At the risk of making you all crave it.....its the egg thing im worried about.

The way I make it, all the eggs are cooked - the eggs in the lemon curd bit are cooked on the stove and then in the oven, and the eggs in the meringue are cooked too, so you should be fine And now I am craving it!

I don't know, but I remember some threads on here saying runny eggs are OK as long as they've got the British Lion mark....
Sorry - just read this back and it's not very helpful, but..... maybe someone will know.

The eggs are all cooked in a lemon meringue pie. (Yum my favourite!) I'm sure it would be fine.

The lemon part is fully cooked, but depends on how you make the meringue - my mom's recipe only involved a few minutes heating, so the meringue is pretty raw. If it's soft meringue, I'd say it's raw.

But if you have lion stamped eggs or pasteurized eggs, you'll be fine.

If you use pasteurized eggs for the meringue you are fine. Here in the states they offer pre-cracked and separated egg whites that are pasteurized, those are safe as well...sounds yumm enjoy!
