EGGS ARE NOT DAIRY

They just are not.

They come from CHICKENS (or ducks or whatever).

NOT COWS.

You fucking morons, ELC.

I am not being unreasonable.

Well

To be fair they say "There is also ...eggs"

Although that should be "There are also..."

So, for crimes against the English language YANBU

Trills · 22/06/2013 11:26

I think they are using "dairy" to mean "things the milkman might bring".

In which case they should really have a pint of orange juice in a milk bottle.

gordyslovesheep · 22/06/2013 11:27

well thing you may get delivered from a dairy includes eggs - milk people deliver eggs - it may mean Dairy in that context rather than 'made from milk'

OwlinaTree · 22/06/2013 11:28

I'm not sure which child plays putting the milk bottles out for the milkman. The same child that plays taking pop bottles back to the shop?

This is a First World problem.

Lucky you to have the ability to discuss such trivia Wink

OHforDUCKScake · 22/06/2013 11:30

Dairy people deliver orange juice too.

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 22/06/2013 11:30

They also mis-spelled velcro as "velco"

Shoddy.

DeathByTray · 22/06/2013 11:32

Velcro eggs are a good idea though.

I always smash mine to pieces.

I want some cheese now so YANBU for pointing out eggs are not dairy but YABU for making me hungry.

MotherOfNations · 22/06/2013 11:53

You are right ofcourse but many people use dairy to describe any animal derived product that isn't meat.

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 22/06/2013 12:03

Yup. If it isn't made from something squirted out of the tits of some sort of animal - it ain't dairy Grin

but tbf, how many lists lump eggs in with dairy? Loads. I can't count the number of times I've read meat, veg, eggs & dairy.

I think it's cos poultry periods don't fit onto any list so get lumped with dairy.

amazingmumof6 · 22/06/2013 12:12

just hilarious! and well spotted

YANBU op, eggs are not made of milk so not dairy.

limitedperiodonly · 22/06/2013 12:15

Things the milkman might bring is like a question they'd ask on .

Some idiot would panic and say 'eggs' or 'heroin' and Les Dennis would straightfacedly gesture at the board and say: 'Let's see what our survey said.'

OWW OWW

Trills · 22/06/2013 12:17

Things the milkman might bring - sperm!

limited thanks for link!Grin

1Veryhungrycaterpillar · 22/06/2013 12:50

My DS is allergic to dairy and the amount of people that have said 'Oh no eggs for you then' has surprised me

StealthPolarBear · 22/06/2013 12:54

"Yup. If it isn't made from something squirted out of the tits of some sort of animal - it ain't dairy "

Surely dairy just relates to cows?

limitedperiodonly · 22/06/2013 12:54

I loved Family Fortunes amazing. Doesn't Les Dennis look young and thin?

It's not idiotic to say eggs, but the problem with heroin is the police might be watching.

StealthPolarBear · 22/06/2013 12:54

Never thougbt I'd say this

I don't agree with hecate :o

ChaosTrulyReigns · 22/06/2013 12:55

NynaevesSister · 22/06/2013 14:18

Ha ha have same for other half? No dairy? So no eggs then. I actually once responded with I don't know what kind of scar-arse cows you have where you're from...

NynaevesSister · 22/06/2013 14:18

Scary-arse. Stupid auto correct.

attheendoftheday · 22/06/2013 15:06

Sooo, is goat's cheese dairy? I've always thought so but am now doubting myself.
