Eggnog...anywhere in London?...Found it!!

[gerry]

I am trying to find eggnog in London for the Christmas holidays. Anyone have any ideas where to look or has anyone found it in the past? All suggestions most appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Waitrose used to carry it. I would try there.

And Sainbury's makes proper butter tarts, which is what I also always missed at Christmas.

Old Compton Street, Soho - opposite Camisa Brothers. Can't remember the name but it has just about every kind of alcohol known to man.

I had a quick look on Ocado and they have it. Borden's brand. Doesn't have rum in it, which is more how I'm used to (don't you pour your rum over ice, then add the nog?). However you can get your hands on it I guess.

There's always the eggnog latte at Starbucks if you're desperate..........

They made it on Something For The Weekend on Sunday - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/eggnog_51305

The Costcutter ( opposite the off-licence ) on Bellenden road has it.

Or it did last night.

Is eggnog the same as advocaat?

If so, Sainsbury's has it :)

If not, I've learned something tonight :)

I think advocaat is made with spirits rather than rum, isn't it? I've never tried it but suspect it would taste more clove-ey. I'm thinking absinthe with custard kind of flavour? Eggnog is a very custard/rum/cinnamon flavour.

Advocaat + lemonade = a snowball - a great retro Christmas classic! :)-D

Thank you!! I'll let you know where I find it and post back here......

The shop is called Gerry's Wines And Spirits and stocks a very impressive selection of alcoholic beverages.

A quick search on their website says that they don't stock eggnog but I would recommend giving them a call as they can usually order things on request or will know somewhere else that stocks it.

Gerry, give Gerry's a call.

I wonder what Tarot calls Eggnog in the confines of her own house?

Actually, thinking about it, she's probably a Buckfast wine or Thunderbird drinker.
