That... is so much worse than what I've done.
I love mushroom soup. I love eggnog. One time making mushroom soup I was out of milk, so I thought to myself 'why not substitute eggnog?'
That combo created such an unholy liquid that's it's probably a staple food in hell that even the demons wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole if they were starved for a month. It was too foul for even the garbage so I had to dump it in the toilet and flush it three times to make sure it was gone.
Did you leave an angry comment on the recipe? Can you post a screenshot of it here?
Lol no, I did that back in the late 90's when I was a little bit dumber than I am now.
Oh boy, I tried substituting almond milk for milk in some cream sauce recipe back in my vegan days, except I forgot it was vanilla flavored and ho boy, it was very bad.
haha. I made vanilla Mac and cheese once the same way
Tbh, I don't mind vanilla soy milk Mac and cheese. My partner hates it, so I use powdered milk when cooking for both of us. (Neither of us uses enough cow milk to keep it fresh on hand)
Was it... already spiked?
Thankfully no. I needed the alcohol afterwards to wash that taste out of my mouth.
