I'd be worried about cultural appropriation.

Radishes carry a listeria risk. You can eat them at home if you wash them well I suppose (I would not), but I would def not order them out. You can eat egg, but you want to be careful of things prepared in egg because they can be undercooked. For the brisket in egg, the egg isn't the only problem though -- you're not supposed to eat brisket or any kind of smoked meat while pregnant. The exception is if you cook it yourself and verify that the meat was cooked to the correct internal temperature (160-165 degrees). So I'd avoid this dish entirely if you are pregnant.

I'm the one who asked. How did I bring three healthy children into this world and not know this? The only listeria risk I ever heard about was deli meet and unpasteurized cheese.

My youngest was born in 2005 and back then we were told to avoid deli meat because of listeria. The reality is more people get listeria from the salad bar than from deli meat. I guess the current guidance is no raw vegetables? These guidelines do change a lot. Just do the best you can.

The guidelines don’t recommend avoiding raw fruits and vegetables. PP is just being paranoid.

The guidelines I received from my OB's office do say no raw vegetables unless you know they are washed well. So I avoid salad bars (e.g places like Chopt, Sweetgreen, etc.) or anything takeout that is not cooked (not doing restaurants b/c of COVID anyway). I figured this was kind of the norm.
