Love it, hate it, somewhere in the middle? Share your thoughts.

As always, there's a poll coming.

I used to like it when I was a kid, but I think that's only because it signaled Christmas was coming. Now, I love the smell, but I can't stand the consistency...I have to cut it with skim milk. I like the spices...but the Chileans have a version I enjoy much more than eggnog, even eggnog with rum...it's called Cola de Mono (monkey's tail) and it's a mixture of coffee, milk, and aguardiente (which is basically over proof moonshine). Do they put eggs in? Hmmm...maybe they do. But no spices, just some sugar...it's really yummy, gets me drunk, and doesn't hurt my tummy like eggnog.

Poison would be a good alternative imo..

Eggnog with a little Whiskey or Brandy or dark Rum in it (it's the ONLY time of year I'll mix a drink over having a beer)... Egg Nog Rocks.

Stop with all the spammy polls

Heretic! Burn him! Burn him!!!!

Spammy? I'm just curious what people think of egg nog. Got a problem with that? :mad:

it's gross, and useless. It's much better to get drunk before the family get together, that way you don't have to deal with them while waiting for your egg nog buzz to kick in :p

I'm surprised you don't like it, you must be a Tom and Jerry girl eh?

never heard of it. I just looked it up though, rum and brandy? sounds really good. I may start a new tradition:)

I dont care for egg nog.
I'm not sure exactly what it is, and I'm not interested.

How about if you could like it off my taint?

Store-bought eggnog is vile. Which is why most people hate it.

There's a Julia Child recipe for eggnog which is heavenly - it has dark rum and cognac in it. Every time I make it, people who HATE eggnog become permanent converts to homemade eggnog.

Egg Nog rocks, its a shame they don't sell it year round. :(

They don't sell at all over here but just the words egg and nog sound pretty disgusting. Its a drink that contains eggs?

I have to know what it is

*is glad you don't find it (much if at all) here in the uk*

*cos it sounds gross*


*will stick to traditional british drinks like vodka and meths*

DO NOT BUY STORE EGGNOG - YOU WILL BE SORRY.

make it this way...

You'll need

1 Dozen eggs (separated into yolks and whites)
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided into two equal parts
1 1/2 cups dark rum
4 1/2 cups whole milk
4 1/2 cups cognac
3 cups heavy whipping cream (in two equal parts)
Ground nutmeg

Separate eggs into yolks and whites in separate bowls. I put the whites into the mixer and the yolks into another bowl.

Beat egg-yolks with 1/2 of sugar, set aside.

Beat egg-whites until stiff, then mix in other 1/2 of sugar.

Poor the yolks into the whites and mix together slowly.

Stir in dark rum slowly

Stir in milk slowly

Stir in cognac slowly

Stir in 1/2 of cream slowly

Whip rest (1/2) of cream and fold in carefully.

Serve at room temperature by ladling the eggnog into cups and sprinkle nutmeg on the top. Try to get some of the foam and some of the liquid (if not fully mixed) in each cup.

You are my new best friend.

I have to know what it is

6 Eggs
2 c Heavy cream
1 c Milk
3/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Rum
1/2 c Brandy
1/2 c Whisky
1 tb Nutmeg

Separate the eggs and set the whites aside. Mix the yolks well, gradually adding the cream, milk, and sugar. WHip the egg whites until "soft peaks" form. Fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Gradually add the Rum, Brandy and Whiskey. Let the egg nog sit, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Sprinkle the Nutmeg over the top right before serving

Your first post I *really* like. That sounds YUMMY! I'll try this!
:cool:

Mmmmmmm, eggnog. I adore it. Tried to make some of my own, didn't work too well. Alas!

Not being funny, but couldn't you have just said 2 cups of whole mile and 2 cups of cognac?

I've never had it. I've never even seen it in England. Probably for health and safety reasons...

You can buy eggs in the US that can be eaten raw (sterilized by radiation).

It has a heavenly taste.

Good for drinking. Great for dousing people with.

What can I say? I measure quality differently. ;)

I've honestly never tried it for there is Glühwein around here...

So will I, but without the alcohol.

I'm under 21. Plus, I can't stand the taste of alcohol.

I would like it off your taint.
I would like your egg nog-Sinuhue I Am

How do you make that?

