Egg nog: Nectar of the gods or evil phlegmy goo?

[cantunamunch]

If I was a morning drinker, eggnog with brandy would make an excellent coffee creamer. But, I’m just guessing

You would have done well at my GIL's house.

(So long as you drank the 'nogfee quick and got on with rowing out to the crab pots at 4am high tide.)

*shrug* people live in mental silos.

I know several people who check every ingredients list for allergy triggers, who hover in the kitchen and don't let you get on with it without re-re-re-informing you of their sensitivity list.

Annoying as these people are, and yes I've screamed in frustration, they're still less annoying than people who assume they are entitled to not inform themselves.

Completely aside from the

"Who, exactly, is dumb enough (or illegal enough) to be feeding eggnog to infants and young children? "

Commerciale egg-nog is great.
My dogs love it; and they get all of mine.
We keep it in the same bin as all of the pumpkin spice stuff, the trash bin.

Very late to this discussion, but have to weigh in. Arethusa Farms (https://www.arethusafarm.com/eggnog) is beyond any reproach. $13/quart … and totally worth it.

In a thread with all these eggnog fans, it's really rather funny that no one (else) does caudle.

Sounds like it was called "Holiday Nog"... which could imply to folks that it's NOT "Egg" nog and has no eggs. So I get the recall. If it was actually called "Egg Nog" that would be stranger.

+ a splash of rum and we're all good right?

 

[Tricia]

It's no fun until we pronounce the g like the Greeks meant us to...'Fleg-m(uh)'
