#eggwhite — Public Fediverse posts

Am I missing something or is EU making #eggyolk and #eggwhite illegal because those terms are reserved for products containing meat ???

Just saw the phrase
“Like Egg White As It Boils”
And, I know what they meant was "Like egg white in boiling water". Is OK, I am not that dim.

#eggWhite is not white until after you boil it. Before then, it is vaguely yellow. Odd to have a name that depends on being ruined first. (wiki note - 'albumen')

The question then, my fellow corpses:

What could *boiling* egg white be? Not #boiled. #Boiling.

Is it possible? When? How? Does boiling always denature/cross-link the proteins? Can you stop that happening?

Thinking of buying a Temu vacuum chamber (I bet they fucking do have them, shaped vaguely like sextoys, sure, but vacuum chambers nonetheless) just to see what happens.

Maybe there is a chemical that can fill-up the sticky parts of the proteins so they cant bind onto each other? and I could boil it at room temp and pressure?

Anyhooo, that's my odd thought for this morning.

Listening to this piece of nepotism on DoubleJ. Quite fun:
