I eat a lot of eggs, them being a tasty and relatively cheap protein (I eat a lot of protein).  

 

But I struggle with one aspect of eggs -- the chalaza, that . . . thing that connects the yolk to the egg-white.  I cannotCannotCANNOT tolerate having that thing in my mouth, it induces gagging or worse.   I have never heard anyone make this complaint before, so I assume it really doesn't bother people.   Which is so hard for me to understand.  

 

They are a LOT less thick and nasty in older grocery-store eggs than in farm-fresh eggs, so maybe that's why it's not a problem for the masses.

 

They can be removed, but it is a pain in the butt.  I hate it when I hate something that other people are fine to eat.
