I don't think people do eat turtle eggs but it slipped out before I could stop it and I'm leaving it there.

why wouldn't most/all eggs be edible?

― sonore (sonore), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:19 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand people who make omelettes using only the white of the egg. I expect it's because they are following some weird diet plan or something, but it seems ludicrous.

― C J (C J), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:19 (twenty years ago)

I only eat the white of a fried egg because the yolk gives me the horrors.

I can happily eat scrambled egg or omelette though. Weirdo.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:22 (twenty years ago)

An omelette from an Ostrich egg makes enough to feed, like, ten people!

I'm a bit squeamish about anything other than hen's eggs, for some inexplicable reason. I'm sure ostrich eggs or quail's eggs etc are perfectly tasty, but just the thought of it puts me off. I don't know why.

I'm not even particularly keen on Cadbury's Creme Eggs, now I think about it.

― C J (C J), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:27 (twenty years ago)

Ostrich eggs are kind of rubbery. But that could have been just the way they were cooked.

― The Late Fear And The Potato Fear (kate), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:28 (twenty years ago)

Do they taste the same as chicken eggs?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:30 (twenty years ago)

...I can't remember... it was a long time ago. Probably similar.

― The Late Fear And The Potato Fear (kate), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:33 (twenty years ago)

eggs are blee.

― the kit! (g-kit), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:37 (twenty years ago)

blee? Is that a bit higher up the scale than bleh?

― C J (C J), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:46 (twenty years ago)

Is it pronounced like 'glee'?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:50 (twenty years ago)

If eggs are all pretty much the same taste wide, why don't we eat turkey eggs?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Friday, 27 January 2006 10:50 (twenty years ago)

people in the midwest say "aiygs" instead of "eggs"

dinosaur eggs. alien eggs!

I only eat the white of a fried egg because the yolk gives me the horrors.

You do know it's the white that would form the chick in a fertilised egg and the yolk that's its food?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 27 January 2006 11:08 (twenty years ago)

Gurk. Thanks a million. (Is it 'cause the yolk's yellow I thought it was chick?)

I'll still have to train myself to like it though.

I shall never be able to eat another boiled eggy-egg again now.

Cadbury's Creme Eggs is on some HORRAH shit, viscous like oldschool toothpaste, and i BET somewhere over there in the UK the trend of deep frying them is poppin off like prolapse. 'Top job', chaps.
Regular eggs was a popular food and it still is, but most of the time now it feels counterproductive to eat just eggs, for the surface area they take up on the plate with the blandness - it's mostly just there to lubricate the meat portion. Honestly I prefer chocolate croissants, some milk, FILETED orange quarters (i'm like lightning), and all my wonderful and excessive presCRIPTIONS! I feel like loungin' today, how aboot you?

And the oranges have to be COLD. Warm fruit feels slow and unspectacular going down. Get one tooth enamel wimps.

Did we not have this conversation a while ago, and wonder if frogspawn was edible? Or it might have been on ilc.

― Vicky (Vicky), Friday, 27 January 2006 12:14 (twenty years ago)

Frogspawn was my FAP in London...

Are you being mischievous, Aldo? The chick, if I remember rightly, springs forth from a small dish attached to the yolk, a couply of millimetres across. The white is just the fluid that supports and protects the yolk and chick.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 27 January 2006 12:32 (twenty years ago)

No, I'm not just being mischievous. The white is the cytoplasm, the yolk is the food source. I mean you're technically correct the germinal disc is the actual beginning of the embryo, but the white fills the cells of the chick.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 27 January 2006 12:37 (twenty years ago)

Are you being mischievous, Aldo?

Why yes, Mr. Belvedere.

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Friday, 27 January 2006 12:44 (twenty years ago)

i would love to have quail eggs.

― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:12 (twenty years ago)

I've had hardboiled quail eggs (available canned in well-stocked Asian markets); apart from size they were not significantly different from hen's eggs.

Re. frogspawn: could this be the amphibian counterpart to caviar/roe/fish eggs?

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:38 (twenty years ago)

I had salmon eggs for lunch.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:44 (twenty years ago)

Why can't you buy turkey eggs in stores?

― phil d. (Phil D.), Friday, 27 January 2006 14:47 (twenty years ago)

Eggs (just the regular chicken kind) is one of those foods that if I think about it too much I find myself losing my appetite for it. But I just don't think about it too much, and they're fine - I prefer them well-cooked not runny (whether scrambled, boiled, or in omelettes), though I don't mind the occasional runny fried egg served "huevos rancheros" style.

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 27 January 2006 15:17 (twenty years ago)

fifteen years pass...

Okay, I'm pretty into steam-hardboiled eggs right now.

Put them in the steamer basket for 15 minutes (4 or 5 at a time), and then run cold water on them for a few minutes. They peel so easy, like those sumo tangerines.

Salmon roe (eggs) FTW.

Duck eggs are available, but they do need to be thoroughly cooked because of an increased risk of salmonella.
