so one of my favorite ways to eat an egg is to throw it in a protein shake in the blender. my husband thinks this is so awful and can't believe i would eat a raw egg. i have done some research on this and i always buy organic cage free eggs. i believe that this is completely fine, not worried..chances of salmonella are slim at best. it is a great source of protein! does anyone else eat there eggs uncooked? am i totally weird for this?

If you are weird so is my husband.... He loves steak tartar.. That's raw ground beef with a raw egg on top with chopped onion, capers, salt and pepper.. Eaten on pumpernickel bread..

Re: do you think this is gross?
My brother loves raw eggs and has been eating them for the past 30 years. Even when he has cooked eggs, they are sunnyside up and runny.
I like my scrambled eggs kind of on the not-so-done side, a little runny, and it hasn't killed me yet.MarcyComment

Re: do you think this is gross?
Well, since you asked! I think it's extremely gross. I can't even stand to get raw egg on my hands. With a fried egg, I can stand the yolk runny, but the white has to be all the way done. Raw eggs are supposed to be good for you.

Re: do you think this is gross?
I love raw egg yoke! Discard the white or keep it for later. Don't eat the raw egg white.
This is not strange or wierd, in fact it's very natural and healthy.My ADBB Journal here.Comment

Re: do you think this is gross?
I have yet to find any case where raw egg has killed a person. When I make a meringue based icing for cakes I never cook the whites first and no one has ever complained or taken ill. I say eat all the raw eggs your heart desires

Re: do you think this is gross?
My children eat raw beef and pork mixed with eggs(when my mother in law makes meat balls the children cannot get enough!). However I think it is disgusting! However in the past I would sure eat a lot of raw cookie dough(with egg) or homemade noodles(also made with egg) and not think twice.Maggie(F) age 31

Re: do you think this is gross?
maggie-ha growing up my brothers and i were like the champions of licking the bowl after our mom made cakes or cookies and we all were just fine! so maybe that is why i am totally okay blending up an egg with some protein shakes and not thinking twice!
i've known some people who literally just crack in open and drink..ehh not for me. if i can't see it or taste it so to speak..i'm okay!

I'm with Jace. I reckon raw eggs are good for you. Also... whenever we eat home-made (the jar stuff is probably pasturised or something) mayonnaise, we're eating raw eggs.Before and after:
