MmmMMmmmm… Egg Nog…

Egg Nog fact # 134 - The canned eggnog from Borden® will actually keep in the can for 18 months without refrigeration! You’re not going to drink that, are you?? Mincemeat Spice Cake with EggNog Topping 1 (18 1/4-ounce) package…

You already know my thoughts on this one. I’m a bit of a nog snob.

I think if it weren’t for ACWF, you’d be dead from something you ingested by now.

I am an addict also. I can consume an entire container in minutes.

What’s the fuss about the nog? I try it every year, but get as far as a drink and then I realize I don’t really like it. I used to when I was a kid, but no more.

This year, I AM NOT going to drink it. You can’t make me. Well, unless you leave Baltimore and come and hold my nose and pour it down my throat and stuff. But you’re not going to do that right? Right?

Sorry, I can’t get on the nogwagon…

Eggnog lattes are for shizzle, but you should get eggnog hot choclate if you can.

I also loves me the nog but have actually been too lazy to try nog in a can. Nice and cold from the dairy section sans alcohol has always been my pick o’ nog. What’s your take on eggnog lattes? I love ‘em. This is the only time of the year I’ll go into Starbuck’s to get ‘em.

Kendra- I do what I want!

Silver Turtle- Hommade nog is always the best.

Dancinfairy- I belive that traditional nog has its roots in a drink in the UK that was similar to a heavily malted beer.

Who knew that the word nog could be used in so many ways! I have never had the nog. I don’t think it’s as popular in the UK as it is elsewhere.

I do drink hot milk with sugar and nutmeg - would that taste like it?

Mmmm nog. My mom (and grandma, and great-grandma) have some like super-awesome-eggnog recipe. It doesn’t involve liquor. So I never got those jokes about people getting drunk on eggnog when I was a kid. My sister-in-law comes over on Xmas eve and the second sentence out of her mouth is always “is there eggnog?!?!?!?” MMMgood stuffs.

I kinda want to try the chainog, too. I love chai. I love nog. And then I could compare them.

But I’ve never had store-bought nog I could drink more than 1/2 a sip of. So it’s probably not going to even come close.

you should try it, but keep in mind that for those of us with no true nog reference it is the best we can do.

you’re going to give it a scathing review, i just know it.

please be gentle with the vegan nog.

I had a really lousy Cosmopolitan once. It wasn’t from a can or anything. It was just really lousy.

Serra- I would, but it’s hard, and I’m lazy, so I just buy what they have at the store. This year, however, I plan to try a few recipes over the holidays.

Wombat- I also saw that episode. I had a bit of a nog-log going on in my pants if you know what I mean, and I don’t mean poo.

NPRJ- Keep him far far away from cannog.

Bliss- As more time goes by, the more I feel like your long lost relative.

Deanne- That’s it! There’s no way I’m going to London now.

Kim- Oh c’mon, it’s worth trying at least once.

Lorinog- Nogdict? You are awesome.

CBK- Now that I’ve blazed that trail, don’t go down it.

Camogirl- Nog is like dessert. Beer will always be dinner.

Phoenix- I should have known better. Ooh, 5 pounds of thawed shrimp, how can I lose!?

Kendra- I knew I kept you around for something. Yes, I guess I have to try Tofunog next.

there is substitute nog!!! oooh ooooh pick me! pick me!

as a person with an egg allergy AND a dairy allergy (*weep*), i endorse the following:

there’s oregon chai’s ?”chai nog,” which you mix with milk, or soy milk or whatever. it’s more like a tea with nog spices, but i take what i can get.

there is also silk brand’s “silk nog.” i find it rather delicious, though i honestly have not a clue what real eggnog should taste like.

those are the two i buy. sometimes i make chai nog with silk nog, for extra holiday cheer. mmmmm faux noggery. mmmmm.

mokiejovis, there has to be some kind of egg-subsitute nog, though, doesn’t there? Beatersnog or something? I can’t believe there wouldn’t be.

Putting aside my aversion to ingesting raw eggs, Egg Nog sounds disgusting anyway. But hey, if you like it, more power to you, I guess.

I’ll be over here, drinking Winter Lager or something.

I love nog, as well, and salute your cannog-tasting exploits. Thanks for blazing that trail for us.

cannog! hahaha! brilliant

as a fellow nogdict, I empathize with your desire to try cannog… but to actually drink it? ! do you have a death wish?

Believe me or not, I have never had eggnog. I have no idea what it tastes like. What I do know, however, is that the Hub-Man despises nog and makes nasty comments about it whenever we grocery shop during the nog season. I guess I’ve always been a bit cowed by his nog-hate, so I’ve never tried to buy and try any.
