"I commend you Dipsy Doodle Doo on not being afraid to think outside the box! Something funny I've noticed is that we have lots of inconsistent and unfounded phobia's about things we don't understand (and I'm including myself here!). Many of us have happily eaten chickens raised in atrocious conditions and injected full of hormones, and antibiotics in an attempt to kill off the mass of bacteria they are exposed to, yet we are afraid of eating a 6-day old incubated egg that just didn't 'go'. Or, we'll happily drink a glass of ice cold milk that came from who-knows-how-many cows in a mass confinement farm which has been pasteurized to kill off all the bacteria from the blood and puss secreted into the milk due to the conditions the cows are raised in, yet on the other hand we'll be ultra-super cautious to buy raw milk from a farmer who milked it themselves from one or several cows raised in their pasture.
And then there's the thing about feeding the eggs to the dogs.... LOL. I can understand the concern for indoor dogs and not wanting to clean up an occasional barf pile. But aside from that, I second the comments by others who have pointed out, "have you ever seen what dogs actually eat on their own?" Something I often ask people who wince at feeding raw meat to dogs, is "have you ever seen a carnivore in the wild attempt to cook it's meat before eating it?" Are domestic carnivores' digestive system different from wild carnivores'?"

i am from the philippines where the (in)famous balut eggs come from. My DH is an american who goes
and
when he hears the word balut. (initially he thought they're eaten raw and unboiled)
think of a place where every resource is valuable. after so many days in the incubator (18)
both infertile and unhatched developed embryo are boiled to evolve into another food item. Balut has since emerged as a restaurant fare, when fried after being boiled.
very race has its own different food ways. some pay lots of money for (quote) a luxury delicacy, consisting of processed, salted, non-fertilized sturgeon roe. The roe can be
"fresh" (non-pasteurized) or pasteurized, the latter having much less culinary and economic value. (unquote) in some other countries, oysters are eaten fresh, while in Manila, it is steamed or grilled or baked.
chicken/duck feet anyone? (a popular Chinese dimsum item).
(it's all about precious/valuable resources)
