The Prairie Oyster - Cowboy Bebop

There was an episode of a Japanese Anime called Cowboy Bebop that features a drink called a "Prairie Oyster" - a drink that is used as a hangover cure. The drink is special in that it features a raw egg-yolk - obviously meant as a way to provide nutrition to the hungover person to make them feel better. Anyway, i've been looking for official versions of the recipe and have found only four(one which i have tried to determine by watching the Anime). Obviously, for whatever version you try, you should always make sure to use FRESH eggs. (Especially for the Chow.com version that uses a WHOLE egg - as salmonella is more a problem for egg whites than egg yolks). Methods for drinking the prairie oyster also seem to differ.

For a slightly safer version, you can do what i would do, and take the Schumann version of the prairie oyster, and simply poach the egg yolk in simmering water (you can use a slotted spoon) for about 10 seconds (or to your liking). Then dig in with the spoon and enjoy!

From Drinkstreet.com:
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp tomato juice
1 whole egg yolk
2 dashes vinegar
1 dash pepper
Pour in order given into a wine glass, taking care not to break the yolk.
(Drinkstreet commentators suggest taking the entire drink in one gulp).

From American Bar - by Charles Schumann:
olive oil
1-2 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 egg yolk
salt, pepper
tabasco
worcestershire sauce
vinegar or lemon juice

Rinse a cocktail glass with olive oil, place ketchup in glass, carefully add egg yolk, and season. (Serve with a small spoon and a glass of ice water).
(Assumedly, Schumann is suggesting that you eat the concoction with the spoon).

From Cowboy Bebop:
1 egg yolk
tabasco
worcestershire sauce
pepper
1 oz of clear liquid (a bottle of gin is in the background, but he pours what appears to be bottled water).

layer the ingredients in an old-fashioned glass in order given. hold your nose and swallow in a single gulp. (of course, the clear liquid may be gin - so i suppose you could make it with any liquor at all).

From Chow.com:
1 whole egg
1 oz vodka
2 dashes vinegar
1 tsp worcestershire
1 tsp ketchup
2 dashes tabasco
pinch of salt and pepper

layer in order in an old-fashioned glass and drink in one gulp.
