Eggnog and Advent

 

 

 


When we were out walking this morning we fell to wondering about eggnog and where it all began Of course google has the answers......

Eggnog originated in medieval Britain as a drink called posset, which was made by curdling hot milk with wine or beer and adding spices:
 
 While no one knows who invented eggnog, most historians and foodies generally agree eggnog originated in medieval Britain. The upper classes were the only ones to have access to the milk, sherry, and eggs required to make the first version of eggnog, so it began as an exclusive beverage

I'm not much of an eggnog fan but I think almost everyone else in the family is.  Maybe eggnog is like fruit cake, you either love it or not. Not many are lukewarm.

Our tree is up and today the nativity sets go up.  Happy December and a Blessed Advent to each one.




Thanks for visiting today

  2. Linda from imagesisee.blogspot.com I struggle to like eggnog, but it just doesn't happen. I can take one sip and then I'm done. It's not that I dislike it, I just don't like it enough to keep drinking it. I always had to buy it throughout the holiday season for my husband though.
