Not nice...
But my mum always taught us not to eat the raw dough anyway!

Oh man, nasty..Thanks for posting it. We bought a couple of these in Manor past few years, thankgod we never ate it raw. I think? Blech

but the raw dough is always yummy -- ok at least when I was young - - it was safe to eat -- I managed to make it to 40 so far

Same here. When I was a kid, we waiting impatiently to lick the bowl that contained the raw batter .... and it never made us sick.

We used to call it the "fisherlikker" no idea where it came from!

But raw eggs used to be considered ok... egg nog etc. Not nowadays with salmonella and all...

It's amazing any of us survived our childhood what with eating raw cookie dough, lubing ourselves in Baby Oil and basting out in the summer sun, riding our bikes and roller skates with no helmets or padding. Wading in creeks barefoot, climbing trees with no safety harnesses, being gone for hours and hours unsupervised with no cell phones. We should have been doomed from the get-go marinating in wombs while our mothers continued to smoke their Benson & Hedges and slurp vodka martinis and get their hair dyed. Then they had the audacity to feed us out of bottles, not boobs, and transport us in vehicles with no car seats. Shocking that there are even any of alive between 35 and 55!

A bit of roughing up did no harm and some good I hope!
But they were the good ol' days...

Very poetic. Thank you!
