Eggs in one's beer?

I was just watching season 2 of The Wire, and the dock workers have for breakfast a glass of beer with a raw egg inside... has anybody tried this? The concept seems rather odd to me.

Maybe it sounds weird if you're a sissy.

This is a proper Baltimore breakfast.

I like raw eggs and I like beer. The thought of the two sounds disgusting. But then again pisco sours are pretty good...

Where did you people grow up? It's a great hang over drink, except they should have added some Tabasco sauce and/or tomato juice.

I imagine the texture would be really, really awful, with the carbonation and the egg?

Texture? You just slam the entire glass. No time to deal with "texture," you just down it as fast as you can.

It's generally done with Guiness anyway, so the carbonation is a bit more smooth from the nitrogen.

I think it has its roots in Industrial Revolution-era Irish immigrants.
