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
I don't think I would even have the nerve to try eggnog...just from the ingredients. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rose!
DeleteLinda 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.
ReplyDeleteHappy December and Happy Advent wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I love all your decorations! 🍀🍁🍄🐿🦔🌲🌲🌲
ReplyDeleteI love eggnog! Interesting information!
Sometimes i bake eggnog-cake, very simple and aromatic.
We like eggnog and have some in the frig. Haven't had any yet.
ReplyDeleteHere the Santa collection is now displayed, and other decorations are coming out of their tubs. It will be a few days before the trees are decorated.
My husband enjoys eggnog (without alcohol) but I'm not really a fan.Your decorations are lovely and festive.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother made a version of eggnog but called it custard. Always a treat at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm not crazy about eggnog either.
ReplyDeleteThere's eggnog in our fridge, and fruitcake in the cupboard. I don't eat either of them, but someone else does.
ReplyDeleteI love eggnog but try to stay away from it because of the calories. The light version ins't nearly as tasty. No big surprise there.:-)
ReplyDeleteOur kids were here for too short a time. I made most of our thanksgiving meal...Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, relish tray, cranberries. My sister brought pies, niece brought rolls and Mandy made sweet potatoes. Dennis and I lugged all of the food to Mandy and Brads and we ate way too much of it. I managed to catch something on Tuesday and woke up to no voice and a sore throat Wednesday and still have both. I can't get into my dr. and was hoping to wait it out since the covid test was negative, but it's been a week and no better. I'm hoping to wake up miraculously better tomorrow so I don't have to go to the clinic. I've been too tired to even check blogs. I'm sorry.
Take care.
Blessings,
Betsy
Hi GM! I wish I loved egg nog, but I think it's too milky. Your decorations look nice! xo
ReplyDeleteI never had eggnog, not sure I like! But I like fruit cake and baked one two days ago.
ReplyDeleteNice tree, I just did mine today.
Your tree is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteEggnog lover here. I grew up with the homemade kind and can't drink any other. My English mom's recipe uses raw eggs, big no-no in today's world, but that's how I make it still, and the grandkids and great grands love it. I separate the eggs, whip the whites to stiff peaks, add sugar, yolks and vanilla, then the milk, and last the nutmeg. We don't usually spike it, as too many little ones drink it!
