What Are Your Thoughts on Egg Nog?
moremojo:
I do not like egg nog...at ALL. Tried it for the first time when I was a little boy, and found it absolutely foul. Have stayed away from it ever since.

If I made it, I would use homogenized eggs to avoid risk of salmonella. In practice, I usually just drink store-bought. I only have it once a year -- while trimming the Christmas tree, with alcohol. It's delicious.

Homogenized eggs? :o
Never heard of such a thing. I googled it (the German words for it), and sure enough, nothing came up. The raw eggs in the recipes are exactly what makes me hesitate :-\. Otherwise I would have tried it already.
But thanks for the recipe anyway :-*.
Brown Eyes:
Yes, pasteurized egg nog is often the preference for people who are really worried about the eggs in egg nog.
Jeff Wrangler:
I'm puzzeled about "homogenized eggs," too. Is that like Egg Beaters?
serious crayons:
Oh, I'm so sorry! I meant pasteurized eggs. (I knew it was something ending in "ize." ::)) Pasteurized eggs are safe to eat raw. They taste just like regular eggs, though are a little more expensive. They're in the grocery store near the regular eggs.
Here's a brief article about them, if you're not familiar with them:

Egg Beaters or other "egg product" would also work, though might not be as good.
This is probably more than you wanted to know, but whenever I make scrambled eggs -- which is often -- I make half real egg and half Egg Beaters. They're perfectly good. But pure Egg Beaters aren't that good, IMO.
