British Verdict on American Eggnog | #shorts

Here's a one minute primer on the history of eggnog and my verdict on it.

Brits : you Americans use funny words and drink strange things
Americans : we are your forgotten past

In Canadian French, eggnog is “lait de poule”….chicken milk. This is in fact why it is only out at Christmas, as it takes that long to milk the chickens in adequate supply.

After listening to Laurence all these years, I’ve come to realize that half the things we think are American, are really British things that got lost on this side of the pond.🐝🤗❤️

“How many has he had?”
“None, that’s the first one! He hadn’t touched IT yet. He just likes to hold it.”

Good to hear from Laurence of Christmas Past.

I love non-alcoholic eggnog. Cold with a touch of cinnamon. Delicious

I know this isn’t the point, but I’m proud of you for remaining abstinent from alcohol and sugar. I’m saying that from a self-control standpoint, not to bash alcohol or sugar consumers. It takes a lot of willpower, and you’re a great example. Thank you.

Dude, your creative flair has really been on display lately. Your stylistic voice and character has been so confident. It's really showing. Good on you!

Egg nog is good stuff. Home made egg nog is life changing (Dylan Hollis does a recipe from the 1890s that he says "ruins all other egg nog" and IIRC it looked incredibly easy).

I love that the glass is close to the camera and in focus, while Laurence is far back and blurry, it's as if Laurence is interrogating it!

In Shetland, which is deeply influenced by its Scandinavian heritage, people enjoyed a drink known as Whipkull which was a drink of ancient lineage served at the end of a breakfast Yule feast. It was made of a dozen egg yolks, a pound of sugar, a half pint of rum and a quart of fresh cream with shortbread served on the side.

Thank you 2018 Laurence for validating my love of eggnog

[cjhansen]

It doesn't surprise me that eggnog originated in England.
I love Eggnog it's one of my favorite holiday drinks.

[SeahawksFTW]

Twice in a row "Thanks Past Laurence" just killed me. This is one of my new fav channels 😂

[UppityOne]

I live for this time of year. Bring on the Egg Nog!

[drewzero]

Way to go Past Lawrence for taking one for the team... you oughta pay that guy more!

*eggnog is also very good when substituted for water when producing pancakes of waffle like structures to be consumed during breakfast*

[danielmurphree]

You somehow keep answering all of my wondering thoughts over my 35 years of life. Thanks PondGuy

I love egg nog. Here in Canada it is a Christmas staple and is available at most grocery stores at this time of year. Mix it with spiced rum for best results.
