Egg Nog.....Yuletide Plasma

[creekster]

HAs anyone made homemade egg nog? I used to amke it all the time until we had kids and my wife didnt want me giving the kids raw eggs to drink. Fresh nog is very good. I have a recipe at home somewhere (I htink I can still find it) if anyone is interested.

I think I gained weight just reading this thread.

I have had homemade....I have found it to be hit and miss (like most foods).

I would definitely be interested in the recipe, though.

For starters, eggnog is 25% raw egg. The rest is milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

I repeat, one-fourth of what you're drinking is a raw, unborn chicken.

Sure, but the dairy stuff uses pasteruized eggs. ALso, they really arent unborn chickens, as they aren't fertilized. Who would want lumpy egg nog?

I have actually been wondering about the percentage of egg in there. The bottle of egg nog currently in my fridge lists the ingredients as: whole milk, cream, milk, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, sugar, and then egg and seasoning. In that iteration, there's no way the egg can be 25%.

Yes, I repeated that from memory; I contemplate these ingredients each time I'm enjoying the nog.

Any "egg nog" that includes HCFS in the ingredient list is not real egg nog. Don't be fooled.

Just FYI.

cheers.

Agreed.

Egg nog Smack Down!

I started this thread as a celebration of eggnog. Look what has happened as space ghost tries to detract from the original purpose of the thread.

From time to time threads will meander. You should reign us back in with a egg nog fairytale.

Isn't that akin to saying it couldn't be egg nog if Eggland's Best eggs were used? Or if the milk used a newfangled homogenization process? Maybe I'm not enough of a sugar snob to understand the difference between sugar and sugar.

How about I get the party started with some eggnog shoes!

Traditional eggnog recipe

Note that 12 eggs = 24 ounces, or 3 cups.

This recipe from the creepy guy from The Food Network has a little less than 25% raw egg.
