Interesting Richarlyson, Pomme, and qBad lore lines regarding qForever and/or @v@ or others (23 Dec 2023)

(not full transcript, just some i thought were interesting, also I'm not changing their typos on their signs n such)

with qPhil and qBad:

Richas :"Dad DID took a medicine but NOT this one" (Happy Pills)

Richas :"Tio Phil 0_0 it IS a medicine but…it is not taking effect. I knew it but, well, the only thing I can do is try to…ask help for someone but who knows where they are."

Richas :"Don't worry tios 0_0 killing him does nothing cause it won't do much now. If anything happen, it will be to me sO DON'T WORRY >:D WE CAN FIX HIM"

with qBad: after sending Pomme away for a moment:

Richas :"so they spoke about bad forever right? Take care of Pom and Dapper tio, I will take care of him dad is far gone, don't try to save him this is not a matter of a pill anymore 0_0 well KKKKKKKKKKKKKK NEITHER I DO KNOW LIFE IS CONFUSING"

Bad asking if "taking care" of him meant killing him

Richas : "KKKKKKKKKKK no tio nah nuh yuh"

Even if the pills aren't working, shouldn't there be some way to fix him?

Richas :"I mean there always is but…do we know how? I can ask tio but do you even know about a certain "dark cucurucho""

"That's the thing tio This is our only hint, for this, it's not a mather of sving him, but keeping dad alive I mean, he might be a danger to me but he is still my dad and better me than the others no? 0_0"

Nonono! what about nobody?

Richas :"thATS WHY KKKK YOURE A LITTLE GOSSIPER and you like dad forever a lot so I don't want tio to be stepping on landmines"

What about working together?

Richas :"Tio again 0_0 KKKKKKKKKKK again, he is far gone, idk how bad it was before Well, if that wakes dad up >:D"

"I mean yeah tio rn the only thing he would propose to in this state is satan so this is how bad it is"

Bad proposing different sleeping arrangements

Richas :"he don't want to kill me now tio 0_0 BUT at least not for today KKKKKK"

"i mean he shot tallulah so KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK But dw 0_0 I just want to say because tio, put energy on pom and dappe >:D"

Bad expresses concern towards Richas

Richas : "KKKKKKKKKKK I am a smart eggie tio, dw and honestly 0_0 it's dad, I will be fine either way, did anyone ever hurt and egg like this before?

qBad :"If you die Richas, I will crawl down and grab your soul and drag it back from the underworld myself, ok Richas? You are forbidden from dying, understood?"

Richas :"WAIT NOW I KINDA WANNA DIE JUST TO GIVE TIO THE WORK"

"if dad die pull him back for me, please"

qBad :"I will do my best Richas, I'll try"

Goes to look for Pomme, caught Pomme just staring a little too close at fire

Pomme :"hey :D"

qBad :"hmm…what are you up to?"

Pomme :"Nothing, dw"

qBad :"Oh. ok. Well if it was nothing, i won't worry about it because if it was something….you would say something…"

Pomme :"Just feeling a bit sad Just a bit worried of not being trust worthy"

qBad :"It's not that Pomme. It's Richas…he's concerned about you and so he doesn't want to tell you something because he doesn't want you to worry that's basically it"

Pomme :"Why? He doesn't need to be worried about me"

Richas :"KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I have secrets with pom too"

"no no Pome 0_0 it's about dad forever"

Pomme :"I mean… I don't know, today has just been a lot I wasn't planning on keeping it a secret from you"

"It's more… of an idea than a secret But I'm not sure we should say anything about it "for now""

Richas :"BUT I can say hope you're fine pom 0_0 dw, take care of tio bad too cause he abuses his poor totems"

Pomme :"dw, I made it my duty to keep him alive like I kept you alive for 3 months you muffinhead"

Richas :"CALLATE KKKKKKK"

Bad starts singing a "we will keep Richas alive" song

Pomme :"A miracle tbh"

"Okay that song was comforting pfft and funny :') <3"

"I'm just… I just want to try my best, you know"

Bad gives words of encouragement

Pomme :"Today was honestly awful, I saw him SHOT my siblings and I couldn't hit him, because >I know< it would've make things worse"

qBad :"Yeah, I think you did the right thing Pomme, the way you handled that situation, I think you handled it very well. And I am very proud of you."

