Kogel mogel (Yiddish: גאָגל-מאָגל‎ gogl-mogl; Polish: kogel-mogel; Norwegian: eggedosis; German: Zuckerei; Russian: гоголь-моголь gogol-mogol) is an egg-based homemade dessert once popular in parts of Europe and the Caucasus. It is made from egg yolks, sugar, and flavourings such as honey, vanilla, cocoa or rum, similar to eggnog or zabaione. In its classic form it is served slightly chilled or at room temperature. Served warm or hot, it is considered a home remedy for sore throats. Variations include milk, honey and soda.^[1]^[2]

History and etymology[]

Kogel mogel became known by this name by the 17th-century Jewish communities of Central Europe.^[3] It may have its roots in the Jewish code of law called the Shulchan Arukh^[4] where one is allowed to consume sweet syrup and/or raw egg on Shabbat to make one's voice more pleasant.

Vasmer's dictionary mentions different hypotheses on the origin of the name such as English hug-mug, hugger-mugger, or German Kuddelmuddel.^[5]

The dessert was made popular during the communist era food shortages, including sugar.^[6] It is still eaten in Poland and in Polish communities around the world.

Preparation[]

The dish consists of raw egg yolks and sugar, beaten and ground until they form a creamy texture, with no discernible grains of sugar. In modern kitchens, it is often mixed in a blender until it changes color and becomes thick. A classic single gogl-mogl portion is made from two egg yolks and three teaspoons of sugar beat into a cream-like dish. Variations can be made by adding chocolate, vodka, rum, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, orange juice^{[citation needed]}, raisins, whipped cream, or a number of other ingredients based on one's own taste preferences.

Uses[]

Kogel mogel is often prepared as a transition food for babies moving from a cereal diet to one that includes eggs and other soft foods. It is also a folk medicine used for treating colds or flu, particularly chest colds and laryngitis. Kogel mogel is ranked highly among other traditional cold remedies such as chicken soup.

The traditional usage of kogel mogel as a home remedy for treating a sore throat is supported by research done in Israel.^[7]^[8] The simplest form of preparation as a remedy is with no egg, but only honey added to warm milk. More commonly, a single raw egg is added to a cup of warm milk and mixed with a tablespoon of honey.
