Bringing conspicuous consumption to a new level, this multimillion dollar dish would heavily feature harvested and cleaned human eggs. I have no idea what it would taste like, but it's something no one has ever had before, probably isn't illegal (if only because no one has imagined such an undertaking)
and most importantly would be incredibly expensive.

[blissmiss]; good pun!
I would suspect it would be something akin to caviar, but
(being smaller) would be more soup-like.
I just took a quick look at the Wikipedia page on caviar...
pasteurising (ie. making it safer) reduces the value. So
adding time, processing and safety (and the cost of those)
somehow cheapens it. People are weird. |

Omelet that pun pass. The last thing we need is one of THOSE threads. |
|

...for me you just went from re-inventing the lighter, to me wondering if you're really [Ben Frost] in a single click. |

//People are weird// Disputed. Though actually you are right, people really are weird, but this is not a good example, because there's a good rational explanation. Yes, the process of pasteurisation costs a small amount of time and money to do, and ends up with a "safe" product you can pull off the shelf and crack into. However, in the absence of pasteurisation you do not just guzzle on unsafe product, instead you require freshness, professional handling and preparation all of which cost a large amount of time and money. Hence unpasteurised product being by and large more expensive. |

If the eggs were voluntarily given then I suppose this
would be acceptable to vegetarians (in the same way that
black pudding made from donated blood is OK) |
|
| |
A perfect eggsample of something that invites
multiple cringe making yolks. |
|
| |
OK I thought you were asking me! I'll go and have a little lie down and try to manage my paranoia better! |

Can we stop calling these eggs? Eggs have shells,
come out of birds and lizards and sit in a nest until
they hatch. |
|
| |
These are cellular proto-lifeformations or
something. |
|
| |
They're not eggs, can we all agree that they were
just named improperly? The scientists were lazy
and
un-inspired the day they named them that. Maybe
it was
a Friday or something. |
|
| |
Love it, anything but eggs. |
|
| |
Newflash! If this semantic abomination is allowed
to persist, we're all hatched out of eggs. |
|
| |
Zoology verb, past tense: hatched; past participle:
hatched
|
|
| |
1. (of an egg) open and produce a young animal. |
|
| |
There's a membrane we break out of. That's the
"eggshell". Think an egg's outer layer has to be
hard and
opaque? Many if not most eggs are clear and have
soft membranes as "shells". Like the egg YOU
HATCHED OUT OF!!! You, fish, SNAILS AND SLUGS!
Like that? You came out of a clear, soft egg just
like a slug. |
|
| |
So congratulations Mr and Mrs Human on your baby
hatching out of its egg. |
|
| |
And if you think breaking out of the egg inside or
on the way out of the bearer makes it a birth
rather than a hatching, I'll point out the seahorse. |
|
| |
Once this fact gets out, you can forget about
cultural norms as we know them. |
|
| |
"December 25th is the day our savior was hatched."
"Happy hatch day to you... happy hatch day to
you.." |
|
| |
I think I like "proto-cell". Cell doesn't necessarily
mean a single cell, it could be like a power cell
which is a unit. |
|
| |
The male sperm (we can keep that) meets the
female proto-cell and the process begins. |
|
| |
And if anybody points out they're already called
ovums (then embryos) I will pretend to not have
known that and
change the subject. |

<Alien anthropologists analyzing culture fragments.( translated) 2>
Got any theories for the specie die out?
From these cooking implements, It seems they got a taste for their own eggs.
The evidence looks pretty conclusive, write it up in The Book of Rules.

Sorry, poc, it appears no matter what I do I leave some holes
in the thread. This time it makes you look delusional. But
then...hahahaha. |

It's not cannibalism unless developed and separated eggs are parts of a human. Is trichophagia (hair eating) cannibalism?
edit: So I see it's actually classified as autocannibalism and therefore the answer is "yes". |
