A week and a half ago I bought some fertile quail eggs to hatch but stopped by my mothers to visit first. I accidently dented one egg and decided to cook and eat it rather then chunk a good egg and my mom gave me this horrified look and said " but its FERTILIZED." .. me " Yes mom, it is." She shuddered so I pointed out that all of her local farm egg were probly also fertile. And she responded with " but that's different." HOW MOM? *facepalm*

Some people can be silly.

Yes they can! Thats what I deal with!!! Funny! Ha! To some, not knowing would just be better.

Weird is a mild understatement!! I could not eat that or even watch it be eaten. That is pretty gross. To Thailand folks its probably a tasty treat Sounds like something that would be on bizarre foods with Andrew Zimmermin

 

I in fact saw it on some weird food show...lol.

I will admit that I used to have a problem, well I still do a little bit. I only use my fetilized eggs in cakes, cookies and meatloaf, etc. I can't just fry one up and dip my toast in it. Maybe one day I will get over it, since I have 3 roosters and love hatching chicks. I do have plans on having just a laying flock at some point that are not allowed near my roosters just so that I can continue to dip my toast in the yolk.

It's just one microscopic cell in that dot on the yolk.Now when I was growing up the old men liked to tell kids [especially girls] that the white string [chalise I believe is the word] was rooster juice.Turned some kids against eggs.

Its all a mind game. Protein is Protein. I personally do not eat fully formed chicks in eggs BUT I've never been that hungry. LOL. I have a rooster. I say to help with hawks but mostly Sam is decorative and helps me hatch a few babies. If someone (even my beloved sister) wanted him removed they know the results would not be what they want. Fertilized vs non fertilized-no difference in food value or taste. I have a neighbor that is grossed out by fertilized eggs(mind game) so I just don't share with them. Their loss.

Seems like I remember, a few years ago, and thread here were folks were hatching store bought eggs (just to see what they got).

That should take your sister off eggs forever........
