A Seasonal Question to Ponder

What part of the Egg, is the "Nog"??

The rooster cum? Oops, now whenever I hear someone has egg on their face, I get a wierd image. I think I'll have bacon, not sausage for breakfast.

Now Muffie, I just asked a simple question! Why is it called EggNog???

[GeneratorDC]

Nog is an old English dialect word (from East Anglia) of obscure origins that was used to describe a kind of strong beer (hence noggin). It is first recorded in the seventeenth century. Eggnog, however, is first mentioned in the early nineteenth century but seems to have been popular on both sides of the Atlantic at that time. An alternative British name was egg flip.

Thanks Generator! But I still am not touching the stuff!

It's my favorite holiday tradition! A goodly portion of alcohol and a little egg nog. Mmmmm.

It sounds like you’ve got your portions right.
