Egg Thread

Eggs are just amazing. I keep chickens and there's nothing like hen butt fresh eggs for breakfast.

Any breed in particular? Or are you doing the Battery hen rescue thing?

I've got a few rescued batteries. I've also got some Light Sussex's and a couple of crossbreed bantams. I have a bantam cockerel who's only six months old but I'm hoping we might have some chicks in the spring if he gets his act together.

One thing I used to do to get a reluctant cock in a pheasant pen to perform was some worms in his diet, you can also get the same result with meal worms.

Also nice choice with the Light Sussex's dude hardly breed.

@Ravenor Yea they're pretty bulletproof although one of them is a little off her legs at the moment and may end up as a roast dinner if she doesn't get any better. Ah well these things happen.

I love chickens I owned a couple of AMAZING chickens growing up. I miss those girls so much. It's my dream to have a chicken coop and get a few little ones. Not sure what breed, but probably something small.
Unfortunately, we are apartment dwellers hopefully we will eventually buy a house or an apartment building. I prefer living in an apartment for most things but damn, I really want chickens.

Anyway, I cooked the duck eggs in the sous vide. I set it at 147F, which is what we cook chicken eggs at, even though the duck eggs are a bit bigger. To my surprise the yolk is actually denser and thicker than what the chicken eggs come out like. It's very thick, thicker than a typical custard. I prefer a runnier yolk so I think I might set the temperature a little lower next time. But overall, very good. Not my pic but it's pretty much what they look like.

Europa, a moon of Jupiter, kind of resembles a giant cracked spherical egg, with a "yolk" of an ocean underneath the (ice) shell. Like an eggshell, the surface is more or less flat.

If you REALLY want to push to boat out and try duck egg's at there very best:
3 - 4 slices of dry cured bacon
500g of Elvers.
1 Duck Egg.
1 Knob of unsalted butter.
Freshly Cracked black pepper an bread optional.

Fry the dry cure bacon in a pan till nice an crispy, take the bacon out of the pan and toss in the Elvers an add the butter fry for maybe 1 min 30 - 2 min take them out and put them on top of the bacon fry the egg an put on top of the Elvers, Sprinkle a little bit of black pepper on the top.

I haven't had that in over 10 years but it's a breakfast I used to love on cold mornings in collage because Elvers are getting harder and harder to come by (thanks China) and the only way to get a regular supply when they are in season is to deal with poachers and I can't be having with that on a personal level. In the states they are more freely available but don't go overboard as Eel's are getting rare.

OMG I LOVE EGGS

While I can't claim them to be my favorite food, almost everything I cook myself involves them. Eggs are so cheap and easy to cook with, it's my bachelor chow. Breakfast food in general is simple and I'll end up making various breakfast versions of things. Like for ramen I'll chuck in in turkey bacon, mushrooms, hot peppers, and mix in a barely-cooked egg halfway through while it's still boiling.


Breakfast burritos are also a staple meal now at least twice a week. This is one I did with steak.

As stupid as this sounds, DarkSidePhill had a short lived series "Poorly Cooking with the King" that I actually liked. Phil makes a bunch of simple often breakfast-based-foods while being brutally honest over the fact that he sucks. As a guy that also can't cook for shit I found his videos surprisingly useful. Phil doesn't just look like an egg, he loves them too!

Burrito

You inspired me to also make a dank breakfast.

Egg, turkey bacon, fresh sliced jalapeno and cheddar cheeses.

I'm allergic to eggs. As an allergy-kin/trans-allergic I request that this thread be removed due to the high levels of allergic-phobia, and that all involved should check their histamine privilege and perhaps discuss other foods which don't trigger those with allergies.

Eggs are nasty yo

Has anyone tried raw egg over rice? I want to but I'm scared of getting salmonella LOL

 

[melty]

@uwuwu, I haven't tried that dish, but from what I've heard salmonella is kind of overhyped and mostly effects old people and little kids or people with really bad immune systems. I eat raw or lightly cooked eggs all the time and I make homemade mayo with raw eggs. Definitely keep the eggs refrigerated before you use them

You can actually get pasteurized eggs for things like this. They sell them for ice cream, among other things.

Most salmonella isn't inside the egg anyway. It's on the outside of the shell and only gets you if that contaminates what's inside.

It's always egg in Philadelphia.

A small montage of videos on the topic of egg sucking.

The real beauty of this video is summed up perfectly by an esteemed YouTube commenter.
"I absolutely LOVE the wretched, putrid stench of my own raunchy, wet farts. When I experience these wonderful, heavenly aromas, I feel as though I am transported to another world entirely. I so wish that I could bottle my delicious farts, so I can enjoy them at a moment's notice. I love my farts so much..."
-Enus Wankerblaster

This next one is a scene from Until Dawn, a game I would highly recommend to anyone with a PS4.

And finally, if you wish to see actual egg sucking in action, I have a video to appease you as well.

Eggs (literally) taste like shit most of the time, and the only thing they've ever done for me is being a key ingredient in most baked goods. Other than that, I don't bother.

Go suck an egg, heathen.
