Would you eat this egg?

[Shel_B]

Just curious ... opened a new carton of eggs a while ago and found this puppy.  Would you break this open and fry or scramble it? If you did break it open, what would you look for to decide if you'd eat it or not?

I would put that out near the woods for the snakes and raccoons to eat.

I would put it out for the rats.

I would put it out for the hedgehog …

And that's where it went at about 3am his morning.

 

Thanks to all for jumping in.

Although we don't have much incidence of salmonella here in Costa Rica, I scramble them and feed them to the cat.

Interesting responses that reflect where we each live.    (However I don't intentionally feed snakes!)

[YvetteMT]

Nope.  Out for the fox.

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

Good treat for the crows.

I observed that as well.

A treat for trash pandas.

As @Margaret Pilgrim observed, I too thought about where we all live, but in a different way.. I'm here in Atlanta on east coast  time.  The twins like to wake us old folks up at 7am. By 7:30 I was browsing on my laptop and noticed @Shel_B was posting. That means you were thinking seriously about this egg at 4am Pacific Time.  Really?  I wish you a better night's sleep tonight.

Maybe he’s just an early riser?  He said he got rid of it at 3AM…

…which would seem to be before he posted and definitely before anyone answered.

I'll bet your neighbors would just love that. Fattening up the rats.

And maybe he's just trying to play with our heads or giving us 'food' for thought.

You really shouldn't do that @Shel_B. When you get to be my age, too much thinking can be detrimental to your health.

Is it a pet hedgehog? If so - then I might not put it there.

Once upon a time, I would have fed it to the chickens!  Reuse, Recycle!