You can buy it in stores or drink it on the Weihnachtsmarkt ;)

Eggnog is awesome...
Anyone try eating Cheetos with it?(crunchy, not puffs)
mmmmhmmm..... yummy

I love egg nog, without alcohol. The best batch I've ever made up was honey egg nog, the taste was a bit strange, until you got used to it, then it was just smooth as... well... honey. ;)

Egg nog has saved my life on many occasions.

You cannot take away my constitutional right to egg nog.

EDIT: Egg nog lattes are particularly sacred to my religion.

I've never had any myself, but the thought of an egg-based drink makes me cringe.

Egg of Nog is bad.

WTF does egg nog mean, anyway?

You will be among those up against the wall when the egg nog revolution comes!

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. Obviously gingerbread lattes are far superior to egg nog lattes and are the true path of Christmas caffinated goodness.

The gingerbread latteites will not go to hell, but they will go to limbo.

Best. Drink. EVAH!

I admit that I'm pretty badly biased - My wife makes killer eggnog, but I was a fiend for the stuff even before I met her...

Egg nog with lots of liquor. Best. Stuff. Ever.

Egg nog?

Never had it.

I don't know what to say about eggnog. I had it quite a few times as a child (non-alcoholic), because I liked the taste and all, but I always ended up feeling ill for awhile after drinking it.

I guess eggnog and I just have a love/hate relationship.

Yeah, I can't recommend drinking a lot of it. I try to ignore how it's made too.
But it sure is tasty.

It's the best drink ever - when made fresh, that is. And it's repellent when poured from a carton.

I can't believe anyone willingly ruins coffee by adding things.

I'm looking forward to the extensive taste-testing of egg nog recipes.

Egg nog is so good, I wish they made it year round.

It's best with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top. Or with a bit of rum.

yum. :D

I've only had egg nog three times in my life. Once it was expired. Once it was half mixed with Jack Daniels (dont ask) and the other time it was half decent, I guess.

I can't believe anyone willingly ruins coffee by adding things.
*shrugs* I just like my coffee to taste like a liquid candybar.

And I found the recipe for Honey Egg Nog for those feeling adventurous.

Honey Egg Nog
3 cups whole milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup honey
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. rum (optional)
Whipped topping (optional)
In large saucepan, combine milk, egg, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and rum.

Chill at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped topping, as desired. Makes 4 servings.

I don't think I've ever had it.

I loathe raw eggs, so maybe that's why.

What's egg nog?

Egg Nog is fekkin vile.

Disliking eggs, and being unable to consume most malted liquiors I have only tried this one, I have to say I did not care for it. I know that malted beverages are an aquired taste though.

Being the last person on earth that one should go to for and comparison of malted beverages (with the exception of Sparks, DRINK IT: IT R GOOD) I voted other.

it's gross, and useless. It's much better to get drunk before the family get together, that way you don't have to deal with them while waiting for your egg nog buzz to kick in :p

Why would you not want to deal with your family?

Personally, I love Egg nog, and I'm sometimes slightly suspicious of those who don't, lol.

9000 Post!

Haven't had it in 7 or so years at least.

I love it though.

You buy it in a carton? Is it sold like milk?

You buy it in a carton? Is it sold like milk?Or in tins. Ick. :: shudders ::

Tins? That's barbaric, not to mention disgusting. You can really buy tins of egg nog at shops?

Hmm, is this Egg-Nog stuff similar to Advocaat, then? The recipes look similar, but Advocaat doesn't have egg-white in. Apparently.

Tins? That's barbaric, not to mention disgusting. You can really buy tins of egg nog at shops?


Its a good general rule to avoid any food product out of a tin. Until all other food items are gone.

Tins? That's barbaric, not to mention disgusting. You can really buy tins of egg nog at shops?Yup. Heavy duty, damned-near bulletproof cans (tins).

It's nasty.

Eggnog quote click here. (http://www.wavsite.com/sounds/7093/better14.wav)

Southern Comfort Spiced Vanilla Egg Nog...with a little brandy in it. It tastes good and makes the relatives more bearable.

Sorry to but in ,but I just read the method for making egg-nog.I sounds like the eggs actualy are kinda kooked through oxidisation while being prepared.Does this sound correct? and if so cooked eggs with alcohol,no matter how much alcohol sounds gross!!:confused:

The radio commercial for Amstel Light sums up my feelings towards it: "Milk and rum? That ain't right!"
