What did you Keto today? Part Deux!

(Little Miss Scare-All) #7673

Not at all. :joy: It doesn’t taste any different than a regular old chicken egg. It’s just cuter because it’s tiny. I would imagine, unless you’re doing a professional plating and need the egg small for dish balance, there’s no real reason to eat them.

(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #7674

I figure the Chinese way of cooking them you at least have the advantage of cooking a lot of them together. Then just snack on them.

But there is also merit in cute tiny things
 once.

(Little Miss Scare-All) #7675

Precisely. And once was all I needed. I didn’t buy them again.

#7676

Ate something for lunch again today, mostly because I’m still dealing with some head congestion and still getting that infectious taste from it. 
 Didn’t feel like leaving the office so just did some Sardines, 2 cans Potted Meat, Pork Rinds, Olives and a Watermelon Bai Drink.

Yeah I did wonder if that was the problem, I put a good amount in a small cup. Probably needed more water!

My fave! Mince, roasted kale and some garlic bread. I put loads of chilli flakes in the meat and my mouth is on fire now!

Usually in Asian cuisines they are precooked and added whole to fancy dishes. You can get them in cans already cooked and peeled in Asian stores often.

I made the same mistake, bitter. :cowboy_hat_face:

Have you tried the 100 year eggs (think that’s what they’re called)?

(Full Metal KETO AF) #7682

I have, they’re not disgusting as you might think. Often served in congee (rice porridge) for breakfast or fast meals.

Really? They don’t taste “off” or anything? Tbh am not a huge lover of eggs, but they just don’t sound/look like they’d be nice.

I couldn’t believe it!

Then season and pan fry! As there were 2 I decided on a carnivore OMAD😉

Bloody lovely!
Of course I never ate the parsley, carnivore innitđŸ€Ł!

They are very salty and eatin in little bits with the porridge. Not bitten into like a hard boiled egg. Oh, and they’re duck eggs. Cured with an alkaline and packed in straw. Kind of like a complex cheese like blue cheese compared to milk. It’s been a really long time since I tasted one but I didn’t think they were nasty tasting. Just another scary looking exotic Chinese thing like fermented tofu which is unappealing visually but similar to a blue cheese taste. :cowboy_hat_face:

You had me at salty & blue cheese!

(traci simpson) #7689

I had a big ass salad with greens from my garden, beef rib tips, two eggs, bacon, little red peppers, few pieces of cucumber and cheese.
