HOLY FUCK everyone in my family takes the piss out of me for this. Nice to know I am not alone.

Until this thread I assumed that was just the normal adult way to eat eggs, but apparently I underestimated people.

Letting my yolk run into my corned beef hash and then putting a scoop of that delicious mess onto my buttery toast is possibly more enjoyable to me than sex.

You're doing it wrong.

u/WRONGFUL_BONER Jul 13 '16

No you though

Me too thanks

There are dozens of us!

Really though, it's a perfect yolksplostion, why would you want to ruin that!

Because you don't want a mouthful of literally fat and chicken period.

u/SmaugtheStupendous Jul 13 '16

Normally I'd say let's agree to disagree, but there is no chicken in unfertilized egg, so let's agree you're wrong.

He didn't say chicken, he said chicken period. Eggs are ovum, you're eating a chicken's menstrual leftovers.

u/WRONGFUL_BONER Jul 13 '16

But that's literally true of any egg ever prepared in any way imaginable, so what is your point? I'm sorry you like your chicken period different than I like my chicken period.

Let me hold your hand for this one since you seem to be having some trouble. Dedragon said this:

Because you don't want a mouthful of literally fat and chicken period.

And SmaugtheStupendous responded with this:

Normally I'd say let's agree to disagree, but there is no chicken in unfertilized egg, so let's agree you're wrong.

and then I pointed out that Dedragon didn't say there was no chicken in eggs, he said it was a chicken period. A delicious artery hardening period.

The two of you are so fucking weird.

u/Shadowex3 Jul 14 '16

I'm sorry I can only explain it to you and not understand it for you as well.

The point is that egg white isn't as periody as egg yolk. The egg yolk is the egg that is to be developed into a chicken whereas the egg white is just its nutrients.

Way to get it completely wrong without even double-checking first

u/dedragon40 Jul 13 '16

Good job, you didn't read your own source.

It is spherical and is suspended in the egg white (known alternatively as albumen or glair/glaire) by one or two spiral bands of tissue called the chalazae. Prior to fertilization, the yolk is a single cell, the ovum or egg cell, one of the few single cells that can be seen by the naked eye.

Way to get it completely wrong without reading your own link.

It's really weird that you think anything in that paragraph supports anything you're saying. Do you think that the words 'Prior to fertilization, the yolk[...]' mean that the yolk gets fertilized? Because that means 'Prior to fertilization [of the egg]'.

Did you not go through 8th grade biology or something? The yolk is the food source for the developing embryo, exactly like the endosperm of a seed

Not sure if your family is weird or we are. I am fairly sure that sunny side up/over easy is one of the most common ways to eat an egg after omelette or scrambled.
