so.

But is the texture acceptable? Absolutely not. You can barely swallow it.

As a matter of fact, do you happen to know anyone who actually enjoys eggnog? No, no you do not. You do not enjoy it. No one in your family enjoys it. Now that you think about it, you haven't even seen eggnog in person in quite sometime.

Why? Because nobody likes it, and nobody drinks it.

Should eggnog be banned in Idaho for being kinda grody? Yes. Yes it should.

Ok ok, fine. We'll accept the fact that you have decided to tolerate eggnog. That's fine. What you may not know is that there are a plethora of uses for eggnog that aren't just drinking it straight from the bowl out of a moose cup.

Who knew?

Challenge: 10 Tempting Holiday Uses For Eggnog

The first time I tried eggnog, it was spiked, and I found myself literally enjoying a cup of holiday cheer. That said, eggnog doesn't have to be spiked to be enjoyed. It doesn't have to be homemade or poured from a carton and drunk. It can be used as a wet ingredient, replacing milk and spicing up any holiday menu, especially for sweet treats and breakfast.
