Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 We eat raw eggs here too. Haven't you made Elaine's mayo? I never knew mayo could be so good until I had homemade! Personally, I wouldn't eat grocery store eggs raw, even washing the shells, but that's just me. I get my eggs straight from the farm from someone I know, and I know exactly how the chickens are fed and cared for, and they are the healthiest chickens anywhere. So, no fears there. I do wash the shell if I am going to eat it raw. If you have a local farmers' market, that would be your best bet for eggs. Sonya On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 12:04 AM, Wizop Marilyn L.

My husband, who does not care for mayonnaise, said that store bought mayo always gave him the runs. Homemade mayo, according to my modification of Elaine's recipe (a little more mustard, 'cause we like it that way), does not -- and he likes that. But otherwise, he won't touch mayonnaise. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
