Kogel mogel

Kogel mogel

A Gogl-Mogl, Gogel-Mogel or Gogle-Mogle ( _yi. גאָגל-מאָגל) is an egg-based homemade dessert popular in Eastern Europe made from egg yolks, sugar, and flavourings such as chocolate or vodka. In its classic form it is served slightly chilled or at room temperature. Served warm, it is considered a home remedy for soar throats.

Preparation

It is a simple dessert to prepare. The dish consists of raw egg yolks beaten until they form a foamy texture, at which point a variety of sweeteners and flavourings are added. 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, honey, raisins, whipped cream, or a number of other ingredients based on one's own taste preferences.

As a remedy, it must be served warm or hot. The simplest form of preparation is with no egg, 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.

History

Its origins may be traced to biblical times when "The land of milk and honey" was a tribute to the Land of Israel. As a delicious drink, Gogl Mogle is mentioned in the verse "...honey and milk under your tongue" (Song of Songs 4:11). In the Talmud (circa 3rd century a.d.) this drink is determined to be a type of food and not a beverage [(Talmud, Yoma 76a)] . The Talmud aslo tells of naturally occuring milk and honey mixtures as a proof to the wonders of the land. [(e.g. Jerusalem Talmud, Peah 33a).] For the remedy to work it must be held under the tongue and kept within a closed mouth - a paradigm for mystic study of the bible. [Talmud, Hagiga 13a]

Gogle Mogle became known with this name by the 17th-century Jewish communities of Central Europe. The dessert was made popular during the communist era when sweets were rare. It is still eaten in Poland and Polish communities around the world.

Gogle Mogle is also used as a home remedy for treating a sore throat. Research done in Israel suggests that it may assist in the treatment of sore throats [Dr. Samuel Givon, an internal medicine expert of the Israel General Medical Service, says that research proved warm Gogle Mogle does assist with an antibiotic effect, by widening the blood vessels in the throat, thus bringing more blood and antigens to the inflamed area, thus hastening the recovery] [http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3184364,00.html] .
