Hi folks,have just surfed the net to find me a recipe for uncooked Chocolate fudge.Yummy!!So I thought,until I saw the blogs below recipe,that said you can catch Salmonella,from eating raw eggs.Now I am thinking,can that be true.Hell I have eaten this fudge before,with no bugs in them.Cheeeez what next,can we not eat.

Mona , If we were to believe all the " dont eat stuff " we'd bloody starve

when I was a young fit buck I used to eat 4lbs of prime steak every day 4 quarts of milk and at least 1 dozen raw eggs

Thank you Ocker,I will resume my Fudge cake tomorrow.But you are right,there is a hell of a lot of things one should NOT eat.I should be as thin as a needle.Yea Right.

I know pregnant women have to be very aware of the possibility of salmonella in various foods, Mona, but I'm assuming you don't fall into that category. I'm this week hosting a baby shower for one of my work colleagues and the list of things she won't eat (for fear of contracting salmonella) is mindboggling - old girls like us ate what we liked, drank and smoked our way through pregnancy, yet still managed to produce healthy offspring.

Grannyracer,my Sons blame me for their smoking addiction,which was due to my smoking when pregnant.They said they had to blame something or someone,but NOT themselves.I have made that fudge cake before,and I am still here,but now all I need is the energy.

Wash it down with a pinta gin, Mona.

I will be the one that would be Fudged in the end if I did that Ocker.Good thinking though.That was my favourite tipple in times gone by.Gin,Squash and Lemonade.Ooooh luvely.

I had ya down for a PIMS girl

Nah,thats toooo ladylike for me Ocker.I also like a glass of the brown stuff.LION BROWN.Not sure if they still make that anymore,but oh thats yummy also.

Recently I read a story about an English rest home that declared that they would no longer serve runny boiled eggs or runny poached eggs because `Salmonella' can kill elderly people.

Most of the rest home residents went through the second world war and one man in his 90's said he'd been through the `Bl**dy Battle of Britain and if the Luftwaffe couldn't kill him then he doubted a boiled egg could!"

After much protest the rest home backed down and the residents were once again eating their 3 minute boiled eggs for breakfast. With bread soldiers for dipping in too!
