what is egg nog anyway?


do special cows and chickens get it to taste that way?


I wonder if they sell it in let's say the middle of July...













Is there anyone who never tried it or maybe even might be allergic to it?

We drink eggnog non-stop during this time of the year. I love it. They only sell it around the holidays though.

We don't have egg nog here in Australia. It's too hot here for that.....we just drink

I personally like non-alcholic eggnog better.....rum and dairy isn't my cup of tea.

Here's a recipe for it.

Eggnog
Yields: 1 gallon

Ingredients:

* 12 egg yolks
* 1 lb. confectioner's sugar
* 2 c. dark rum, brandy, bourbon, or rye
* 2 to 4 cups of liquor
* 2 quarts whipping cream
* 1 cup peach brandy, if desired
* 8 to 12 egg whites

Step One Preparation
Beat separately until light in color. 12 egg yolks Beat in gradually. 1 lb. confectioner's sugar Add very slowly, beating constantly. 2 c. dark rum, brandy, bourbon, or rye. Let mixture stand covered for 1 hour to dispel the "eggy" taste.

Step Two Preparation
Add, beating constantly, 2 to 4 cups of liquor 2 quarts whipping cream 1 cup peach brandy, if desired Refrigerate covered for 3 hours. Beat until stiff but not dry 8 to 12 egg whites Fold egg whites lightly into the other ingredients. Serve sprinkled with fresh nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.


I just buy mine from the store though. There aren't too many brands though...PET and Southern Comfort are the only ones that I've tried.

AnckSuNamun said:

See! You guys have a completely different Christmas to what we have. But I guess it would be nice to experiance it cold.

Here in Holland it's available throughout the year

Dewrede said:

EVERYTHING's available there.

AnckSuNamun said:

It's your cup of eggnog, not cup of tea

AnckSuNamun said:

Yep!

Why spoil the perfectly good rum?

Silk Nog

soy egg nog? I'll pass on that. I do like the chocolate Silk milk. That's like the only soy milk I can stomach.

tackam said:

It's yuuummmmyy stuff!

I have never tried it. Deprived arn't I.

AnckSuNamun said:

If you like the chocolate Silk and you like regular egg nog, you'd probably like Silk Nog. It's really quite excellent.

Um... I hope your eggs are:

01) From free-range chickens;
02) Pasteurised.

I can't believe you make this stuff. Can't you just buy advocaat?

I'll drink it if its homemade, with booze in it. But only in small amounts, that stuff is pretty rich and fattening.

A friend of mine makes homemade nog for our Holly Daze party every year. Click below to see the results of drinking this nog:
