Eggnog anyone?

[ejholt]

I always buy eggnog for Christmas.  It is a tradition in my family.  I like it and so does everyone here does too.  I have never tried to my it myself but would like to try it.  My mother made boiled custerd and it was great.  Maybe I will try to make it too.

A real Christmas favorite at my house! Give it the kids when they were small. Now that they've grown up they still love it! A great way to get your calcium too, yum, yum:-)

Loveit too. In fact I can go for one right about now as soon as I finish type this. It's like one of my favorite thing to drink, and thanks for reminding me lol.

It's good, but I tend to avoid it because, from what I've heard, it's pretty horrible for you.

I agree. It is a once a year treat during the holidays. I've never been big on putting rum in my Egg Nog. I like it just as it is with a little Nutmeg on top. Any left over egg nog I use to make Christmas morning French Toast. Happy Holidays Everyone!

I all for it.do u know haw to make it?

Here is Emril's recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/emerils-eggnog-recipe2/index.html

It's similar to what I remember my mom making. However growing up she'd toss the entire egg into a blender along with the milk (but again 2%, not whole), nutmeg, vanilla, and honey (again, not sugar as in the above recipe). I think using the separated eggs, etc. makes the nog look more silky... When my mom would pour hers, there tended to be a lot of larger air bubbles. And of course since she was serving it to us kids, no alcohol.

Speaking of alcohol, I always thought that rum was the favored alcohol for eggnog, but as I was browsing the Food Network site, I saw that most all recipes called for bourbon, and some for brandy, but none for rum... I guess the other two have a sweeter flavor and may lend more of a spice-flavor to it as well.

I hate eggnog. It's like drinking raw eggs and I don't like the taste.

I love egg nog but it is hard to find it in non dairy . only certain stores carry it this time of year.

I think eggnog is revolting. I will never EVER drink it or anything mixed with it. Gross. Of course I don't drink milk or thick drinks at all.
