"guggle-muggle"

[Bernard Kouchel]

"Guggle muggle", was some sort of home remedy for sore throats, made by
my bubby, long ago.

Does anyone know the origin of the term, and perhaps the concoction's
ingredients? Please reply to me via e-mail.

I was practically raised on the darn things due to childhood illnesses.
it is simply about 10 or 12 oz of hot milk, into which are added one egg
yolk (just the yolk, and these days this could be hazardous to your
health with all the bacterial problems!) a tablespoon of honey, and a
slice of butter. Stir very well and drink/sip. BTW, these days, it is
said that honey is not recommended for really young children, so even
that is not a good idea if the idea is to help a child, consult a doctor
first.

The amounts of honey, butter, etc. are variable to taste. Neither I nor
my parents (who are both 'old world' and made these for me all the
time!) have any idea of the origin of the name, so I can't help you on
that part.

Hope this helped.

My cousin who is from Lithuania used to make this concoction for his kids. The
three of them managed to survive without salmonellosis or honey-osis. Neither
of the two of you indicate where in Europe your family-members came from, who
are responsible for inflicting guggle-muggle on you. Could they also have been
from Lithuania? Or did the term have wider use?
