almost no commercially available eggs are fertilized
Indeed, a pool of menstruation blood would be the more accurate equivalence.
I’m sorry and no thanks needed
They are available in quite a few Asian specialty grocery stores around the world.
True, but I’d argue the first guy still has a point. Balut is a speciality food item and not mass produced in anywhere near the same capacity as regular eggs - so while you can find them, if you’re buying eggs you’re almost certainly not going to accidentally buy Ballut eggs.
Oh 100% and they covered themselves with the almost, but it is commercially available, but you won’t find it at Walmart. But same with like octopus and other specialty ingredients anyways.
But then again, not many people would recognize a placenta in a cartoon
Duck eggs often are.
Thank you for fact checking this silly joke.
The real analogy would be the chicken eating a human ovule, which would be a ridicoulsy small speck on the plate of less than 1mm of diameter.
Well then they’d have a plate of them, like tiny caviar. :D
Also a chicken can’t hold a knife and fork
More like the ovule, amniotic sac, umbilical cord, and placenta
Most commercially sold eggs aren’t actually fertilised, they’re essentially chicken periods. As such the human equivalent would really only be blood, a barely visible ovum, and any visible remains of the uteral wall that was shed.
There are definitely fertilised eggs sold (see the photo @65gmexl3 shared), but if you’re literally just buying normal eggs off the shelf, they aren’t going to be those ones.
Unfertilized chicken eggs come with amniotic fluids, nutrition (what the placenta carries) and connectors between them. I didn’t say fertilized
Sure that true for a chicken - but a human’s unfertilised egg/ovum doesn’t come with any of that. As such what you’re saying doesn’t make sense.
The human equivalent of an unfertilised chicken egg is their period, which is what I was referring to above.
The only way you could get what you said is with a very well past fertilised human egg, and at that point you’re comparing apples to oranges.
On the man’s plate are all the things that I listed, so I think it only fair that the chicken get the proportional features!
Sure, but then as I said you’re comparing apples to oranges. You’re comparing the product of human birth to a chicken period, which just aren’t equal.
In any case, I think this is just gonna go round in circles, so I’m going to stop here - have a good one
Haha yes we are comparing these things! Only due to semantics are they apples to oranges. We lazily call the ovum “egg”, but also the shelled “reproductive body” laid by birds, reptiles, etc. The same word with two listed definitions in the dictionary.
You look at the human’s plate and your mind conjures the word egg (definition 1), and so on the second plate you believe there should also be an egg (definition 2)
I look at the plate and see the various necessities for reproduction, which exist in both humans and chickens. The ovum IS on the human’s plate already, but so is all the other stuff!
If it’s “chicken period” vs “human period”, then the other plate should also contain various other period stuff, too, if that’s what you like.
Also isn’t it odd the shelled object is an “egg” no matter if fertilized or how long the fetus has gestated?
Saying hi from PH
That’s a fertilized AND incubated egg.
And some people eat it.
And how is it?
I haven’t had it, but there is a description in the link.
Balut is a renowned dish due to its different developmental stages; some people prefer it when the duck embryo is still largely liquid, while others prefer it when it is more mature and has a chewier texture. A combination of savory, gamey, and rich characteristics can be found in the flavor, which makes it an acquired taste that many Filipinos treasure as a culinary treat and a part of their culture.
but you sre not eating that are you?
This is one of the best in the streets, so yeah
It’s a delicacy in South East Asia I believe
Not without salt and pepper
This is a community for comics
Hello Captain Obvious! I’m glad you’re still doing well!
Not that obvious, apparently, judging from the comments!
This is funny in like an absurdist way, but I never really understood this argument. Human menstruation doesn’t end up with them popping out a whole fetus.
Mmm delicious period blood and discarded unfertilized human eggs.
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t eat a fully formed chicken fetus
[Filipinos] “Are we a joke to you?”
Yup, a chicken would absolutely eat a fetus. Wouldn’t even be a question, but they wouldn’t waste time getting a fork.
At least fry it, dumbass chicken eating it raw smh
You clearly don’t know what chickens are willing to eat.
Menstruum
That’s the word folks are looking for
t y for sharing
Tis but one of the trillions of multiverses out there
