Pasteurized Eggs
« on: February 14, 2007, 05:19:51 PM »
Mostly for XO. I was in the market the other day (Harris Teeter, I believe) and noticed the pasteurized eggs. Since XO hadn't known about them, I whipped out my cell phone and took a picture for him.

Interesting. I've never heard of this - does it lessen or eliminate the risk of salmonella? How about bird flu?

I would love to see those in Amman, but I'm not holding my breath. Generally the eggs are so fresh here that I have to wash them... and the cats attack me when I come in the door with the eggs. *Bwak!*

Yes & probably.

They've been sold in the US since about '92. They're great for various recipe that call for uncooked eggs.

Also, eggs that fresh don't taste as good. They should age a few days before eating.

Yup, or coddled.
