lapsedgamer Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore How permeable is the shell of an egg? For example, when I hard boil and egg, I don't notice any water inside when I open it, except when it drop the egg into the pot too hard and crack it accidentally. I never notice any of the salt from the water in the egg when I eat it. When I used to color eggs at Easter, I didn't see any of the color coming through the shell until a day or two later. Off course, I'm not really in a rush to try this, but I don't see how this would be any different than boiling in egg in salt water. It seems like one of those gross, completely ineffective, yet basically harmless folk remedies. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore No, I think you've got it. Eggshells are gas-permeable, but not liquid-permeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore It's moot, really because Then the eggs - which have official cultural significance status - are boiled in the urine, first with their shells on and then with them off for a day and a night before they're ready to be eaten.Again, I must say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I've tried one once. Don't have to again. Do yourself a favor, pour ammonia on a wad of paper towels and try eating that. If you're still interested after that, you might like the eggs.

Matt the Bruins Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I'm relieved to read that they're not technically spoiled (or poisonous). Though I question the wisdom of eating anything whose smell is reminiscent of horse urine. Also, don't chickens produce eggs year-round? Why would one need to preserve them for months?

Chickens can be tricked into laying year-round, but before electric lights, it wasn't easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
