The whole egg risk got out of proportion in the press even at it's worst only one egg in several thousand would contain Salmonella now it's even less. However - choose an egg with Salmonella in it, -mix it with 100 others into a mayonnaise -leave it overnight in the kitchen because the bowl didn't fit the fridge -use it to make coleslaw and potato salads -leave the mayo and salads in the kitchen for another night -put them out on a buffet at 0900 in a warm marquee - serve the wedding reception with the same at 1500.
