Re: how safe are spanish eggs.
thanks for all the great and informative replies.... I do feel a little safer now, I also didn't know that spanish chefs were prohibited from making mayo with raw eggs... also I didn't know you could get alioli in jars.. I'll have a look in the supermarket later.

Re: how safe are spanish eggs.
I eat loads of eggs, I always dip them in water to check freshness a floating egg is off, if it tilts it's ok to eat but getting on a bit.
A fresh egg should lie flat on it's side.
I always thought the Salmonella bacteria was on the outside of the shell and NOT inside

Re: how safe are spanish eggs.
You are suggesting that there is no food safety in Spain? Again with your prejudices...
I have eaten eggs all my life, of supermarkets or of the family farm, also cucumbers (for something that we accused the Germans, when the disease was in its country) etc etc, so I have eaten of everything, and I have never been contaminated
Salmonella can sprout anywhere, you just have to have hygienic habits. Salmonella or any disease. Or nobody remember the mad cow disease, in UK?
Please...

Re: how safe are spanish eggs.
The title of the thread seems to suggest the possibility of higher likelihood of something "bad" in Spanish eggs vs. the UK (I presume), which isn't a silly thing ask at all, considering that Spain is still a bit backward in many other ways.
But reality is that there's probably no difference at all. I've never had a second thought about it.

Re: how safe are spanish eggs.
Although obviously, not as backward as you are

Re: how safe are spanish eggs.
surely the only way to ensure eggs are safe is the same way for all foods - cook it properly to kill the salmonella
there are more people killed on the roads every day by motor cars than die of salmonella ridden eggs every year. No one would consider banning the motor car.

Then of course there's the table manners thread

Re: how safe are spanish eggs.
oh yes, the table manners thread, that was hilarious and went on for days... I enjoyed keeping up with that one, I couldn't contribute as we don't even possess a dining table, we eat on the coffee table... unheard of in Spain I believe.
