Given the following evidence, do you think I served up raw egg???

[Thankyouandgoodnight]

I made Beef Florentine which is basically a layer of bolognaise sauce with a layer of spinach, grated cheese, cream cheese and 2 eggs mixed up and tehn topped with mashed potato.

I made the mince layer and mash earlier and then just before putting it in the oven, I made the spinach layer and put it all together and in the oven at 200 until the potato started browning nicely.

I put a mouthful in and realised that it was VERY luke warm. I wasn't sure what consistency the spinach layer should be like but reckoned because of all the cheese that it would still be quite runny despite the eggs in it.

So - did I serve up raw egg and if I did, how long before we all get sick or might we not???

surely you will only get sick if the egg was off.

Even if it wasn't cooked through, most eggs are from chickens who have been innoculated against salmonella so your chances of illness are absolutely tiny.

I thought that raw egg was a salmonella cocktail? Is it not? I'm liking your thoughts!!

people used to drink a concoction of raw egg and sugar, cannot remember what its called, my dad had it quite often.

It has only been since the salmonella scare that people insist on cooked egg.

We stick 'lick the bowl' after making cake mixture.

So, that in mind, i think you would be fine.

... and the whole salmonella thing came form 'Eggwina' Currie. It was meeja/government-blowing-things-out-of-all-proportion type stuff.
Raw eggs need only be avoideed by the pregnant, the very young and the very poorly. Even for these groups it is a tiny risk.

still

And don't boxers drink raw eggs as part of their diet/training?

And we also lick the bowl after cake making!
