Yes, it is time to discuss the age-old question: Chicken or eggs?

Personally, I'm more of a chicken guy. Fried chicked, or grilled, doesn't matter, although I prefer barbeque. Eggs for me have to be scrambled, slightly runny, excluding omelettes.

(Alternatively, we could discuss the OTHER age-old question of which came first: chicken or egg, in which case I would have to answer that undoubtedly God created two chickens, which spread and populated the world with their chicken offspring...unless, of course, the egg came first. ;) )

Egg. And no, not "dino egg", specifiacallly chicken egg. Also, I like fried chicken.

I really prefer beef honestly......
As for the other question, egg came first; as no one said it was a chicken egg.:p

chicken... lightly coated with egg and fried.

I think God created two roosters and then created a baby female chick for them to adopt.

well, chicken is very tasty as i recally, but i'm a vegetarian now, so i've got to say eggs.

As for which came first; i say we make a time machine and find out.

Egg is more versatile I think.. As long as it needn't be the main ingredient.. Ommelettes of course, but also cake, mouse, merangues etc..

Chicken. I never liked egg.

actally it was the Chicken that was identified first. any chicken after that is from a chicken egg.

Chicken Pot Pie, all the way.

I can't stomach eggs.

Seriously, how did people start eating eggs? Some guy standing around, watches the egg pop out behind a chicken and says:

"Hey! Look what fell out of that bird's arse! I'll bet it's delicious... and let's just forget the success of this plan with dogs and horses...."

:eek:

It doesn't stop being a chicken egg because we don't call it one.

Mmmm...I like that! But unfortunately, there can be NO MIDDLE GROUND, my friend! You are either all chicken or all egg, I'm afraid :p

Yeah, the more you think about it, the more disturbing it gets, really.
"So, this is the menstrual product of a chicken, eh? Betcha can't eat just one!"

:( There really is no up-side....

Well, unless you count that they're tasty when properly prepared. That's been the best excuse to eat strange things since the dawn of man.

never had an Oyakudonburi then.

Mmmm... Lunch is calling me... and I think I know what to eat today. :D

:( There really is no up-side....

You mean...it's actually sunny side down?

Of course the egg came first. Two chickens didn't just appear and shit out an egg. Dinosaurs laid eggs and later some had feathers.

Before the chicken there was the egg, before the egg there was the primordial ooze!

Pork? :p

does anyone else see the problem with the poll? Namely that eggs people eat are unfertilized, and no unborn animal is inside?

Tell me its not so! But chickens are pure! Surely they did not "evolve"? This is blasphemy!

You know that chicken eggs actually come out perfectly clean?

Yes, I had noticed that problem earlier, myself--the OP needs to get on the ball on these things, really! This is a very serious matter, my friends--to arms!

That doesn't change the fact that what you're eating is the product of an animal's menstrual process.

Indeed! Fetch the pitchforks and torches!

actually if you look very closely, you see that white glob attached to the yoke? guess what that is.

it may be unfertilized... but it's still an unborn chick.

...Yeah....But it's one that'll never be born even if we didn't eat it.

which will still make it an Unborn chick right? :D :D

As opposed to eating the animal itself, the product of two other animals mating process?

Possibly, but technically without the other portion of genetic material...

Neither the chicken nor the egg came first. They came together, damnit! Allah pointed at the ground, muttered some Arabic jibberish, then an unholy alliance chicken and egg sprang forth! Imagine it, an egg with wings, feet, and the head of a chicken. Twice the pretzel in one pretzel, my friends.

Not the case. That's a structure within the egg called a chalaza, and most eggs should have two. They serve to anchor the yolk in the center. Incidentally, fresher eggs have more prominent chalaza.

And unfertilized egg is no more an unborn chick than a chicken sperm is.

I've been wondering about that. Now, I can lay my spirit to rest.

Most people's conditional upbringing raises more discomfort with the eating of menstruation than of eating a formerly living thing.

Glad to be of service :-D ~bow~

mmm....chicken....

Damn, I'm hungry. :(

Egg is in cake, muffins, ommelette, pie, Yorkshire puddings, fried egg (duh), Haribo, chocolate mousse, souffle, blancmange, nougat, biscuits and meringue. Chicken is in chicken, that's all. I could live without chicken, but the egg, well that's like a miracle food!

Eggs are more versatile...I only like chicken fried or grilled, and only breast.

The versatility of any food is limited only by imagination.
