    Sweetcorn. I watched a documentary involving it a few years ago and haven't been able to look at the stuff since.

    am not saying are lying but finding this difficult to understand.
    cant see how that was possible-the fetus can only develop if it has been under a broody hen-or in an incubator with correct humidity for a few days.
    it doesnt even look like a fetus for at least a week,the earlier signs of development will see using a candler are veins spidering out,with each day or so these spider out more,a red dot thing will appear- that eventualy becomes the fetus start to form slowly,and when theyre half way through development or so will see them swimming around.:cool:

    is there any chance of taking a photo of this egg?
    woud be interested to see what this looks like exactly and itd also be a good idea to show the photo to the farm had got them from to make sure they get tougher on their egg removing practices every day.
    am still not getting this as a broody hen who is incubating eggs will not get off them for anyone; they go mental in fact if try to go near their eggs, the only time they woud ever leave their eggs is when they sense something is seriously wrong with the chicks;that they havent properly developed.
    NB.am a hobby handrearer of pet chickens from hatching egg/incubating stage.


    the japanese eat live twelve day old fetuses as a meal by the way,they showed a one being eaten on the uk food channel and mum was furious-she emailed a complaint in- regardless of culture animal abuse shoud not be an accepted let alone celebrated form of media here,it woud not be accepted by the RSPCA if done by some random on the street/general public.

    My guess is it was an egg from a household roost, a lot of rural houses will have their own coop. The screening process is fairly thorough from store bought eggs. I've seen this firsthand myself the fetus' themselves aree fairly embryonic looking just a lil gross embryo near the yolk. I asked apparently the hens attempt to go broody but if the other hens around them arent doing the same they abandon the egg. So sometimes lil embryos form. I was more grossed out that most of the eggs they use were fertalized at all nevermind embryos being present!

    Definitely boiled eggs as well. I eat them cut up in rolls from shops but can't stomach it in their special little containers. Rubbery texture is weird...

    I wouldn't mind seeing it myself. I don't doubt it could happen. If I'm letting a hen hatch I mark the eggs she's set. The other hens will often lay in the same nestbox and she'll steal them so I have to go in and take out the unmarked eggs. Most of mine are fairly easy going and don't get upset about it.

    It wouldn't be a problem if the eggs were taken quickly and stored somewhere colder than, say, under a hen.

    What?! :-O


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭ElleEm


    I go off sausages all the time. I heard horror stories about the factories, and most sausages only have a 45%- 75% pork content depending on the brand. And the gristle makes me gag. Then every couple of months, I crave a fry-up, I have sausages, then that afternoon I swear off them again.

    My favourite food was eggs up until last night.

    I was boiling some eggs to make a salad sandwich and when i was taking the shell off one of the eggs i noticed a pink patch on it. I went to cut it off and noticed something in the yolk.... I nearly threw up.
    It was a fetus of a chick.

    I don't think I will be eating eggs for a long time now after witnessing that.
    Had the same experience years ago, except I cracked the egg into a frying pan only to see a chick foetus among the goo. Couldn't touch eggs for years, now I crack them into a cup first to check, just in case. Imagine if ya hadn't seen it and chomped away thinking 'this egg is a bit chewy'
    f#ck..
    I nearly ate a white caterpillar once, it was in a bit of cooked cauliflower.

    My sister found a caterpillar in a bird's eye salad thing before.

    I wasn't suprised with the horse meat. First caterpillars and now this!!

    Chinese food done properly can be delicious, but unfortunately some of the sh1t that passes for chinese food in takeaways here bears little resemblance to real chinese food.

    That's total bollocks, I was in Bejing before and everyone was eating curry chips in long tray

    Any type of frozen food. Last summer, I cooked some frozen chicken things and some frozen onion rings. But the freezer had been left ajar ever so slightly, and the stuff had semi-defrosted. I didn't notice before I cooked it. I did notice that the food was slightly... mushy or something when I was eating it, but I thought it was my imagination and didn't think anything of it.

    Cue 4 days of puking and just feeling so, so sick. I was feverish and sweating at points, frozen and shivering at others. Lying in bed, in pools of cold sweat, I felt like just dying. Death would have been a welcome release. I couldn't sleep, as every 30-40 minutes, I'd be up puking. How there was anything left in me, I do not know, as I couldn't eat anything for days. I was drinking sips of water so I wouldn't dehydrate, that was all.

    To this day, I cannot bring myself to eat frozen food at all. I just do not trust it anymore at all. Just the thoughts of the taste of those frozen onion rings makes me shiver (even though it was the chicken that obviously got me). It will be a long, long time before I ever venture near the frozen section in the supermarket again.

    A bit like this, was it?

    Lavender. I had lavender chocolate once and the taste stayed in my mouth all day. Never again.

    Wonderfulname, I had no idea until now that sausage was encased in intestine. I was talking about sweetmeat or whatever it's called. Thank God I stick to the chicken mostly cos i know sweet f all about meat!

    Went to a posh highly recommended Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam before, worst meal we have ever had, ever. And they charged 6.50 for water. But the chinese, great bunch of lads.

    Amsterdam can be stupidly expensive to eat out in.
    What did you have in the Chinese and why was it crap?
    And yes, great bunch of lads.
