OH MY  (and please insert sarcasm) EATING/DRINKING RAW EGGS - oh the humanity, it will be our undoing  ::)

40 years of raw cookie dough, and various batters - and I caught salmonella from "exotic birds" somewhere from Latin America - damn bird flew over my picnic table, or someone had one and did not wash their hands... (YEP, it was analyzed)

I loved Alton Brown's take on it.  Present the real recipe, outline the real risks (extraordinarily low for non-immunocompromised people in North America ca. 2010-2011), and then present the recipe as required by the lawyers.  As a fan of eggnog so thick you can eat it with a fork, I don't have a problem with heating it, but I do drink a mug of the raw stuff while I'm thickening it up, and for the better part of a decade, I've also suffered no ill effects.  Fresh eggs, a precautionary rinse (probably unnecessary these days), and winning.

But salmonella?  Oh yeah, it's real!

Sam and Ella's Chicken Palace, Tahlequah, OK!

Can anyone tell me if the Chicken Palace predates the Animiniacs episode (Season 1, epsiode 41, "Buttermilk, It Makes a Body Bitter / Broadcast Nuisance / Raging Bird", first aired November 15, 1993)?  Or was it the other way around?

I have had homemade egg nog, in my younger years (before my gut started feeling like a punching bag, after consuming it) - it is good stuff. 

On a similar note, do you remember Orange julius recipe - with real raw egg in it  :D

You say that like it's a bad thing-oh.  Your gut, not your head feeling like a punching bag.  Yeah, that's a bad thing :)  Still worth it.

Nope, but you made me google it.  Orange Julius, and why I could never reproduce it at home.  Until now... Muhahahah...

For those who really can't bring themselves to try the raw egg (even if it's pasteurized, which is safe even by USDA's standards), this should produce a reasonable facsimile of an Orange Julius.  Alton Brown hints at it himself in the egg nog discussion.  Ice cream is just a frozen custard, and whether egg whites or guar gum that holds it together, it's still pretty tasty, so why not go the other way 'round, and start with a good ice cream?

and why I am not really a fan of current version of orange julius at the stand...  I think you will be fascinated by your new recipe!

Oh ya our recipe for homemade ice cream contains uncooked eggs...  none of that "cooking a custard" for us we just put it all in the machine, and everyone raves over it...  ::)

BTW - we always used whole egg...

He uses bourbon, my father always used rum and people loved it.  Since I am lactose and egg intolerant it isn't quite the drink for me, I'll just have the rum.  ;)

I love Egg Nog, maybe I'll buy a carton this week.

My mom used to make it with raw eggs. She used to give it to us to drink it when we had an upset stomach or the flu.  :o As if that was going to help us feel better.

So what exactly is "Nog"? ???

Egg nog - even from the carton, makes the BEST french toast in the world.  :)

I love drinking it when it's close to the holidays.
