Egg Nog

Auscast

At Christmas time in Australia (I'm an Aussie - here for a year so far) most of the supermarkets sell a non-alcoholic Egg Nog in a carton beside the custard, cream and such.
Being here for Christmas last year and now for this year (I know, why am I here?) we cannot not find anything like it anywhere.

We would throw it in a pan, add some alcohol to it and imagine we were drinking it out of moose mugs.

Has anyone seen a carton of egg nog in a shop anywhere in Ireland?

I'm pretty sure I saw the stuff in Lidl or Aldi around Christmas time last year.

Edit: Aldi will be doing it. http://www.aldifoods.com/us/html/product_range/productrange_cool_dairy_ENU_HTML.htm

I don't see it on their Irish site. Are you sure?

I'm just going by what it says on the link, unless that is last years info.

But that’s just the beginning. Our dairy case is also the place to look for breakfast items like eggs, hash browns, and orange juice. Refrigerated biscuits and cookie dough. Your favorite cool on-the-go snacks, like puddings, gelatins, string cheese and yogurt tubes. And holidays herald ALDI seasonal favorites like pie crust and egg nog.

I'll be in Aldi later today and will have a look.

It's this year's info, it's just for the USA where egg nog is rather more commonplace.
