Yep, I remember snitchin a little taste of
raw cookie dough as a child in the 60s, straight thru my young married days. (Thats why
Cookie Dough ice cream is so popular today!) Around the time my kid was born in the 80s, they had started telling us how dangerous "licking the bowl" is. Its the EGGS! The eggs are dangerous to consume raw (or raw-ish) because chicken pathogens are INSIDE the chicken eggs. Different pathogens than in the 60s/70s, they say.
