It's a drink with a consistency and flavour halfway between cream and custard. Add a hint of nutmeg and you’re just about there. If you drink it in America it’ll be chock full of horrible high fructose corn syrup rather than glucose, which is slightly more expensive and much better for you.

Answer 4

It's just a drink associated with Christmas. It is made with eggs and cream and spices and the taste reminds me of ice cream. I should be showing up in grocery stores about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. You'll find it in the dairy section.

Answer 5

Anomolous is exactly right. My sister adds Captain Morgan rum to the adult nog and we also add vanilla flavor. It's amazing how the raw eggs don't kill us as much as you hear about the dangers. Egg nog is so yummy... I drink Silk Nog because I'm lactose intolerant.
