Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Peace Date: 26 Feb 06 - 04:13 PM Chicken and the egg had sex. When they'd done, the chicken lit a cigarette and said, "Well, I guess we've answered THAT question." |
Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: number 6 Date: 26 Feb 06 - 04:15 PM Something of interest here ... I read somewhere that Paul Simon got the title of the song 'Mother and Child Reunion' from an item off of a restaraunt menu for a dish that included chickens and eggs. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Jeri Date: 26 Feb 06 - 04:43 PM Cluin, he laid one himself, din't he? Also, a chicken having sex with an egg is just WRONG! Somebody told me this once, and I've never forgotten it, because mostly I forget important stuff: the egg came first. Another critter, a not-quite-chicken, a chickensaurus, or something else laid an egg with a mutant embreyo in it, and that embreyo is what we know today as the chicken. Not the same chicken. |
Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Peace Date: 26 Feb 06 - 04:49 PM I went to a joke site to see how the chicken and the egg thing was rated. I'da given it a five outta five for wit and humour. The people who voted for the funniness of that joke gave it 1.6 out of five. Go figger. |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: autolycus Date: 26 Feb 06 - 05:00 PM Perhaps not everyone knows of the psychiatrist (Stan Freberg) who owned a horse that clucked.

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Rapparee Date: 26 Feb 06 - 08:21 PM Eggs, scrambled with smoked salmon and a very light touch of green onions, served with reindeer sausage and sourdough toast with REAL butter. |
Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Peace Date: 26 Feb 06 - 08:24 PM Real as in non-salted, Rapaire? Bobad: No to Beauty's. Tell me about the place if you'd be so kind. |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Peace Date: 26 Feb 06 - 08:30 PM I lived there for two years--north of 60 that is--and I never saw it on no menu either. And most of the places--expensive or not--were greasy spoons. |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: frogprince Date: 26 Feb 06 - 08:45 PM Little old lady, deperately poor, goes to little neighborhood grocery. They know her there, and always allow her to buy what she asks in whatever quantity. So it is that she sets out to return to her tiny apartment with a bag containing a bottle of ketchup and two eggs. As she passes an alley, a drunk staggers out, face turned downward, and bumps into her, knocking the bag from her hand. The bag and contents all shatter on the sidewalk. The drunk looks down at the remains, then up at the lady. "Don't cry, lady", he says; "It wouldn't have lived anyhow; it's eyes were too far apart." |
Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: bobad Date: 26 Feb 06 - 08:47 PM Peace It's (at least used to be - haven't been in a long time) on the corner of Mt. Royal and St. Urbain streets - a holdover from the days when the neighbourhood was a nexus of the Jewish community. Sunday mornings would see line-ups a block long for breakfast or brunch, the only meals served. On the menu - fresh squeezed orange juice, eggs (any way you like 'em) with a side of bacon or sausage and the best part - the world's best home fries. Also famous for their world renowned mishmash, which is an omelet filled with fried onions, peppers, salami and hot dogs. But the best was what I usually ordered, which was the Beauty's special - lox, cream cheese, sweet onion and tomato served on a toasted St. Viateur St. bagel - to die for. If you ever make it out this way I'll spring for a trip to Beauty's, you'll love it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 26 Feb 06 - 08:51 PM Reindeer sausage? Boy! Don't let Santa Claus hear about that or you'll be gettin' squat for Christmas. |
Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Peace Date: 26 Feb 06 - 08:52 PM Wow. That sounds cool. Hey, we would have to get to the Bagel Factory. I haven't been there in decades. I looked up Beauty's on the 'net. It sounds really neat. Thanks, bobad. |
Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: number 6 Date: 26 Feb 06 - 11:20 PM I like coddled eggs ... the most civilized manner in cooking an egg. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: number 6 Date: 26 Feb 06 - 11:27 PM Thanks Peace ..... bought some coddlers at a yard sale some time back. The only way I'll cook an egg is to coddle them. Just put in lots of ground pepper with the egg and put the coddler in for a bit. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Gurney Date: 26 Feb 06 - 11:46 PM The (poodle) thread has finished, but the mood'll linger on. Toodle-oo Benny hill had a song called 'The Egg Marketing Board Tango' (in other words, the dance of l'oeuf). Sounds better with a French accent. |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Morticia Date: 27 Feb 06 - 08:09 AM Twilight zone moment? I had put some eggs on to boil......got completely engrossed in Jerry's Kitchen Table thread and forgot I'd done so ( hey, it's my age, k?) .....finally came out of the thread and saw this at the top, just in time to save the water in my eggs from boiling away completely. Mudcat, fun, educational and occasionally saves you from setting fire to the kitchen. |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Rapparee Date: 27 Feb 06 - 08:34 AM I had eggs scrambled with smoked salmon in a B&B outside of Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland (just before you turn off to Coliaste Ide, for those of you who might know the area). I try to have reindeer sausage whenever I'm North of 60 (or whenever it's available). REAL butter is the kind made on farms from fresh cream, not the sort made en masse in dairy factories -- salted or un, either one is good. Add to it a big pot of true Kona or Jamacia Blue Mountain, thich artery-clogging cream, fresh orange juice, some fresh fruit...perhaps freshly picked (and washed) blackberries with clotted cream.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: GUEST,Joe_F Date: 27 Feb 06 - 09:23 PM Mixing them with marrowbone will do you no good at all. autolycus: Cf. Berryman & Berryman, "We Don't Talk about That": Aunt Peg thinks that she's a hen, but we don't talk about that Clucks all day to Uncle Ben, but we don't talk about that He so loves that laugh of Peg's. Digs her soul and digs her legs. Says beside he needs the eggs, but we don't talk about that. alanabit: It is not only in German that eggs are slang for what balls are slang for in English, but also in Russian & Hebrew. Naughty Russian children sing: Po ulitse khodila Bol'shaya krokodila. Ona, ona, golodnaya byla. Uvidela frantsuza I skhvatila za puza. Ona, ona, golodnaya byla. Uvidela kitaytsa I skhvatila za [yaytsa]. Ona, ona, golodnaya byla. Along the street walked a big (whimsically female) crocodile. She, she was a hungry one. She saw a Frenchman & grabbed him by the belly.... She saw a Chinaman and grabbed him by the [eggs, but usually some other word is substituted as a tease]. In Yiddish, IIRC, the Hebrew "beytsim" (eggs) has spawned a derivative, "beytismer", meaning a macho type. It is not a compliment. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: We have torn ourselves away from nature as a man tears himself away from a crowd. :|| |
