Well, I've served it prepared this way, but used either dark rum, blended
whiskey, or bourbon, which makes a dish using white wine or ale seem effete by
comparison. We sometimes sprinkled nutmeg on it, I've seen it with ground
cloves and cinnamon, but that was a foreigner from the next settlement. Helps
a lot to have a well trained cow, those used only to milkers will inevitable
kick the bowl over.