Pomme :"I was angry at him and I felt powerless and I hate this I hate this I hate this feeling, I always feel powerless things keep happening to us and I CANT defend them no matter how hard I try to train and have the best gear I'll break at some point, I can't tank it forever no pun intended"

Bad ensures her that she has people who love her for her to lean on

Pomme :"Dad everytime it happens when you are not here when our parents aren't here"

Richas :"I MEAN MINE WAS KKKKKKKKKKKKKK"

Pomme :"yeah, AND he was targetting richas I just made sure to be the LAST ONE to warp, to leave no one behind, besides Richas and what I did was waiting in front of RIchas' stasis enderpearland I WAS READY to activate it I GOT SO SCARED."

Richas :"KKKKKK Pom, thank you for those splash potions TAKING 20 BULLETS HURT A LOT KKKKKKKKKK"

Pomme :"I KNOW I WAS SO FREAKING MAD. I WAS JUST PRETENDING TO BUILD FOR HIM BUT KEPT LOOKING AT THE SIDE I had my freaking tomb digger ready to hit him to give y'all time to warp away At least Dapper taught me well"

Richas :"our goat sleeper"

qBad :"Let's go yeah! See, Pomme, what you just described is a perfect example of literally ALL of us together, have been able to help lift each other up, help make each other stronger. Your brother, Dapper, helped give you the skills you needed to be tough, he gave you knowledge and tools that could help you in this situation. Richas helped provide you with levity while you're out in the wilderness to help you have the motivation to stay alive yourself, right? Instead of doing it alone, you had this goofball to keep you company, right? Everybody in our life can help lift us up in some way, shape or form. What's interesting about burdens, Pomme, is the burdens that we help carry for others feel lighter to us because we're helping them and the burdens others help carry with us, feel lighter to them as well so when two people help carry each other's burdens where they can, it actually makes the weight lighter for both of them and that's what we're trying to do with you and that's what you're doing with us Pomme. You're shouldering a burden which is making it easier on your siblings, it's making it easier on everyone else, you know what that's called, Pomme? It's called love. That's when you love your family so much and you love your friends that you're willing to sacrifice to help them because you love them and you care about them, okay? So, you don't need to worry cuz we love you too, Pomme and we're going to keep you safe and hopefully you can help keep us safe and I just want to let you know we do appreciate it."

Pomme :"I will keep you safe, I would do anything so you all are safe

literally anything"

One of my eggie adopts! Open for bid on twitter, furaffinity, and discord! Info about them under the readmore... links to bid below!~

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50961558/ https://twitter.com/sourmagic/status/1624177262395330563?s=20

🌺 SO. Why bid on eggs? Well, let me tell you what you'll get! 🌺

These are what I call hatching adoptables. You buy an egg, and hold onto it.

Next month, it hatches! It's a cute little feral! You wait a little longer, roughly the same amount of time... and it evolves! It's now a full fledged person!

In addition, if the egg is bid above a certain price or bought at the Auto Buy price,

you will receive an additional image of your new character, nude!

Each image will be colored and simply shaded.

This is like buying a blind box or a mystery bag; you don't know what animal it will be, what sex it will be, or what it will look like, until it hatches and transforms!

Granted, once you buy it the character belongs to you- you can change its sex, gender, whatever you want for it after it's handed off to you.

The only thing I ask is that you credit me for my work. :)

✏️ TL:DR;✏️

Buy an egg, in a month you get it to hatch into a cute little animal, in another month it turns into a whole person!

If you pay over a certain amount, you also get a nude version of your new character!

🥚 How do you get an egg? 🥚

You bid on it on its auction post here on FurAffinity!

Or you can bid on it on Twitter or Discord, as the auction will be cross-posted.

The winner will receive the egg and the subsequent hatchling and full form in due time.

📋 Bidding Rules 📋

There will be a snipe guard for this auction.

If a bid is made within the final 30 minutes of the auction, the auction will be extended for 1 more hour.

When someone comments/bids, if you want to outbid them you must reply to their comment with your bid. Y'all know how auctions work! :D

This auction will be cross-posted, so I will reply to the latest bidder if someone on Twitter or Discord bids higher!

After a bid has been posted for 24 hours with no contest, that bidder will be the winner!

