Eggnog??

noslen0519

I suppose this post could wait till tomorrow since we technically start the holiday season then. I'm assuming we should steer clear of Eggnog until LO's arrive? Or is it okay if it is pasteurized? I do love a fattening treat as much as the next person...

The way I figure it, some eat deli meat, some eat sushi, some have the occasional glass of wine. Drink your egg nog and feel no guilt! (Unless you want to wait and call your doctor tomorrow...)

Eggnog is my favorite, I'm wondering this also. It will be hard to resist.

What is that? I've never heard of such thing! Is it British (or do I live under a rock)?

So...confession: I have never had eggnog. Even though I love all things dairy, eggnog seems really gross to me. Am I missing out?

It is eggnogg or advocaat mixed with lemonade.

Absolutely. Just don't get a cheap brand.

Totally fine if pasteurized.   I'll be buying my first carton tomorrow.

Same! Just the word "eggnog" makes me sick.

Oh, eww!

The BEST eggnog is the alcoholic kind... oh well. It really is tasty. Its like how eggs make custard thick and creamy? Well it makes the nog thick and creamy. Plus the spices like the nutmeg just make it that much better. Don't knock it till you try it (a decent brand anyway).

I just googled advocaat and educated myself. Interesting.

Do you get it in the states? It is amazing!

Eggnog is good, eggnog and baileys or kahula is even better. I guess I shall just drink eggnog today sans alcohol.

I will ask DH tonight. He works in a liquor store that has a wide variety of eclectic, rare and foreign drinks, so if they sell it anywhere in this area, it would be there. I'm going to ask if he knows what a Snowball or Fluffy Duck is

ETA he always buys a bottle or two of good alcoholic eggnog every year

I have been drinking eggnog lattes for over a month now.  I have to limit myself to 2-3 a week I love  them so much.
There is only one brand of eggnog I will drink , and i LOOOVe it.  Some of them are too slimy and bleh. so much.

The only alcoholic drink I am actually looking forward to right now is a spice rum and eggnog.

I think if it's pasteurized, then you're fine. But I'll be waiting until I can add some alcohol to mine. Eggnog White Russians are delicious!

We usually get the Pennsylvania Dutch egg nogg....but since we can't do alcohol do any of you ladies know any good non alcohol brands to try???

RNmommyof2

I love egg nog.  I just buy the store brand. It's pasteurized and has no booze in it.

Eggerkr

I thought I read there is raw egg in eggnog and that's why you shouldn't drink it? I'm off to the store now with all this eggnog talk!

tyedyeme12

It IS Thursday, so I can totally UO--I don't like eggnog. DH likes it, so I try some of his every year...and never like it.

I figured since I heat it up to drink and then put in a coffee I'm ok.  Meh....So far, so good.

Borden eggnog, while probably full of heinous, awful ingredients, IS AMAZING.

That said, today I made French toast with Horizon organic eggnog and it was good.

Chichigo

Southern Comfort makes a delicious non-alcoholic egg nog. You're supposed to add your own to it, but it tastes pretty good on its own. I've given up dairy but am considering cheating just to have some.

HollowayBrandon

I love egg nog too. I like the southern comfort one too and dairy gold. But I bought some of the albertsons store brand and it was awful! Had this gross bitter aftertaste to it yuck.

MamaGrillo

Oops...

notkateanymore

I don't drink it unless there is bourbon in it, so I'm waiting.

bty19

i've never heard of these alcoholic brand eggnogs. Don't think we get them in Canada - at least not in my province!

chinablack55

Where do you ladies purchase the nonalcoholic egg nogg

Yeah, this does not sell it for me. Gag.

OH EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST. HOW I LOVE YOU

MamaGrillo

The local dairy makes theirs and we add to coffee and tea for lattes.
I've done the french toast adding the nog instead of milk to the egg mixture.
Oooooh okay... Breakfast tomorrow. Maybe (overnight) baked french toast....
