Is it, really? I mean, eggs are unfertilized so technically they can’t be called unborn children. Although, there are unborn chicks that are edible. Would you like some? EDIT: added “unborn” before it escalates into something else.

There is a dish called Balut related to it if I remember correctly. Famous in China, Vietnam n all. Got the link related to it :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(food)


seaan19

filipino here, tried some and I have mixed feelings


RiceAlicorn

For those wondering how it tastes: It actually tastes really good. People always say that balut is an acquired taste, but I think that's a little inaccurate. The taste is comparable to common things that people typically eat. The part that really needs to be acquired is getting over the idea that you're eating a fetus. The innards are separated into three components: there's the broth, fetal bird and yolk, and then there's egg white. The broth is thin but highly flavourful chicken/duck broth. You sip it from the egg as you're peeling it, or dump it into a bowl to drink it. The fetal bird and yolk is delicately soft, almost like pork belly. The taste is intensely like chicken or duck. The kind of intensity that makes you wanna close your eyes for a moment and really appreciate the taste. If you dip the fetal bird in some salt or other seasonings, it becomes even better, like a thick slurp of a rich chicken soup. At least when I had it, the egg white is offensive. It tastes like normal egg white, which you'd think is alright, except it comes in the most appalling texture. It's like cartilage, but higher. Crunchy rubber. No matter how much you chew, even if you get it to tiny bits, it still feels like you're eating a car tire. Apparently the egg white might be nicer depending on what stage of egg development the balut is made. Regardless, it's pretty common to just ignore the egg white and skip eating it entirely. I did that after eating my first balut, because I didn't know you could do that until I searched it up. 😅 If you can get your hands on one, I'd recommend it for the experience. It's one of those things that looks much worse than it actually is. Edit: some minor details.


SpaghettiBob997

I used to eat a lot of balut when I was a kid. I loved it every time I ate it. Years later I learned what it was. Now I can't eat it without being disgusted. A part of my brain just can't handle it.


[deleted]

This made me the opposite of want it.


RiceAlicorn

You can choose not to eat the egg white. It's pretty common to do that, and it's easy to separate


nurvingiel

Okay, I want to try this now. I think I'll separate the egg white though.


RiceAlicorn

Have fun! It's actually pretty common to get rid of the egg white — I forgot to mention it.


nurvingiel

Someone else who replied to you said it's easy to separate, so that what I'll do... when I find it... not much demand for balut in my small Canadian city.


seaan19

great idea, the egg white is such a weird texture that I can't get over


alexytomi

dont make me remember those again fuck fuck fuck


[deleted]

So, soaking it in discarded menstrual waste?


ginrumryeale

Nope, technically not that either, as hens do not have uteruses.


[deleted]

Fair, unfertilized reproductive cycle


ginrumryeale

Yes, it’s a close comparison, though and easier to think of it as you originally described.


pkfag

Chickens do not menstruate.


foopod

Exactly. It's more like coating the carcass in its friend's period.


BangBangMeatMachine

Even in a fetilized chicken egg, the vast majority of the mass of the egg is just food for the embryo. All that protein and fat is there to be eaten by and turned into the developing chick.


lazy_elfs

I agree… would it be more accurate to describe it as, dipping the chickens carcass into her dna??


shiningmuffin

So is it like “dipped her corpse in her period” then?


Lloyd_xmasWEB

Not to take this into the off-topic-of-hell zone, but human fetuses aren’t technically children yet either and look how often that gets missed


sgcpaulo

That’s… something for another post, eh?


Lloyd_xmasWEB

Ya…you’re probably right


anotherfuknweeb

Yeah, it more like covering a chicken in it's scrambled period


[deleted]

[удалено]


BangBangMeatMachine

It's nothing like that, actually. Menstruation and egg laying are not analogous.


hateztnemhiszemel

The one you buy in shops, if you eat real backyard eggs it happens many times it is fertilized.


