[talleymonster]

I "Effin" Love Eggnog!!!!

 

[shafferpilot]

[flyboy]

I like mine with extra nog. I like mine with plenty of brandy.

 

[Evan!]

only the homemade kind. I simply can't deal with the stuff from the dairy case.

Eggnog = YUK

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I've never even tried the stuff, but I like my eggs scrambled or in an omlette.

There's just something not right about a beverage named eggnog.

According to "The Joy of Cooking" I believe they mention it is good for invalids.

 

[cubbies]

Is it weird that I have never had eggnog? It is never at any of my families Xmas or other holiday parties and I have never had the inclination to buy it or make it myself.

 

[Iordz]

I came to America from South Africa. When I heard about this stuff I though it didn't sound very good, however I tried it and really liked it. Now I buy it all the time for the holidays. I really like to put a touch of brandy in my eggnog.

*sigh* From the title, I was expecting a killer Eggnog recipe. Damn you Talley!!

INGREDIENTS
6 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon table salt
4 cups whole milk
1/2-3/4 cup bourbon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg , plus extra for garnish
1/2 cup heavy cream , whipped to soft peaks

1. Off heat, whisk eggs, yolks, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in heavy 3- or 4-quart saucepan. Stir in milk, one-half cup at a time, blending well after each addition. Heat slowly over lowest possible flame, stirring constantly, until custard registers 160 degrees on instant read thermometer, thickens, and coats the back of a spoon, 25 to 30 minutes. Pour custard through sieve into large bowl; stir in liquor, vanilla and grated nutmeg. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least three hours and up to three days.
2. Just before serving, whip cream in medium bowl to very soft peaks and gently fold into custard mixture until incorporated. Serve in chilled punch bowl or cups, garnishing with optional grated nutmeg.

I've never even tried the stuff

But you'll try haggis?

Evan! thanks for the recipe. I've never had the real stuff, so I'm anxious to try it.

I said I'd be open to it... I've never tried either and I probably never will. I'll stick to beer and steak.

 

[JustDave]

I'll stick to beer and steak.

You can't go wrong with that!

Eggnog = teh awesomeness

 

[Dr Vorlauf]

only the homemade kind. I simply can't deal with the stuff from the dairy case.

I have a dairy 5 miles away. They make it there. As good as homeade. I also use grind my own nutmeg, it makes a big difference.

Your Wisconsinite card has been revoked.

"I could at home right now drinking this monster eggnog my brother makes with lighter fluid."

I love eggnog so much that it has been known to be a meal for me. And don't get that light stuff either it comma it has to coat your throat on the way down.

Nope, I was just drunk and I drank about a half gallon of eggnog.

I suppose that could happen to anyone

 

[Dude]

I love egg nog too. Why can't they sell it year round, dammit!?!

All About Beer mag had a recipe for it last year. I gotta go find that issue.

 

[Brewsmith]

Alton Brown had a Good Eats episode on making Egg Nog. He made ice cream with it, too.

Airs again Friday and early Saturday morning.

I've never had eggnog before but I think I need to try it.

 

[Donasay]

I like to make my eggnog with Kaluah and Baily's Irish Cream, I mix 2 parts store bought organic eggnog with one part baily's and one part kaluah, delicious.

There is also a legendary drink that you can get this time of year in certain Japanese restaurants known as the nog-a-sake, which is a mixture of eggnog and sake.

 

[Brew Runner]

When i was little, I thought eggnog was vile stuff. I tried it again in my teens and realized the error of my earlier ways.

Then again, when I was little I didn't like Coke, pizza, salsa, or Mexican food, but I would eat my vegetables. Now I don't discriminate much ragarding food.....whether that's good or not, I'm not sure.

 

[kenche]

I would suggest having a look at the caloric content of egg nog. The holidays are a time of exuberance, and we should make smart choices.

Egg nog has twice the calories of a good homebrew (even without the rum - with rum, x3) Why not turn down the egg nog, and instead say 'yes please' to two homebrews.
