Abbott's Frozen Custard. A delicious, creamy product that implies 'unsafe' and 'unpasteurized'. See their website here: http://www.abbottscustard.com/
I feel SO much safer when a food manufacturer answers several questions with one word: "yes". The question :"Are your frozen custard products pasteurized? Are they safe for pregnant women?"
See, here was a great opportunity to say "Yes, our products are 100% pasteurized. All products are made from pasteurized eggs and milk and we regularly clean the production equipment in order to assure a clean environment. In fact we will be adding this question to our FAQ so that others can receive similar information".
Which is a better answer?
When I make custard I make it from egg yolks, cream, sugar, vanilla bean. It's cooked but it certainly isn't cooked to temperature- because if it was I'd have scrambled eggs and cream- and then I ladle on sugar up top and blowtorch it until it's nice and crystalized/melted.
The two of us raked the yard yesterday; neighbor's kid asked us where our kids were. He's 3. We told him we didn't have any... so he asked if they were at school or 'grandma's. Heh. Liz didn't want to confuse him by saying in her belly :)
Our neighbors don't know yet... yet....
