Eggs

[Mongrel]

I’ve tried cracking them on a flat surface and I just get squashed shell and the white and yolk going all over the place.

And ever since I learned that you use a piece of the shell to pick any, rare, fragments out I've just used the side of the bowl.
I've never found it a big issue at home

If you need to easily separate an egg, crack it into a slotted spoon.

Only if you don't break the yolk, like I tend to do.

It was presented as an alternative to buying an egg separator, since he doesn't like unitaskers in the kitchen.

That's awful! Unitaskia has a fine cuisine and a rich noble tradition of flavorful dishes!!

No wonder he doesn't want to talk about eggs; the February average price is an all-time record $5.897/dozen.

Egg Prices Plunge Nearly $2, Now Lower than When Trump Took Office

Prices have been steady here for a few weeks. Still $6.99/doz. for house-brand large white eggs. But there are some bargains under name brands. Hillandale medium white eggs are $3.59/doz. There are other brands from $3.99-$4.99.

I paid $3.93 ($2.73 US) a dozen large yesterday at my local Sobey's. There were others priced at up to $10 for free-range, organic,GMO free, brown. But the only difference I've ever found between these and the cheapest to buy is the price.

Well, if they were free range, the chickens weren't raised in boxes. That's kind of a not-cruel thing.

If they are organic, then the fertilizers and pesticides weren't toxic to the local ecosystem, washing poisons into waterways and all that.

You might not be able to tell the difference between a t-shirt made in a child labor sweatshop versus a more expensive Union made t-shirt with fair working conditions negotiated under collective bargaining, but it's still money well spent?

Chickens aren't people.

 

[Thermal]

Chickens aren't people.

And people don't need to be cruel.

Do you think toxic chemical runoff in waterways is a good idea? Cuz I don't.

And children in sweatshops... do you think they aren't people too?

What you pay often reflects how something was produced, and how the workers are treated. It's not a matter of chickens not being people. It's a matter of people being people.

Chickens aren't people.

But they taste the same.

 

[JayUtah]

But they taste the same.

You're just saying that because everything tastes like chicken.

But they taste the same.

As an unintentional auto-cannibal, I assure you they don't.
