Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[ronott1]

I guess they don't eat caviar...

The general public is so out of touch with where their food comes from. Everything must be either on TV, or over processed on a grocery store shelf. Now, I admit I was born and raised a city person. But I had/have an open mind to trying different foods. I eat deer, and enjoy it. I raise chickens, and love their fertilized eggs. And, am learning to process them for the dinner table too.

I enjoy a freshly caught fish, be it from the ocean or fresh water. I have bought fresh shrimp off of the boat, still kicking. And learned how to pop their little heads off before steaming. That, and quite a few other things.....is a long way from growing up in the midwest in a major city. As a kid, I knew buses, taxis, and Macy's...etc.

One of my cockerels attacked me--He jumped at my fingers each time I reached down to open his cage door to feed him. He was scheduled for processing on Saturday but he needed to go. When I came home that Thursday night, I started the job. I was plucking the feathers when my 14 year old came in. I looked at her and said: "Dinner is going to be a bit late..." She made a loud sigh, turned around and went back up to her room.....

I was kidding. We had him for Sunday Dinner!

I have had that comment from my sister as well. She won't eat eggs with "dark orange" yokes.

i say, Take me back to the 20'-30's, when almost everyone had their own chickens.

But those ones taste the best!

Caviar would not contain sperm though, isn't it squeezed from the body of the female fish? Fish do the squirt sperm onto eggs after laying thing that people think chickens do...

I don't eat caviar, looks icky, and too expensive, I'll stick with bird eggs for not XD

You're correct caviar is unfertilized. They kill the fish and cut it open to get the egg sacks out. Then the eggs are cleaned and brined.

Way to expensive for my taste. I do eat the roe from fish we catch. Very lightly fried like Mom did growing up. Salmon have good sized eggs and are fun to pop against the top of your mouth. Trout is what we had as a kid. Salmon are the fish of choice on this side of the mountain.

See. We learn something new every day!!

If it won't kill me I will try to eat it at least once. No critter, veggie, on fungus is safe from this ravenous omnivore!

I love food! And I was raised to try things first before passing judgment. That being said, I do have a problem with slimey things. If it looks like slime, I won't try it. So boiled okra and raw oysters are out. I will eat smoked oysters, and love fried or pickled okra though!

 

[Kiniska]

Slimy, crunchy, squishy, all equally fear my tummy! I had some cheese from Vermont that squeaked when you chewed it. Delicious!

 

[IttyBiddyRedHen]

hahaha..the story was the my maternal grampa loved Limburger Cheese. Never tried it...heard it stinks..

I won't swallow a raw oyster, nor eat boiled okra. I also can't bring myself to suck a crawdad head....ewww....even after living down in Biloxi for 15 yrs. But I love me some gumbo!!

A friend of my husband has recently been introduced to fresh eggs, courtesy of our girls. It took him a long time to try them, but now he LOVES them. He had family coming for Thanksgiving was going to cook eggs for breakfast to show them just how delicious fresh eggs are and how colorful they can be. Well......... He got up that morning and there were no eggs in the basket. He asked his son where the eggs were and his son told him that he threw them away because someone had left them out on the counter. He said they had gotten warm and were already turning colors because they were rotten.
