Eggnog Has English Ancestry
Nog comes from the word, “noggin," meaning a small
drinking vessel with an upright handle Eggnog has been
popular in England for centimes, but it probably came
from the Canary Islands or Spam because it contains
wine. Eggs, milk, ale or sack, a dry wine, are standard
ingredients for eggnog.
Throughout its early years, eggnog was known by many
other names: egg-pop, custard posset, syllabub, milk
punch, flip, one yard of flannel and auld man’s milk. In
structions for making it appeared m diaries and travel
notes. Later it was included in cookbook under “Invalid
Foods’’ 1
However, according to travel diaries, many comforted
themselves with eggnog en route to their destinations.
And eggnog was found at a number of taverns, so it didn’t
take much persuasion to use it for socializing while
engaged in holiday travel.
Eggnog parties were very popular in the nation’s capital
during the whole period between Christmas and New
Year’s. Members of the Cabinet and Congress as well as
Washington socialties looked upon this tune as a good
season to make them rounds. Southerners, then and now,
keep a pitcher of eggnog refrigerated for such a tune as
callers appear.
Whether you make your own or buy it ready-made,
eggnog is an easy refreshment to serve during the
holidays. It’s a sip-able way to toast your friends with a
“Merry Christmas”or “Happy New Year.”
