Those of you with long memories may well recall the furore in the 1980's over the risk of salmonella poisoning from eggs.
Ever since then, Nanny has frowned upon us eating runny eggs.
Now relief is at hand, Nanny's Food Standards Agency has now declared that runny eggs are safe:
"The Food Standards Agency has today announced a change to its advice about eating eggs - infants, children, pregnant women and elderly people can now safely eat raw or lightly cooked eggs that are produced under the British Lion Code of Practice.I have to say I have been steadfastly ignoring Nanny's egg advice since the 1980's, and have never suffered from a dicky stomach as a result of eating runny yolks!
The revised advice, based on the latest scientific evidence, means that people vulnerable to infection or who are likely to suffer serious symptoms from food poisoning (such as infants, children, pregnant women and elderly people) can now safely eat raw or lightly cooked hen eggs or foods containing them.
We had previously advised that vulnerable groups should not consume raw or lightly cooked eggs, because eggs may contain salmonella bacteria which can cause serious illness."

I have been making Mayonaise with standard supermarket eggs for some years. It tastes great!
