Hail Caesar?

[NulloModo]

This thread inspired me to make my own caesar dressing the other night. I used a splash of cider vinegar, a dash of lime juice (had no lemon juice) an egg, a couple cloves of garlic, some salt, black pepper, and poured in the olive oil while blending till it got nice and creamy. Wow, it does have a good taste, but not quite what I expect from a caesar. Mine is garlickier than I usually taste, and the fact that I was out of parm cheese sorta hurts it, but still, it tastes very good, I will be looking for a good one in a restaurant now as well.

I use raw egg when I make it myself and have

never killed anyone. But you're right, I've heard

warnings that the elderly and super-sensitive should

not consume raw eggs, but anyone else should be

fine. Apparently the way they manufacture eggs

these days, their bacteria content is way low?

I'm fine with the not making it in front of you thing.

I just would like a good one, and suggestions on

this thread reassured me they're still out there somewhere.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, actually it's not until the last couple years that the REALLY food-friendly folk posited the theory that only those with comprimised immune systems should be concerned about raw egg.

As far as I would conservatively guess about 70 percent of those in the US (a figure I arbitrarily pulled out of my ass) would tell you that you are likely to die or get very sick from eating raw eggs...I am excluding those over 80 and those who are extremely fond of Rocky.

Many long years ago I was a callow lad making Caesar salad in a local Community College Dining Room-raw egg and all.

Never killed anyone although the Parmesan came out of a cardboard container already grated-if you could stomach that crud you could eat anything.

Yup!

That's the spirit!

I heartily endorse Hy's Encore's Caesar, as well as the cheese toast.

Oooh, Hy's Caesar salad and cheese toast.

Curious - What type of cheese is in this cheese toast of which you speak? What makes it great?
