Anyone else strongly associate psychedelics with eggs? I've done shrooms 12 times and acid 3 times, as well as 2c-b once, and every single time I had egg-related visuals/thoughts and a craving for hard boiled eggs. (This is actually a bit of a problem because I can't digest the lactose in eggs, so it makes the indigestion from psychedelics worse).

I've developed an intense interest in egg from these trips and am considering going back to college for agriculture (I want to start a free range organic egg farm). It also helped me accept that I am gay because of the association of eggs with females. During my first trip, which had extremely intense and incessant egg imagery, I realized that the egg symbolizes menstruation and pregnancy, elements of the female body that are extremely important but not sexually attractive. I understood this to mean that I could find fulfilment in my life without being sexually attracted to women.

Of course there are many more layers of meaning to the symbol of the egg, just like there are many physical layers of the egg itself. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" vs. "goose egg" -- egg as everything and nothing. Similarly, "bad egg" vs. "golden egg". "The chicken and egg problem" -- the endless paradoxical loop of causality. You don't want to have "egg on your face", but it's helpful to "egg someone on", although you shouldn't "egg someone's house". Does anyone else associate a specific kind of food, or object, with their psychedelic trips?

Did you know eggs come from chickens
I wanted to try this game as a kid but I never got around to it. Was it any good?
Also why is a little boy living among chicken people

If I remember this correctly, Egghead (played by the awesome Vincent Price) was one of only two villains in the 60s series Batman who ever learned Batman was Bruce Wayne. (the other was King Tut, but he got bonked on the head and forgot).

I've heard a pot of different opinions on it from people I know. I think it's one of those love it or hate it games.
 
Speaking of eggs and China, there is a food in China called the Century Egg which is basically just fermented egg. It looks disgusting.

That's not really fermented, because the strong chemicals used basically kill anything in it. Fermentation is usually a biological process involving bacteria.
 
Copypaste apparently ate one and said it was alright.
Not so much the flavour, but I'm just not that keen on eating something where I can tell what it is. There's a fish here that can pretty much be eaten whole, but I always cut off their heads because I don't like the idea of eating its brain, eyes or teeth.

I will now confess that I cannot stand eggs and I try eating them every few years but nope, not happening. I am sad about this only because my mother made the most amazing looking Spanish omelettes and I am told I make wonderful scrambled eggs. But I find the egg fascinating since it is eaten in pretty much every culture and has so many interesting creation stories attached to it, it's so interesting that it is so culturally important.
 
ovo is also what eggs are called in Esperanto (plural ovoj).

The French word for egg is œuf.

Duck egg's are delicious, and if you ever get a chance to try them pheasant egg's are just as delicious.
