I never ever had eggnog. Might want to try that out sometime.
I don't know anyone in my environment that ever had eggnog. It's not very Dutch, I guess.
Well, one way to find out

I've never had it either! It's not really a big thing over here...

We don't drink eggnog here. In Scandinavia, we drink Gløgg instead which is a sort of spiced wine enjoyed quite warm (but not boiling) which is usually quite sweet. In this country, we like to drink it with raisins and bits of almond in it.



Not the best picture, but it shows how I like mine. Nice and chunky with lots of almond! Not 100% sure how the danes and swedes generally prefer theirs.

I feel eggnog is syrupy and thick, with a pleasant nutmeg flavor but almost cloyingly sweet, Vanilla. Soy nog is lighter and more pleasant, based on taste alone.

I don't think you are missing much by not having egg nog.

This sounds absolutely delicious, Tore! In a 3-way competition between egg nog, soy nog, and your Gløgg, I think Gløgg would be best of all!!!! I eat raisins and almonds all the time, and I love spiced cider, so I'd probably like the combination with a bit of alcohol to warm up the tum.

And that name is great. Gløgg!

Say, speaking of Scandinavian holiday traditions, I just went to a St. Lucia fest in Minnesota, which is celebrated there thanks to all those Scandinavians who immigrated. I don't think they brought the Gløgg with them, though. Only lutefisk.

Wow, lutefisk? That is certainly a seasonal treat I look forward to .. Fish turned to soapy and near tasteless jelly by thorough soaking in lye. Believe it or not, but it's actually quite delicious

Gløgg is okay actually, I too think I would prefer it to eggnog which I think sounds almost dangerous. Can you really drink egg mixed with sugar and alcohol without getting sick? I bet I can't

We drink Glühwein here (not just here, I think that's pretty common). It's a warm, spicy, rather sweet wine with a tiny amount of alcohol in it.

"Glühwein" is German for "Glow wine", which is probably based on the glowing, warm feeling this wine provides you with

This looks to be a billion times better than eggnog. I wonder how I can try some...

Interesting! It must be a mainly American thing. All I know about Eggnog is that once a restaurant I was working at had Eggnog as a Christmas special kind-of thing and I dropped my iPhone in it.
