My only fear
with that is that you may end up with undercooked eggs in your efforts to avoid scrambled eggs with spaghetti, and I know it's slightly irrational as very few eggs contain salmonella in the first place, but i'd always have that worry.

Personally, I like adding cream to my scrambled eggs so the idea of putting cream in my carbonara isn't filling me wiht revulsion, actually, I usually use creme fraiche, partly because I'm posh and partly becuase I like the slightly sour tang it has.

Also, I like your point about free range eggs. Personally, I do care about chickens and make a point of avoiding battery eggs and chicken, but I also like chicken and battery chicken doesn't taste half as good as free range. I'm not evangelical though, I'm not going to refuse to eat food someone has made me or anything like that, I wouldn't even bother asking, I just buy my chicken from the nice butchers rather than the stuff from sainsburys.
