[edit] Eggnog "rarely served hot"
I'm removing that- its POV. I've never had cold Eggnog once in my life (it sounds revolting to me). I'm sure plenty of people do drink it cold, but it hardly qualifies for a "rarely". Patch86 17:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Eggnog
I don't think eggnog should redirect here, I think it should have it's own article. Hou Shuang 15:42, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I too thought that eggnog should have its own page. I was surprised to be redirected to "posset," since I'd never heard of that drink, and the initial description seemed entirely different from the cold, sweet and spicy holiday drink that I was looking for. Nevertheless, it does seem as if eggnog is a derivative of this medieval drink, and might be considered a subcategory of posset. Also, as long as the amount of information on Wikipedia about posset and eggnog is so small, two separate articles might not be justified. Rohirok 13:58, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Horchata
I noticed someone added a link to horchata to the end of the article. I see some similarities between posset and horchata, and there is a possible link between the use of grain in both drinks. Nonalchoholic eggnog and horchata are also very similar, since both are cold, milky beverages with sugar and cinnamon. An eggnog recipe without the eggs will taste very similar to horchata, though the nog will lack rice milk and almonds. I wonder if anyone can make a historical link between posset and horchata.
