This recipe also calls for a raw egg, an ingredient most of us would shun these days for fear of salmonella. The ingredients suggest to me that this is a mayonnaise type dressing that would be great for cole slaw (if only the egg were cooked). Maybe salmonella was less of a problem a hundred years ago, before egg factories.

You could use those fake eggs...the egg substitutes. Salmonella was discovered and named in 1885. In my experience my Grandmother raised her own chickens and didn't worry about it. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Far Side. I hadn't thought of that. I think they are egg whites but there may be some that really are substitutes and not eggs at all. I know it used to be common to use raw eggs in salad dressing, egg nog, and other dishes, too, I suppose. It's probably safer to grow one's own chickens but much less doable than decades ago. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteHi Nancy, I remember making this salad dressing under my mothers guidance as a young girl, and if I remember correctly, we didn't put an egg in, just condensed milk, vinegar, mustard and a little pepper and salt. It was yummy, nice on coleslaw and potatoe salad. Love these old recipes.
ReplyDeleteOh, great idea to use condensed milk, Diane. I will have to try it with that substitute. I can imagine it on both cole slaw and potato salad. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your helpful comment.
