For what it's worth, Vitruvian, I don't do caviar or chicken eggs, either. I find 'em equally gross unless the eggs are invisible like in a cake or cornbread or something. Or wrapped up in a tortilla and smothered in picante, cheese, and sausage; almost as if the eggs were a condiment instead of the main dish. Even then, I have to put my mind in a happy place LOL Originally Posted by DannieI just can't understand that at all. Put an egg in a cake, and it is great, but give you an omelette, and you can't get over the fact that it is an egg? I just can't mentally "forget" that much myself.

I just can't understand that at all. Put an egg in a cake, and it is great, but give you an omelette, and you can't get over the fact that it is an egg? I just can't mentally "forget" that much myself.How did I know that the very first sentence I posted in this thread, would be ignored by you? I was just having a little fun. I can't explain to you why I feel the way I do, it just grosses me out. Simple enough?
Are you one of those people, who if you had to kill it, that you wouldn't be able to eat it? I grew up without much money, and I've raised many an animal that became dinner. I've raised chickens, pigs, turkeys, as well as most every type of vegetable and fruit that you can grow in the good ole US of A. It just is reality to me. Our bodies are designed to function best on a mix of both meat and vegetables. Our teeth are designed to deal with both.
So, how do you justify to yourself that something is great in one form, but in another is horrible? I could see if you might say I can't stand the taste of an egg, as the taste of an egg in a cake is highly disguised by many other ingredients, but I'm guessing that your argument has more to do with the fact that you can't get over that it is an unfertilized egg. You do realize that the egg isn't even the chicken, it is simply the food the embryo would eat once fertilized while it grows? So, in a sense the egg is chicken food, just like grain can be used for chicken food, except you'll eat the grain. So, why do you eat some chicken food, but not others? LOL
Not picking on you, just trying to understand how people that I run into that think this way, do think this way. Originally Posted by 69er

Simple enough?Oh, I got the first sentence. I guess you are just taking my little questions very personally. Perhaps you need to read your own first sentence, and then our postings. I wasn't showin 'tude, don't know why you are gettin bent. Won't bother you again...
Go ahead and give up on trying to understand it, and just take it at face value. Some things gross us out more than others, and WALDT. Originally Posted by Dannie
