To: Born to Conserve

To be honest, I’ve never understood the attraction of partially cooked meat (slightly pink in the middle is ok), fish, or eggs, or uncooked seafood. Most of it makes me gag. I can’t say why, but that and chewing my food well likely helps keep me from getting salmonella poisoning.

However, this recalls a humorous story:

There was this really cute girl at a bar I did service work for, about 40 years ago. I noticed she was flirting with me a bit (she probably did that with most any guy). Still, I was single, “unattached”, and looking: I returned the favor. But, one day as we chatted, she mentioned liking raw hamburger. That’s when I noticed that she had these rather small, but very sharp looking teeth. That got me to thinking a bit. I won’t detail further here, but...

Discretion did overtake “valour”.

" Most of it makes me gag."

Partially cooked meat - uneatable to me.

Uncooked seafood - That's bait not people food.

But when I was a kid on grannies farm we would eat raw eggs still warm from the nest.
Crack 'em open and gobble it down!.

And taverns and bars used to sell raw eggs in beer.
Back in the day a raw egg in a beer cost 5¢ more.

Egg In Beer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_in_beer

In 1915, industry journal The Mixer and Server noted a Seattle case where a judge decreed that an egg,
once cracked into a glass of beer, qualified as a drink and was not in violation of ordinances against giving free food in bars.

A 1939 article in Printing magazine notes that Pennsylvania State Brewers' Association had launched a public-relations
campaign to "sell the idea that eggs and beer make a pleasing combination."[3] Other Pennsylvania sources refers to this as a "miner's breakfast".
