Personally, I wouldnt hold much stock ('scuse the pun!) on such things
from most MDs (at least based on what I've seen in Aus with our GPs) -
even though in this case I wholeheartedly agree

Indeed they are.

A nourishing, highly nutritious powerhouse, is the egg!

I love to eat eggs raw, and always have for as long as I can recall.
Duck eggs, Chook eggs... they're all good raw.

Asde from that, has anyone mentioned picked eggs yet?
Until this year, I'd never tried them. Not particularly common in
Australia. So I found a good recipe and made a large jar of pickled
eggs... and I liked them. I've since made a few more batches.
