Egg Nog sighting - 2015 version

Look in the liquor stores. This brand was always in finer package goods stores everywhere. You could probably find one baked the same year any of your children were born. Even your grown ones.

This with a half pint of gin was called “wino holiday breakfast.”

The pumpkin eggnog is made by Hood, as are several other flavors, like Sugar Cookie, Caramel, Cinnamon, and Vanilla. Hood got some decent review online, but I found all their flavors disgusting! It’s Southern Comfort, or Bordens, or locally bottled eggnog for me. I love eggnog. I make cookies, pudding, and cake with it, too.

Uh, … y’all know how we get egg-nog, right?

…and if you cross a bunny with a chicken, you get Easter Eggs!

I can’t find pumpkin eggnog here. :frowning:

I think the local big supermarket has dune lost their minds: Half gallon of Eggnog, $6.59.

I wince at paying 4.99, so I was reduced to pointing and laughing.

adds Eggnog to list for other supermarket

Unbeknownst to me, my wife ordered a bag of egg nog taffy and it arrived today and it is wonderful. Might last until the 25th :rolleyes:.

I, alas, have a real reason for Eggnog–it makes the pills go down easier.

And it has the shelf life of a Twinkie.

I didn’t think much of the pumpkin spice eggnog I found at Walmart last week. It was kind of thin, and the spice was almost undectable. My mom used to grate a little nutmeg on her eggnog and it tasted very similar to that, except watered down - no hint of actual pumpkin flavor.

Alton Brown just re-posted his recipe for homemade eggnog; he claims it can sit in the fridge for a whole year without spoiling. I guess that may be true since it appears to consist almost wholly of egg yolks, sugar and booze:

I have to admit that I’m tempted to try it, though. I have a cup of rum and a cup of bourbon, but I hate to buy a whole bottle of cognac just for this one recipe. Maybe I can buy a bunch of those mini bottles at the liquor store.
