Inspired by the Picky Eater thread

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

I'ts not dog food, (though my dog would eat it, he eats anything.) We had it at the beach and my whole gobbled it up. (Except for my picky younger cousins.)

Did I say it was dog food. I said she called it that because that is what she feed the dogs.
Easy do not get so upset over what a food is called

I'm not upset! All I said was that's it's not dog food.

My grandmother made.

I don't think anybody go upset over your comment. She was merely telling you how much she and her family enjoyed the dish on her recent beach trip. However you DID say your grandmother called it "dog food" because that's what she fed the dog...SOOoooooo yes you DID say it was dog food (in a not-so-roundabout way)

I never said it was dog food. I said that is what she called it.
I know people eat all the time. NO big deal.

Chuck Wagon really is (was) dog food. Purina made it I think. I used to love those commercials!

That's a really big bowl of food for a really little dog. I guess it's both people and dog food.

Oh, eggs in the supermarkets aren't fertilized. No tiny chickens in there.

Really? I am very interested in this as it could open up a whole new culinary area for me, which could be a very good thing considering how picky I am.

I do have to ask though, if it isn’t the umbilical cord, then what the heck IS that little white thingie in the center of the yolk? Is it where the umbilical cord would have been IF the egg had been fertilized?

I don't know what it is, but I just want to say that I always take it off when I make eggs, and throw it out.

ewww
never thought of that

The white thingy is the fertilization. Non-fertilized eggs do not have it.

See now I just read this about that white thing in an egg.

Chalazae
Chalazae (singular: chalaza) are strands of egg white that anchor the yolk in place in the center of the thick white. They are neither imperfections nor beginning embryos.

The more prominent the chalazae, the fresher the egg. Chalazae do not interfere with the cooking or beating of the white and need not be removed, although some cooks like to strain them from stirred custard."

And this:
You may have seen chalazae. They are little strings in the egg white. If you ever saw them you may have thought these are part of an embryo, but they are not. Chalazae are part of an egg white that keeps yolk in the center of the egg white.

This may well be the most helpful piece of non-Disney information I have ever gotten on the Dis! Thank-you!

I'm glad and hoping it will help in your quest for new foods!

I get my eggs from a farmer. He literally goes into the hen house and gets them. They never have the white thingy in them. Can't get much fresher.

Apparently a Chalaza is a sign of a high quality egg.

Why do eggs have a white string-like attachment on the inner lining of the shell?

The string-like attachment is called the Chalaza. This anchors the yolk in the center of the egg. A prominent Chalaza is the sign of a high quality egg.

My grandmother made.



But she called it dog food. That is what she made her dog

OMG, my mom too, the vet told her the beans would help with fiber and the bacon was tasty. She added carrots too and a little cod liver oil. The dogs loved it, they are little foodies!