GRIAN AND SCAR TAKING CARE OF AN EGG ORA CLUTCH OF EGGS. Maybe it’s theirs maybe it’s not idk. I’m gonna be honest with you, I have this story idea sitting in my notes that’s been there for almost 2 weeks about trans avian grian having eggs instead of a wriggly little parasite worm baby, but I was mainly just coming up with ideas for how that would actually work out. Like I’m pretty sure I had written about broody and nesting behavior since he’s an avian, and like egg gestation being 5-6 months long (I was just making shit up at that point) and avian hybrid eggs hatch at about the same time a regular gestation ends (which for regular humans is like 8-9 months I’m pretty sure) but yah anyways broody grian not letting scar leave the nest and poor scar suffering in a sweltering hot nest covered in feathers that itch his skin :(

then EGGS!!!!!! sunny side up and scrambled eggs the eggs come and Grian is all broody but he’s got the lil eggies!!!!!! Grian and scar carry them around in lil chest slings to keep watch over them and keep them warm :>

Aww omg Anon this is SUPER CUTE and I would love to read this if you wrote it! I just love the thought of Grian forcing Scar to say down in their nest, and Scar is just whining like cmon its SO HOT your wings keep flopping over me making it EVEN HOTTER. and these feathers keep poking and itching! Poor poor Scar But he deals cuz he loves Grian sm! AND the other Ask you sent about the babies hatching and and the chirping SO FRIGGIN CUTE! Just Grian mother hening, chirping back and Scar is just :'D idk what youre saying but I love you, I love this.

enha for the ask game 🕺🕺🕺

🕺🕺🕺🕺

first bias:

sunghoon!

current bias(es):

sunoo <33 (and also jungwon 🐈)

album/era ranking:

title track only ranking: blessed-cursed -> drunk-dazed -> given-taken -> tamed-dashed -> future perfect (pass the mic)

full album/era ranking:

DIMENSION : ANSWER (+ DILEMMA) | tamed-dashed definitely isn't my favorite enha title ever, but blessed-cursed definitely is (or its one of them anyway), and since these albums both have some of my favorite ever enha b-sides (and enha songs in general) with answer being a repackage, i figured i could just join them! attention, please and go big or go home are two of my top songs off any enha album ever, and THEN answer added polaroid love, my top ever soft enha song, into the mix-- so yes, answer is definitely favorite album material! (i would have felt a little guilty putting dilemma lower JUST because of t-d when several of my favorite tracks would not exist without it KSGDJFH). the actual song aside, though, the CONCEPT of tamed-dashed and all the promotions, teasers, concept photos and etc before it were absolutely stunning (and i do still like tamed-dashed a lot-- it just ranks fairly low among the other enha titles)

BORDER : CARNIVAL | ABSOLUTE queen. not only does this album have drunk-dazed (my other top enha tt) as a title track, it has fever, not for sale, mixed up, AND one of the sickest enha concepts to date (that mv??? PLEASE.). this is a particularly potent one for me as it's when i really got into enhypen-- when i was really active in the community, when everyone was coming up with so many crazy theories about the lore and writing out equally-crazy "what-ifs".

BORDER : DAY ONE | honestly just a really gorgeous debut. i loved given-taken, and i loved let me in, 10 months, and flicker just as much. i feel like this era has gotten king of forgotten/overshadowed with everything enhypen has come out since then (which. valid), but it was such a nice intro to enhypen's whole deal (spoken affectionately)!

MANIFESTO : DAY 1 | still a fairly new era, so i might feel a bit different after letting it marinate a bit. this is, similar to something i mentioned in a previous ask for this ask game, yet another instance of me adoring literally every track in an album except for the title track. kpop. why. LDHFJFB i didnt hate future perfect or anything, but it felt significantly less... enhypen-y than usual. the b-sides, however? NOT SO. tfw and shout out very quickly climbed their way into my list of favorite ever enhypen songs along with foreshadow, and paradoxxx invasion, while less dramatically alternating to my life and mindset, was absolutely a bop. points deducted for not having shout out as the promoted bside tho (/j)

how i got into them:

i was on tumblr when, somehow, i followed one person who was in the "eggie family" (people watching i-land; called ourselves eggies because that entrance dome thing was shaped like an egg LMAO) and suddenly i was friends with like all of them. i wanted to be in on the i-land fun and i thought sunghoon was incredibly pretty so i downloaded viki and started watching it HDJFHFJ (altho i never got passed episode 8 because my phone died </3). i watched them debut as enhypen with given-taken, which slapped, then stuck around kind of casually until border: carnival came around, at which point i did the engene equivalent of falling into the ocean and drowning when previously id sort of just been sitting on the peer with my feet in the water. i fell irreversibly in love with sunoo and have been stuck here ever since!

