Hot alcoholic beverages. All of them. At best, they’re so-so. At worst, revolting.

Sangria.

Vodka

Yeah. Even the pastry is bland imo.

A good Tom & Jerry (no marshmallows) is wonderful thing. Everything else, I agree.

People actually talk about vodka?

The ones I've had were plain, or maybe lightly salted? You dip them in hot chocolate, and were great. However I've seen them in the UK sold as (basically) doughnuts, and I think they were dunked in sugar. Bleurgh.

As a Spanish I can only talk about fresh Spanish churros, done and served inmediately. Normally you put a rather small amount of sugar on top.

NOT. CRAP. EVER.

The Shawshank Redemption. Ghostbusters. Aliens. Christopher Nolan.

Seconding. I loath hot booze at the best of times, and mulled wine tastes like shit. But one deep frozen winter in Berlin at a Christmas market back in early 2010 and I swear it was the nectar of the gods.

I have really fond memories of the Christmas markets in Prague, but I only tried the spiced wine once. It was enough for me to know.
