what are you eating today?

[mouko]

damn, i dont know how people eat their eggs sunny side up. That's like asking for salmonella.

most eggs are pasteurized now, which eliminates the threat of salmonella.

[ryker01]

where did you get the ramen chicken?

this was yesterday's lunch in costa mesa

Dude,

Thats my order. #7 is awesome.

[khoiphan92]

@khoi : its supposedly what the japanese call a pizza. potato and mentaiko toppings.

ew! GROSS!!! i thought it was like clams or oisters.

[teh]

You think that sunny side up is bad?

Go to europe and watch people suck down soft boiled eggs. I can't stand those things, but as mentioned above almost all eggs are ozonated (which is different from pastuerization) which elimnates the risk of samonella. Some eggs are irradiated, but ozonation is the norm.

[mojinho]

speaking of raw eggs, i just got back from steak tartare with my friend: raw, organic filet mignon mixed with seasonings and raw egg. delicious. (no pics, unfortunately, forgot my camera.)

[Boredom]

[soepom]

whoa... i be gone for awhile and all this shit's been junking up the thread. selegna don't you know that backinthetrees is already the official cuisine team shit stirrer?

whizkit is my hero. i vote him for wayet mod.

been really lazy with the photo archiving - but here're some interesting things i ate.

this may look like a pedestrian egg-tart - but instead of the usual egg custard filling, it's actually made of soya beancurd. very nice. not too sweet, and has the wonderful consistency of beancurd instead of the mushiness of custard

i had to buy and try it after noticing the description on the packaging.

Sea Urchin, Black Bread, Jalapeno, Yuzu

Looks dope. (if you ate it) how were these two dishes? i never thought of having parmesan with grapefruit. just wondering how that taste combo is. the Sea Urchin must of been yummy :9

[Chicken]

Is that another double-yolked egg we see?

yes! great observation. in fact' date=' the entire six-pack we got came double-yolked.

here's what we found out on wiki:

Some hens will lay double-yolked eggs as the result of unsynchronized production cycles. Although heredity causes some hens to have a higher propensity to lay double-yolked eggs, these occur more frequently as occasional abnormalities in young hens beginning to lay. Usually a double-yolked egg will be longer and thinner than an ordinary single-yolk egg. Double-yolked eggs occur rarely, only leading to observed successful hatchings under human intervention, as the unborn chickens would otherwise fight each other and die.

[B.oskar]

^ only seen 2 double yolk eggs. i ate both of them. so if they hatched they would be twin chickens? that would be cool to see hatching

lol what do the farmers do? Tell the unborn chicks to stop fighting and behave?
