Have you ever eaten a fertilized chicken egg (zygote)?

If so, how did it taste? Was the chick inside in its late stages of developments?

never tried it, but my parents bought some home from chinatown. some chicks can range from a small fetus to a almost developed chick.

We have a rooster, so all of our chicken eggs are fertilized. We just put them in the refrigerator so they don't grow chicks.

Aren't they all fertilized? I don't know anything about chicken reproduction...

Standard consumption eggs are not fertilized. They never had the potential to be a chick.

Think of it like when women have a period every month, the egg they shed has no chance to become a baby, unless it was fertilized (add in sperm).

Chicken eggs you eat are the no sperm added (unfertilized - no male around), he's talking about eggs that would have surely hatched in time.

And to answer the thread, no I never did.

I would think they'd be pretty gross.

If you have eaten one where the fvck do you buy your eggs?

I saw on the food network that almost all eggs that hit the shelves are hand inspected and graded. It would be pretty tough for a fertilized egg to pass through. That and the fact that im sure they keep the males far away...

dude that stuff is good... with some salt, pepper and lemon juice, you've got a meal right there. the egg white is fairly tough but tasty, and the partially developed chick inside is nice and creamy.

It's very hard to buy fertilized eggs by mistake, which is why I'm guessing the people who said yes got them through some other source that intended to sell fertilized eggs.

Well...I'd depend. early on, I'd have to agree with you, but if it devolped, that we be kinda weird.

*cracks open an egg for breakfast, chicken fetus stares up at him. Runs screaming from the room like a little girl*

I tried a fertilized duck egg once, my great grandma still eats them

 

[Rudee]

I've seen a few yolks with a bloodspot on them. They were discarded.

Like the other guy said, it's called balut. Popular in other cultures (asian).

..and yes...I have. "Tastes like ...what else...chicken.

 

isn't balut duck, not chicken?

 

[AmphibSailor]

Uhmmm, I think you're right. I'll have to ask a Filipino friend. I was sure it was a fertilized chicken egg that I remember, though...

 

[CanOWorms]

I've eaten a fertilized panda egg, but not chicken.

 

[magomago]

So when you occaisonally get an egg with a red spot...that means it was fertilized? I've goteen this twice, and both times i thew out the egg b/c i thought it was akin to botulism or something
