Well?

I know what an egg is, but what is the 'nog' in Egg Nog?

Well Egg Nog is far from an ale.

Queen of the Pole... I am dissapointed. :(

^^^ yes but maybe back in the olden days they used to mix it with ale rather then rum.

And why is there only the option of EGG nog? Why aren't there other types of nogs? Like raspberry nog, or pumpkin nog.
