What is water glass?

It's a solution of pickling lime and water to preserve fresh eggs. 4 level TBSP of lime to one quart filtered water. Put in food grade container and add fresh, clean, unwashed eggs as wanted. I've been doing it for years

How is it clean if unwashed?

Too old apparently. I had read you could keep pickled eggs in the fridge for about 4 months. I really thought they would last much longer. I had some I had pickled last summer when I went into one of my “boiling eggs like a madman episodes” and decided to eat some a few days ago. I ate 3 and my pup at 3. They tasted fine, smelled fine, went down fine, but coming back out not so fine. We both got sick.
It was a first for my pup, though. He normally in my floor from eating non-food type things, but this time I plainly saw egg white in the middle of the bile.
It’s okay, though, I think we bonded even more being sick together.

An egg that has no poop or mud on it is clean
