That's a tad neurotic! The whole survey is! I won't eat an egg if it's

Was it? Just because an egg has a "string" or a "spot" does not
necessarily mean its rotten, IMNSHO.


I meant the only thing that would prevent me from eating an egg is if it's
rotten right out of the shell. Spots and strings make no difference to me!

About as neurotic as I get when it comes to eggs is checking them in the
carton at the market for cracks.

The only real major concern would be salmonella tainted and undercooked
eggs.

A valid concern.

BTDT.

I always check for damaged eggs. Most of the time at the store I shop
at, there is a carton put aside for cracked eggs.

We exchange them from a carton for intact ones.
