Eggnog rates way up there with fruit cake as the two greatest holiday prank gifts! Wait…you people actually enjoy eggnog? How’s that possible? Oh no!!! Maybe everyone I’ve given fruit cake and eggnog to over these many years has actually enjoyed it! How can that be? Might my pranking efforts, have backfired? NOOOOOOOO 😢 . ---

Now wait a minute… I ended my last post with another question about eggnog preparation just so I would not be guilty of another complete derail. I had to answer Q’s question and brag about my mischievous stunt. Can’t you see, I had too. Now, does anyone actually have a favorite recipe for making your own eggnog rather than just buying some from the store? (see, back on track.) I’ve really gained a bad reputation here. ---

I don’t know of anyone who drinks eggnog in the UK, (I reckon some places sell it around Christmas but it’s not really part of British Christmas tradition), but I’ve seen it a few times on American TV. What does the stuff taste like? ---

> [@johnthejwolfe](#): > > It’s like milk ,but creamier and sweeter. I honestly have no idea what goes into making eggnog. Johnthejwolfe is right, it contains heavy cream and sugar and one assumes eggs in some measure. As Yonut inferred, there are usually an ample dose of spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon and such. Many people use it as a mixer with liquors such as rum or bourbons or something. (I don’t really know what they do as I don’t imbibe.) It’s kind of hard to describe if you’re not familiar with it. Many really enjoy it, others don’t care for it at all. I’ve only had store-bought, I have never met anyone who actually makes their own. It’s GOOD stuff. ---

Well it’s cooked in some fashion isn’t it. You put eggs in homemade ice cream, but you cook it before you freeze it. (Except down at Sam & Ella’s Cafe. They just stir 'em in raw.) Eggnog, or egg nog, is a sweetened dairy-based beverage traditionally made with milk and/or cream, sugar, and whipped eggs (which gives it a frothy texture). ---