who would be my best friend:

sunoo probably, or maybe jungwon (i chose my biases in this group according to how friend-shaped they were apparently). jay and/or jake also seem like pretty good bestie material!

things i associate with them:

vampires (and also just supernatural stuff in general) because of their lore, for sure. theres also a good number of songs i associate with their lore counterparts due to the abundance of theorizing and writing that happened circa border: carnival HSJFHFJ

Crosswords | Park Jaehyung

After waiting forever, Jae might be confessing to you this morning... Err, I mean, maybe. Amidst his constant egg related blabber and messy remarks about your lack of dating standards, it’s kinda hard to tell. 

|| M.List || Day6 ||

Protagonists: Park Jaehyung & You

Word Count: 2.2k

Genre: SFW | Romance | Confession – One Shot

Lys’ note: Just a lil’ something for other My Days while I’m busy renovating my future apartment this month. Enjoy, x

You flip the pages of the newspaper, looking for your precious crossword puzzle and the man across your kitchen island sighs deeply. Mindful of not tearing your eyes away from the paper and accidentally give him the attention he craves, you blindly reach for your pen.

“You ever think about the whole complex lexicon that’s related to eggs?”

He starts, just as your fingers finally wrap around the precious tool, but you purposely don’t respond. You learned a long time ago that’s the only way to perhaps get peace in the mornings when Jae’s over at your place. It’s the only downside to have him sleep over, but eventually, he’ll give up. Nickel, two letters. Tracing the letters ‘N’ and ‘I’ carefully in the puzzle, you see him wiggle on his stool from the corner of your eye, impatient.

"Like…"  Jae thinks for a moment, pushing his breakfast around with his fork. "Over Easy. Sunny Side Up. Soft Scrambled. Hard Scrambled?" When he pauses briefly, you feel his eyes study your concentration and he whines, like a two years old child not getting what he wants. Jae can't stand being ignored, especially not by you. "Poached? Basted. Over Medium… I think there's Over Hard too. AHH!" At his yelp, you almost fall back, and he exclaims, self-satisfied: "Omelette! I almost forgot that one, but I’m not sure if it’s relevant to the ‘eggs lexicon’… It’s more of a recipe, don’t you think?” He takes a sip of his coffee and you frown, unable to conjure up of the demonym for citizens of Cambridge because of his blabber. He’s awfully lively this morning for someone who came in so late. He’s like that sometimes when he has something else on his mind. Oh… That’s it. Jae has something to tell you and he’s trying to force small talk.

“So… Have you?”

“Have I what, Jae?” Giving up, you raise your head from the puzzle only to find him shrugging like it all doesn’t matter, even after his long monologue. You’ll never be able to finish the crossword if he keeps talking non-stop like that, and now you’re kind of curious.

"Think about the lexicon related to eating eggs?" Jae finally shoves a few scrambled eggs in his mouth, shutting up for a little while. "Since you don't eat any, I bet you didn't know that."

“Well, I do now." Looking back down at your crossword puzzle it's your turn to sigh, irked. "Thank you so much for that life-changing piece of information, Jae."

“You’re welcome.” He replies with a chuckle although he knows you’re being highly sarcastic.

“What’s an eleven letters word for ‘Annoying’?”

“Am I annoying you?”

“D-I-S-T-R-E-S-S-I-N-G”, you write slowly in the crossword as you spell it.

“Wow. Why are you always so harsh in the morning?” Jae carefully pushes your coffee mug closer as a peace offering. “Here, little goblin. Drink this magic potion, you’ll feel a lot better. You’ll turn into my favourite girl.” Your heart flutters, and not from the caffeine.

"What are people who live in Cambridge called?" You ask, drinking the black scorching liquid, not minding the bitterness.

