"Risky" dishes - Raw egg, raw meat, cerviche, fermentation, and more

[Jaded Optimist]

I'm making proper Ceasar dressing tomorrow for the first time, although I have no fears as I'm using my neighbors fresh eggs. I've also made duck prosciutto and dried beef before.
Thoughts? Recipes?

This always works for me when I make Ceasar dressing. Unlike authentic Caesar dressings which are made with olive oil and thickened with raw eggs, this one has a mayonnaise base, which means no raw eggs so you don’t have to worry about giving it to your kids. And speaking of kids, mine love this dressing so much that they’ve learned to make it themselves. They don’t even wait for me to make a salad; while I cook dinner, they sit at the kitchen table with a big head of romaine and dip the leaves in. Instead of whole anchovies, I use anchovy paste — makes it easy, especially if you’re squeamish about anchovies (just hold your nose and add it in; the dressing needs every last bit to taste like the real deal!) For the cheese, it’s important to use imported Parmigiano-Reggiano from Italy; domestic Parmesan pales in comparison. You can always tell if it’s authentic by looking at the rind, which is embossed with the name over and over. If the cheese is already grated, it should be labeled “Parmigiano-Reggiano,” not “Parmesan.” Begin by whisking together the garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Now, whisk in the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, and pepper. Next, throw out that garbage concoction you just threw together and run down to the store to buy a bottle of Newman's Own Ceasar Dressing. They come in Classic, Light, Creamy, Vinaigrette, and even Organic varieties. With so many options, Newman's Own is guaranteed to have a dressing to suit your taste!

That’s all there is to it. Follow me for more recipe hacks.

I haven’t made caesar salad dressing before, but does it have any acid in it? If so that should help cut down on risk. Same reason things like whiskey sours are safe to drink even though they usually have an evg white in them.

Long pork.

No interest in making a mayo based dressing since the whole point is to make an "authentic" dressing. Otherwise it seems like using miracle whip vs. Mayo kind of idea.

Long pork.

I'd eat the shit out of you.

If you wash the eggs with hot water you'll be fine, the salmonella comes from the chicken's fecal matter. And crack them on a flat surface so the outside of the shell doesn't touch the egg inside.

I used to have chickens and enjoyed many raw egg concoctions without ever getting sick.. My favorite is probably a whiskey sour with a beaten egg white.

If you ever make sushi at home use quality farm raised fish. The wild stuff can have parasites and they're always visible.

Long pork.

Long pork is only dangerous if you want to try and hunt for it in the wild.

I've tried cerviche once, got food poisoning, once.

That aside, cerviche is some of the vilest shit ever, both in taste and texture. Why anyone would eat that unless it was culturally significant is beyond me.

Steak Tartare

Raw mince meat with a raw egg cracked in to it, folded, and eaten raw with a piece of toast, rubbed with raw garlic.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Ceasar turned out delicious. I'm filled with yum and overwhelming garlic.

Ask HRC what happens when you dabble in elite epicureanism.

Sounds like you had bad ceviche, tbch

Possibly, though to be honest I wasn't so big on trying it anyway due to the 'risky' nature. Which made getting sick all the more of a bitch to put up with.

That's a shame, ceviche is one of my favourite dishes. Something about that leche de tigre just makes me happy. Hopefully one day you'll have an opportunity to have it made right!

I've had egg cream soda. I drank a lot of it and never got sick.

Edit because it doesn't have eggs? I always thought it did. The internet says no. But I always heard that it had raw eggs and could make you ill.

What? Mayonnaise uses raw egg...

Im not even sure if using Mayonnaise isnt more authentic, no way they didnt used their freshly made Mayonnaise as base for it.
