I used to drink a milk/egg cocktail before I married and was forced to eat "sensibly". Ha!

As a child, if one was ill or off food, my grandmother used to try to make me drink a raw egg whisked up in milk. That soon made us feel much better - and that was without drinking it.

Isn't it supposed to be a good hangover cure?

Trouble is chickens can pass bacteria on in eggs! D.

I have the next best thing a soft boiled egg for breakfast.

If the egg is not cooked so it is solid I will not eat it.

I do not wish to live to be 117, I watched the old lady scarfing into a slice of cake / cream cake or whatever on the TV last night.

It's not for me, my use by date is still someways off, but I do not want to even get near three figures.

Foxes are not to fussed over the chooks not being cooked, does not seem to give them salmonella either.