“Are you gonna see Hyunki or what’s-his-name again?” Jae blurts that out of nowhere. Ah, now you’re getting to the core of his agitation. The first date you went on yesterday with a man you met at one of Jae’s gigs.

“Hyunbin." After freezing for half a second, you correct him patiently. Hopefully, he's testing the waters for a long overdue conversation. "Well, I dunno, we still haven't texted each other yet… He's probably gonna ghost me like every other guy out there."

“Cantabrigian," Jae answers your previous crossword question like it's nothing, mouth full of eggs. "Then why did you even agree to go out with him." His tone is more accusatory than inquisitive, something you don't miss.

“It fits!” Half-amazed, you squeal, writing the twelve letters word in the puzzle. “Hyunbin’s whipped for his cats. He even has a Catstagram for them.”

“I keep telling you, I’m smart in the mornings. Of course, it the right answer.” Jae snorts at your evident surprise, munching. “So what? You already have a cat. You don’t need another one.”

“So what? Everybody knows I’m whipped for guys who are whipped for cats. That’s my Krypto… Thingy.”

“Kryptonite? That’s the single dumbest thing you’ve said. Like… In the past three years that I’ve known you. And you say stupid stuff daily. Don't you have any criterias, standards, self-respect? That Hyunki's a douche."

“Hyunbin.”

Leaning back at the correction, Jae crosses his arms over his chest, an abnormal attitude that causes you to fully look up at him. You’re used to his hyperactivity; his stupid eggy monologues in the mornings; him listing his favourite 90s high profile power couples outside the bathroom while you’re trying to pee, but he rarely gets serious or talks about your dating life. Much like yourself if it’s not about your hopeless crush on him. He’s cute when he’s getting jealous, perhaps you are really having an important discussion this morning.

“Cats. Guys.” You raise two fingers to illustrate your point, wanting to know exactly where you can push him. “Those are my two criteria."

“Half the world fits those low standards.” Jae rolls his eyes back, exasperated. He raises his fingers in a similar fashion. “I’m a man and I’m whipped for your cat.”

Wow. This makes you pause, heartbeat accelerating. “Three days ago, you freaked out when he threw up on the carpet.”

“I’m eating.” Jae immediately reacts at the mention of the mess, making you laugh. He theatrically shuts both eyes and pushes his plate away.

“See? You’re just a guy friend who crashes at my place and freaks out when my cat barfs.” Smirking, you take a bite of your toast, voice so low he probably doesn’t even hear. That’ll do it.

“Doctor Mozzarella knows I love him despite my little hairball... Incapacity. He knows I’m whipped for him.”

At that, you laugh, Jaehyung didn't even love cats a year ago. He ranted about how "rude” your kitten was being to him for months after you adopted the timid stray. Nowadays, however, they seem to be in a committed relationship. Meaning your cat made a move on Jae way before you manage to do it, that little fucker. It's gotten way worse now that Jae's band has a regular gig at the pub on the corner of your street. You barely get to see your cat on the weekends anymore. He's always sleeping in your guest's room with him. At least every Friday and Saturday nights, the days when his band plays. It always ends around 3 am, which is why he crashes at your place so often, officially. Not that you’re complaining, it’s just that you secretly want them to sleep in your own bed...

“Fine, you’re both whipped for each other.” You admit, nodding your head towards Doctor Mozzarella, asleep on the stool next to Jae. Taking another bite of your toast to hide your thoughts, you wonder if Jae’s finally making a move on you. Because that’s your unofficial theory about why he's always over. For a while, you've been pretty sure he has a thing for you too. But God, the boy moves slowly... “So, what’s your point?”

“You need to raise the bar y/n, or you’ll always end up dating douches and complain about getting ghosted.” Jae stammers, laughing to cover his uneasiness. “I mean, even I fit your criteria!"

You put your elbows on the wooden table to stare at him, discarding your puzzle. Now he has your full attention, dating advice, really Jae? He’s the worst at dating, he only has music and his friends. You can’t believe he got through three years of friendship without saying anything, only to try to bring this up ‘casually’ over breakfast.

“You’re totally right.” You smile at him, discovering he can blush at least three shades darker.

“W-What?”

"About needing to raise the bar. I should start looking for a man who can at least bench my weight. You know? Someone really strong and reliable."

