Eggs aren't chickens unless they get fertilized, incubated, and hatch!

Could it also have been the same guy who crossed the road, just to get to the other side??? ;D ;D ;D No , that was Colonel Sanders. And that's why the chicken crossed the road!

That's only one part of the egg.If you took a dna sample it would come back as a chicken whether fertile or not.
The question remains that if a rattlesnake can taste like chicken even though totally unrelated to a chicken then why doesn't a chicken egg taste like chicken?
Even more interesting is the fact that an egg cooked by different methods changes the taste of an egg.A fried egg tastes different then a scrambled and as does a poached egg.Eggs used as an ingredient don't impart egg "flavor" as well so your cake doesn't taste like an omelet.

Actually an egg is not a chicken. It is actually chicken food as the young chick absorbs the yolk sac as it grows. That's only one part of the egg.If you took a DNA sample it would come back as a chicken whether fertile or not.
Only if it were mitrochondrial DNA. The question remains that if a rattlesnake can taste like chicken even though totally unrelated to a chicken then why doesn't a chicken egg taste like chicken? Who says rattlesnake taste like chicken? Even more interesting is the fact that an egg cooked by different methods changes the taste of an egg.A fried egg tastes different then a scrambled and as does a poached egg.Eggs used as an ingredient don't impart egg "flavor" as well so your cake doesn't taste like an omelet. Eggs are 90 percent water, six percent protein, and four percent fat. All of the taste is in the additives; ergo, oil, seasonings, cooking medium etc. In order to get the true flavor you would have to pucker, blow away the feathers and suck on the chicken's butt!

An egg is still not a chicken, it is an egg.
And personally I don't think rattlesnake tastes like chicken.

Paws, I'd venture to guess the 1st to try an egg was a neanderthall who watched a prehistoric animal rob a nest and chow down! People aint been right since! Maybe so! Oogablock must have told Gabagrunt that he'd try it if he'd go get one! (Kinda like me and my cousin David!)

Guess the issue of why eggs don't taste like chicken never crossed my mind.
What I am wondering about is why ground beef anymore tastes like old bull ground with horse flesh?? Can't find any that doesn't have the flavor and smell of bull/horse. Not only at one store locally, but at nearly every store I've shopped since last spring.

I agree BNB,
I've been getting awful spoiled on the quarter beef I bought from a friend who raises them. It's about gone, and once I have to go back to the store to buy beef, I know I'm not gonna be satisfied.
Oh well..........it was nice while it lasted!

If you took a dna sample from a veal calf, it would be the same as the if the calf was finished for beef, but veal still doesn't taste like beef!

Ok this is just plane wierd...eggs tasting like chicken, or not...DNA testing...Paws kissing chicken butts...eggs taste like eggs because they are eggs...not chickens....there is only a tiny bit of a chicken in an egg and if tested that would be the only part that would pop up as a female chicken unless the egg was feralized, then it would show both the DNA of both adult chickens...to go further a human (mamal) egg does not have an attached food supply like those of birds, reptiles,amphibians or fish...they do have in common the the embriodic disc (which makes up 80+% of the mammel eggs, but only a tiny portion of the others)...so there.
Now for Rattlesnake tasting like chicken..nope, it taste like rattlesnake...maybe chicken tastes like rattlesnake instead...
Now for the veal thing...a calf has the same DNA from the moment it is concived as it does when it's old..it never changes nor can it...
Now for Faith's question...much of the beef that is being ground up for you in the suppermarkets and even some butcher shops has been previously frozen...and that mass produced junk that come to the markets in the big boxes has been ground and frozen and then shipped...all the while having been exposed to the air and as we all have learned, air is the enemy of freshness when it come to frozen foods...if ya'll have the need for good tasting (well as good as it can be) ground beef, ie hamburger, go to the meat market have the cutter chunk ya off a big slab and take it home and grind it yourself or you probably can have them do it, if necessary...

I was just thinking how much manatee tastes like veal, which tastes like chicken, but doesn't taste like an egg. I bet if it did taste like an egg, it'd be spoiled. Know what tastes like an egg? An egg. And rattlesnake only tastes like chicken because it has a mild taste and gets cooked like chicken. If you want it to taste like snake, don't fry it, but bake it in the oven like you would a fish. It has a pleasant flavor that isn't easily confused with chicken. Ya ever eat turtle eggs? They don't taste like chicken eggs, but they still don't taste like turtle either.

Well why don't buffalo wings taste like buffalo? And since when do buffalo have wings? How come some people think gouda tastes bada? Why does catfish taste like fish...or is it that it actually tastes like cat only we don't know any better? Is it okay to serve HAMburger for Easter dinner?
