What Are Your Thoughts on Egg Nog?
Jeff Wrangler:
I love it, too. I can't actually remember if I've ever had it with alcohol. But, like Meryl says, it's so rich I rarely have it anymore. :(
Paul, I like your idea! :D

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.

Bourbon? I usually use brandy or rum!

The variety and range of response here is already interesting (in the poll and comments). 8) Thanks for jumping in here.
I've tried it with both brandy and bourbon-whiskey and I like it both with and without alcohol depending on my mood.
The funny thing is, when I was very little I got sick soon after sipping a glass of egg nog... so for years I couldn't even stand to think about egg nog... because I associated it with getting sick. But, in my teenage years, I completely grew out of that association.
And, now it's one of my favorite holiday treats.
I tend to be a fan of old-fashioned... and now somewhat odd holiday foods (like egg nog, figgy pudding, plum pudding, etc.).
