To feel absolutely disgusted eating eggs

[Mummy2022FT]

I love eggs made any way and this is why this upsets me.

But this morning (and has happened many times before) I was eating egg on toast for breakfast and half way through eating I was like ERRRR because I then realised what eggs actually are.

Anyone else?

No

TBF if you think about what you’re eating with any animal-derived product, it’s pretty gross. Even wearing leather is pretty weird. I love meat and eggs and cheese so I just make sure I don’t think about it. 🤷‍♀️

Nope

Love eggs

What are eggs actually?

YANBU. I love eggs, but also have recently been having the same thoughts as you...

Eggs are the period of a hen

Even typing that made me 🤢

Yes, this has been me forever, even when I was a child. I have long periods where I can't eat eggs because they disgust me.

I tend to be ok with them in cooking (cakes and so on) but not always.

Nope. Doesn’t bother me. I know what they are.

Well I never thought they came from Mars so no I have no issue eating them

No.

Doesnt bother me.

Why? It’s not like the contents of a mooncup have been poured onto your toast. You’re equating it with human periods. It’s not the same.

Well no, it’s not a chicken’s “period” because chickens do not menstruate. They’re not mammals, they’re avians, so they do not have a menstrual or oestrus cycle.

But I do understand that some people might be weirded out eating an egg. Personally I’ve never been able to touch a hard-boiled or deviled egg due to the smell alone, and the texture doesn’t help either.

Anyone else?

Nope

YABU

I don’t eat them. I’m vegetarian but actually I’d rather eat a steak than an egg now…they make cakes taste nice but once you’ve got the ick over eggs it stays with you. 🤢

Doesn’t bother me and I think this is an unnecessary thread title. Eggs are a (relatively) inexpensive source of protein that a lot of people rely on so it’s pretty U to suggest they are disgusting on the basis of your personal squeamishness.

(I appreciate that cheap eggs are awful for the welfare of hens and some people might describe their concerns on that count as disgust…seems like a separate issue though)

No, I think that my life would be so much poorer without egg mayonnaise sandwiches in it.

It's not the same as a human period and it's weird to make out it is- and if it were, why are you going on about how disgusting it is, periods are not disgusting, they are just facts that occur.

Eggs are super clever packages of nutrients in a shell to make sure that if fertilized the embryo will have all it needs. That's what makes it nutritious to consume.

If you weren't going to eat them for welfare reasons, or because you don't like the texture, but all the period crap, just stop it!

No they're delicious

Eggs are gross.

I don't know how anyone can eat egg mayonnaise as it smells repulsive.

Honey is bee spit.

I like eggs and honey and eat both regularly. If I dwelt too much on exactly where the food came from I wouldn't eat anything.

On the whole I prefer to eat food that hasn't been buggered about by humans in a factory and filled with god knows what additives or gone through some weird ultra processing.

Yes they are super gross and disgusting. Not to mention even the "free range" ones are cruelly produced.

Yep. I'm a vegetarian rather than a vegan but my goodness I think eggs are disgusting. I've tried substituting silken tofu in some recipes. It's not a particularly good substitute but at least it means I'll eat it.

All the crap that is sold as food these days and you start on eggs

No its not! You clearly failed at biology. Do you also think that milk the sperm from a cow? 😂

Don't look up balut then if you find an unfertilised egg so disturbing.
