Grandma's Glug

[Matt_Potter]

My great grand mother was a Swedish fisherman's daughter who came over on the boat with her parents as a young kid. Every Christmas eve growing up we would have a traditional Swedish fisherman's dinner. The main meal I can take or leave pickled herring is good but, there is a reason people don't eat salt cod any more. It is alright if you put enough egg sauce on it.

However we had a traditional mulled drink that the smell of triggers all sorts of wonderful holiday and family memories. It is called Glug from the Swedish word Glögg - be careful it bites and you will pay in the morning