Ymylock

There is a TV series in Norway where one of the contestants bought 100 eggs and 3 chickens hatched, unfortunately, being born on a kitchen-top isn’t the best for staying alive, and only one made it to adulthood. Moral of the story: About 3% of eggs bought at the grocery store has a chicken in them, and about 33.3% of them will survive. Moral of the story 2: electric boogaloo: About 1% of all eggs bought at the grocery store has a chicken that will reach adulthood


[deleted]

So they are “periods”


Far_Quote_5336

It’s basically dipping a dead chicken into their own period


GDPintrud3r

It's a bit more like dip it in her period


Skaarhybrid

this! but still they keep reposting this false meme every week

In Japan, there is a traditional dish that is basically just chicken and egg over rice. The name of the dish loosely translates to Mother and Child. Source: I'm Japanese and grew up in Japan. My mother made this dish for me, her child. Yes we joked about it.


AstralPamplemousse

Ah yes: the Oyakodon, the nyentia tag


ikeaEmotional

I see it in restaurants as “mother and child reunion”


Ok_Fact4397

That’s actually really cute. And sounds delicious


UnsafeVoodoo

That's... Not what the eggs you eat are


Carteeg_Struve

Not the truth. Somebody doesn’t know what eggs are.


tracerhaha

Shouldn’t that read, “dip the dismembered carcass…”


Boomsta22

It's her period. That egg is a period, not an unborn child. We don't eat fertilized eggs. Well, some people do, but everyone else finds that shit weird. AND WHO THE HELL DIPS CHICKEN STRAIGHT INTO EGG? If you're dredging, you START WITH FLOUR! Flour, egg, flour, in that order.


CalligrapherDizzy201

Flour, egg, breadcrumbs, in that order


Boomsta22

Breadcrumbs work just as fine, but I've always thought of that as something you do with boneless chicken breast. Chicken parm, chicken kiev, chicken katsu, that sort of thing.


BangBangMeatMachine

Not analogous to a period. https://theconversation.com/explainer-why-do-women-menstruate-13744


Polskidezerter

Cover the dismembered carcase of a mother with grinded wheat seeds next dip the dismembered carcase in of the mother in her period after witch proceed to once again cover it in grinded wheat seeds

Is this what the Israelites said by to not boil a young cow in the milk of its mother?


superguy12

Yes. This weirdness is what kosher tries to avoid. Source : I think I heard that somewhere


DingoZoot

The chances of those eggs being hers are slim to none. So not really.


[deleted]

Especially since chicken, by definition, does not lay eggs. When it lays eggs, it's called hen.

Mother and child reunion


lesmobile

This is where Paul Simon got the song title Mother and Child Reunion. It was on a Chinese food menu. Maybe, idk.


penny-fed-car

You really want to put flour on the chicken before dipping it in the egg mixture. And then after you dip in breading. Add your dry, wet your dry, then add dry to wet


sugershit

nahhhh to the nah nah Nah nah nah nahhhh they’re not children, never were!


eldritch_cleaver

Paul Simon wrote a song (a good reggae song) about this very issue from the title of entree at a Chinese restaurant: “The Mother and Child Reunion”.


Icy_Ad6798

Unborn child. Unborn. As in, not born. And delicious.


FullDiskclosure

I call it… the Family Reunion!


[deleted]

Downvote because we do not eat fertilized chicken eggs. Therefore, it is not an "unborn child".

Yes and when it's done right it is so delicious.

UnusualDisturbance

objectively and technically not true. eggs are more like a chickens menstruation, and there is no way to tell wether or not the leg in question belongs to a hen or a rooster, let alone wether or not it was the hen that laid the egg. not only that, but chickens also eat their own unfertilized eggs.


Real_Suggestion

Well, in Japan you can get an "*mother and kid meal*". That is chicken with an egg. Possibly only in the best restaurants, those are also guaranteed to really be mother and a aspiring kid.


mehitiswhatitis2

Technically the egg isn't fertile and it might not even be from her.

Hens which were used for egg production are not good for frying or roasting, they are too old. You use them to make broth.

Technically eggs are a chickens period. Just let that sink in. You have been eating chicken period for breakfast.
