BakerAunt.Are left over Easter eggs safe to eat?
[See the full post at: Daily Quiz for April 22, 2019]
Well--We all survived in my family....
I missed it but we never got sick either.
The food safety questions on Mondays are intended to deal with recommended safety practices, which I'm sure I haven't always followed, either.
I can recall two times when while hiding Easter eggs we found eggs that had been hidden a year earlier. Needless to say, we handled them carefully and disposed of them.
But I'm also reminded of a cartoon, probably from The New Yorker, in a store where there's a jar of "100 Year Eggs" on the counter, and a customer is asking, "Are they fresh?"
We always counted the eggs, and only once did we not find one of them. Most of our egg hunts were inside, which probably helped with food safety, as we lived where the weather did not always cooperate, but the lost egg was outside at our cousins' house. It was found--not on Easter--the next year, and promptly thrown into the trash.
