Hopefully her lack of reaction to the 'lactose' will let her know that eggs are safe for her.

There is the term "dairy cows".  Not dairy eggs.  I hope she clears this up for  herself, and it was very kind of you to offer her the cookies.

Did she suffer any repercussions from the egg whites?

With some people, it wouldn't matter how much proof you offered them.

 

People often have fixed, incorrect ideas in their heads and nothing will convince them otherwise.

 

I suspect this lady is one of them.

Yes. Some people believe that eggs are a dairy product. 

Some people believe that pickles grow in the ocean. 

That tofu is a mushroom.

List goes on.

They are called Sea Pickles.  I know  you've heard of them.

Not that kind of pickle. I'm talking about dill pickles in a jar. Some people think they come from the ocean.

I never said this weird encounter was of the third kind. It was just an everyday weird encounter.

I doubt it.  I would think if you had a real lactose intolerance you would know which foods were safe to eat or not.

 

Who knows?  I normally would have argued and tried to convince her but wasn't in the mood.  I had to try to keep myself from laughing.  Maybe she'll figure it out.
