eggs!

egging me on

I can't really be held responsible for the timer breaking though can I?

Ughh - I can't eat eggs. I can't get round where they come from, which is a shame as a fried egg sandwich looks like the nicest thing ever. Sometimes I can eat scrambled eggs until my broken brane kicks in a remembers what I'm eating and it makes me feel so ill, I have to move them onto someone else's plate or I will ralph. Truth.

Stoopid brane

What's the most exotic egg on the market? Presumably Dodo eggs have been off the menu for a while. In fact, let's not include anything pre-historic.

I had a gulls egg at St John's bread and wine. It was ridiculously expensive (5 quid for a tiny egg), had the most disturbing stage-blood purple-red yoke, and tasted a bit funny in a sort of hints of ammonia way. I won't be ordering them again.

But on the plus side I now can answer questions like this

Human?

Human?

You don't see dogs' eggs on the street much any more do you?

I wonder if anyone's ever eaten a pelican, or penguin egg? Oh, owls - they might be nice. Or any endangered birds, like peregrine falcons, vampire bats or maybe that big old woman from Britain's Got Talent.

huevos divorciados - 2 fried eggs divided by a mound of black beans, with sour cream and salty white cheese on top of the beans, fresh tacos, and each egg nestling in a pool of chili sauce - one red tomatoey kind and one green herby one....

tortillas and fritattas an' that...

mind you they can have the Marmite love/hate effect on the same person ... there are moments when I can't think of anything I'd rather eat than an egg, but others when the smell of others eating boiled/fried eggs gives me involuntary dry heaves (and I don't drink so it's not hangover-related.)

There is no excuse for eating egg-mayonnaise sandwiches in any public space. ever.

haven't really eaten any exotic eggs, but all of that hippy cr*p about happy hens making better eggs really is true - my aunt's got some in her back garden and those eggs are just a totally different product to even the ponciest most expensive organic retail eggs. they're just .... eggier.

Horrible. Taste and smell like metal farts.

or a galvanised guff?

I think eggs are fucking disgusting, but just about tolerable, and I only eat them for the protein. It's not like I get displeasure from eating them, it's just that I don't get any pleasure from eating them, they have no interesting flavour, no bite, nothing appealing at all.

I dislike omlettes less than any other sort of basic eggy preparation.... here's my scale from 'dislike considerably' to 'absolutely hate'

DISLIKE CONSIDERABLY
omlette
fried egg (soft yolk)
scrambled egg
baked egg (soft yolk)
poached egg (soft yolk)
boiled egg (soft yoklk)
any egg with hard yolk
ABSOLUTELY HATE

There's nothing eco friendly or organic about being vegan at all. The chemicals and energy that go into making replacements for necessary nutrients that are naturally available must be ridiculous.

Hah, what, like lentils, nuts, seeds and chickpeas?
