  • Well, for years now, store purchased eggs have a warning to NOT consume raw eggs, because of bacteria. I remember when we would order eggs, sunny side up and make real eggnog. I have not made my fresh recipe for many years because of not trusting the eggs. I have a fab recipe for real eggnog and using raw eggs..... but?

  • why can't you ingest raw eggs. this is how you make eggnog. rum and brandy dont kill bacteria, they give it some ooomph.

  • What about the raw eggs, I have always heard that you do not ingest raw eggs, does the rum & brandy kill the bacteria in the eggs?
