Some other guy before was probably right when he said a lot of this weirder food was made up in lieu of anything else to eat. Paraphrasing from a book I don't remember, no one would eat a shark's fin unless someone was pinching the rest of the shark.
Of course, they were foraging those eggs instead of raising them, but it doesn't take a huge logical leap from "Bird lays these things we can eat" to "let's capture a bird, keep it in one place and eat everything it lays".
My mom grew up on a chicken farm. One of the things she told me about her childhood was the snakes in the henhouse. See, different snakes would get into the henhouse, poisonous and non poisonous varieties, and they wouldn't eat the chickens. They would get nice and comfy, coiled up under the nests and wait for the hens to lay eggs. Then the snakes would feast on the eggs. I always thought it was interesting that even though a chicken would offer a larger, more immediate meal, that the snakes knew to wait. That as long as they left the hens alone they would be able to eat the eggs at their leisure. Well, until my mom would discover them, and chop them up with a shovel. Something tells me that a lot of snakes got away with it, and my Mom believed this was the case too.
Don't know what that really has to do with anything. I guess I think snakes are neat? I like eggs too? Hmmm...
But these days they just cut the fins off and dump the rest of the shark into the ocean.
It seems like just about all chinese dishes are the "someone already took the good stuff" variety. They're eating duck tongues and chicken feet, don't they ever think about what happened to the rest of the bird?
My girlfriend did this her entire life. So nothing to be ashamed of. Then again, she's a girl.
Durian's ok. My only real objection to it is that you never know when it's gone bad.
Unless, of course, you've dipped testicles in it.
It's basically a big ball of practical joke. Kinda like people who put shrimp in the curtain rods or walls... it's something for the next tenant or the ex to discover.
Thanks for that. So much for scrambled eggs for breakfast.
My mom also had chickens as a kid and she's terrified of the damn things. A pissed-off chicken can fuck you up.
Drake is right, though, in recognizing how many animals like to go after eggs. Eggs are extremely nutritious and are one of the few good food sources for carnivores that don't fight back. It's like walking through the woods and finding a huge backpack full of energy bars and protein shakes just sitting there.
With the caveat, of course, that there might be a pissed-off mama bird somewhere in the immediate vicinity.
Well, I was kind of hoping this wasn't just a typo.
Congratulations, you won Phrase of the Day!
A chicken that is not a chicken, however, is simply hilarious.
I knew this was going to happen as soon as I submitted that post.

How do you get cream from a shrimp? Do they have tiny little udders?
...come to think of it, I have the same questions about almond milk.
You think that's confusing, how about milk of magnesia?
A sexy outfit would be a good start.
I dumped the hash browns on the eggs and bacon and mixed them up. After seeing the eggs brown a little, I dumped them into a bowl with some ketchup and A-1 (salt and spices and cold to cool it off). It was delicious but I wish I had cooked more.

This is what killed people living in the 1940s off. Cup of coffee and a can of hash was the 'Domino's Fudge dessert pizza' of their day.
How'd those jerks stay so thin then?
Their fruit juices and breads were made of fruit and wheat and not High Fructose Corn Syrups.
Oh, and they all smoked a lot, too. Smoke yourself thin, America! It's our only hope.
The Arizona State Fair is going on right now... The latest triple deep fried "food" available is:
Chocolate-covered bacon
Deep fried battered bacon on a stick with gravy
Reindeer hot dogs
Deep fried scorpion plain or dipped in chocolate
Deep fried grasshoppers on a stick (All bugs that are FDA approved for human consumption)
Sauteed meal worms served on a bun w/BBQ sauce
Smoked lizard on a stick
Chocolate covered jalepenos, scotch bonnet and habenaros peppers
Deep fried tiramisu
Deep fried frog legs
Salmon & halibut tacos
Salmon quesadillas
Corn fritters – batter ball with corn kernels inside, served with honey butter
Tornados on a stick (deep fried spiral cut potatoes)
The rest of that stuff sounds awful, and I really do not understand the bacon obsession some people seem to go through.
bacon is the food of the gods. Though deep fried mit gravy??? sounds like it'll cause... death.
I'm sure after 3 layers of battering and frying a bug, it's nigh indistinguishable from any other ball of grease, so it's all glitz to make some money.
Among the amazing things they had
Fried cookie dough
Fried Pepsi
Battered, fried Cherries
Chocolate covered, battered, fried, bacon
Banana, battered in corn dog batter, then fried
For the peppers, if you want a proof of concept, go to a store and get one of these.

Texas is weird.
I tried deep fried coke a few years ago at the AZ State Fair.
Um... I'm still alive and all, but... some things just don't need to be fried.
Anyone want to beta read a paranormal mystery novella? Here's your chance.

Please, for me, scream out "BOB'S IGUANA-ON-A-STICK IS PEOPLE"
If you replace Texas with SC and Coke with Pepsi
this statement accurately describes how I felt this weekend
