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. but my eggs get thoroughly cleaned (first multisurface wipes to get rid of any gunk, then rinsed with soap and water) before they go anywhere near my egg basket

Vegetarian here. Absolutely cannot eat an egg!! Gives me the ick!
Can’t look at a raw one either. Feel a bit gaggy if I do

And some women choose to eat their placenta

Isn't that just going to remove the egg's natural protection? Quite apart from the plastic waste and the batshittery of polishing one's eggshell...

An egg I had recently had been laid in some fresh horse shit.

That an egg is a period?

Different is one word I suppose

No they are not

Wind your neck in

Bit over the top

I don't like to think about them too much whilst I'm eating them. I think my issue came from having children and seeing a fetus develop with a yolk sack then egg yolks.

I do get really put off if they have the 'blood bit' in the yolk. What is that anyway? Does that mean that the egg has been fertilised?

I am so ignorant regarding eggs! I remember being really excited to try my first duck egg fresh from the farm... Didn't like it 🤣

I have never liked eggs, I’ve never given a thought to where they come from, but I can’t stand the smell, taste the texture etc. Same goes for products made with egg or I can tell it is egg, a.k.a. mayonnaise etc.

Chickens don’t menstruate. They don’t have a uterus.

To feel absolutely disgusted eating egg

I’m absolutely disgusted by the stupidity.

Another thread full of people dramatically announcing they don’t like a food. No one cares.

Eating eggs is like running off the cliff in a cartoon.

You must never look down.

Why? What's wrong with how an egg looks?

It's not a period fgs, it's an egg.

No, my chickens like to be thanked for the eggs (they gift them to us and complain if we don't thank them) and it's only right to eat them. Don't see the problem

No it doesn’t. And yet someone brought it up so I responded. HTH

I thought it was eggs vs vegan protein sources, nothing to do with meat?

Why? What's wrong with how an egg looks

I meant more along the lines of 'never question WHAT you are doing

Chickens don't have periods. How eggs are made and where they come from has never bothered me but I think they're revolting in most forms as food.

I don't cook - and won't allow others to cook- most forms of egg in my house. Fried, poached, coddled, baked scrambled, boiled or hardboiled are all banned. The vile stink is intolerable and the resultant messes repulse the rest of my senses too. The line seems to be the forn they're in after cooking as I bake with them, and use them for egg washing and mixing in to things as a binding agent but they don't have that awful smell or texture in these dishes. My grandma and female cousin feel the same but my mum & aunt can eat them fine so maybe there's a genetic component?

The last time someone hopefully asked for a fried egg in my house I told them they were welcome to do it themselves and clean up afterwards - with all the windows open, once I was sat in the garden!

I think eggs are quite a long way from the ‘never question what it actually is’ end of foodstuffs.

The only times I can eat eggs without gagging is in a scotch egg, or dipping things into the yolk (leaving the white)

the white bit makes me feel sick, the texture makes me feel grim.

Agreed. I can happily eat an egg while thinking about what it is. Most nutrition comes from the yolk which is the nutrition source for a developing chick if fertilised. It makes a lot of sense to eat it!

This is true. I'm not vegetarian but have trued meat substitutes in the past and they triggered my IBS.

How can anyone who feels like that, not realise the process of meat and how cruel and dick that is?

That will reduce the protective coating and reduce the storage time. They will need to be kept in the fridge.