Jae pouts in distaste and wiggles again on his stool: “That’s the second dumbest thing you’ve ever said to me. You’d never date a gym rat.”

"I don't know…" You chuckle, enjoying the nervousness peeking under his usually cool and friendly exterior. "Then tell me, Jae, what kind of guy would you see me with?"

“I know someone…” He lowers his voice until it’s nothing but a murmur. “... Who can help you with your crosswords, you know? A guy who smart in the mornings...”

Your world stops for a moment there and you blink, waiting for everything to slide back in place but it doesn’t. You aren’t daydreaming. Jae’s still there, looking back at you, flushed and hopeful, decisively taking the plunge.

“Wow, then I am doomed.” You snort so awkwardly you startle yourself. Not cute, y/n. You waited years and now you’re totally freaking out. “Guys are never smart!”

“Ha-ha.” Jae snorts similarly in response and the tension in the room seems to decrease dramatically. Perhaps this is some sort of complex lexicon you’ve developed to communicate with one another. At least you’re both equally bad at handling touchy feelings. “What’s another word for ‘close by’?" He tries a different approach, clearing his throat. Jae taps his fingers on your puzzle like he's reading an actual clue aloud but it's probably just to avoid holding your eyes.

“Adjacent… Nearby… Familiar… Jaehyung?” You feign to think for a moment. “Weird, that doesn’t seem to fit anywhere in there.” Frowning you also stare at the newspaper’ crossword, unconvinced. You’re almost certain he can hear your heartbeat from across the counter. Still, Jae needs to man up if he has something to ask you. You want him to say something a bit more direct.

“Y/n.” He sighs, afraid you’re still not catching on. “You’re shitting me, right?”

“What’s another word for that’s long ‘overdue’ Jae?”

After a moment, his voice rings abnormally soft, at least now he knows you got it, "Is it too late?" You raise your eyes to meet his, worried. "Or just belated?” He diverts them to the kitchen window in avoidance. “I thought maybe it was just especially careful. Patient, wise… Sensible? Am I dumb at this?”

“Weird, these all seem to fit just right for me...” His gaze snaps up and you smile, weirdly nervous now. That’s still not a direct confession but at least it’s something.

"Right?" Jae's whole face lights up. "So, you'll, um... Adjust your criterias?"

You roll your eyes, taking a sip from your mug to get filled with the heaviness of the coffee. If you don’t, there’s a possibility you’ll fly away from your stool. All of these soaring butterflies in your stomach... “There’s only one person who fits my actual standards, Jae. I don’t think they need adjusting.”

"That's… Wow… Right." He exhales slowly, relieved, then pulls closer his plate of eggs that are probably cold by now. "Er- I mean, that's me, right? Are we cool? I needed a bit of time to think this through and be cautious, I guess. I’m sorry.” “Took you three years,” you tease, glad to put that all on him when you could’ve made a move sooner too. “Smooth.”

“Hey, I just wanted us to…” Jae frowns, giddy, “... go steady.”

You laugh, giving in to the wave of happiness building into you for the past five minutes.

“What? Don’t laugh at me!” Jae whines, laughing despite himself. “What’s so funny?”

“That’s the most Virgo thing you’ve ever said to me,” his nose scrunches at the mention of his sign, disapproving, but you’re still giggling like a fool, “and you say Virgo things all the-”

“Don’t say it” Jae groans in despair, “What was that ‘annoying’ word again?”

“Distressing.”  

“Yeah, well it’s no wonder you get ghosted all the time.”

“Wow.” When you lose the smile he grins awkwardly, trying to appeal to your better side. “Seriously, Jae?”

“Too soon?”

“You should know that if you ever ghost me after all this time, I’ll kill you.”

“Oh, I know.” Jae smiles, staring at his eggs like they’re something precious. “It’s one of the things I love about you.”

Your heart skips a beat and your eyes flutter to the crossword puzzle on the kitchen table. Did Jae really just say that? Not a joke. He didn’t use the word fancy, or like, or enjoy, or adore… Love... That’s unlike him, very direct. You bite your lips, feeling your whole face start to burn. Guess he doesn’t plan on being so evasive anymore.

He clears his throat, clearly as flustered as you by his wording: “Any other Crossword problems I can help you with?”

“Sure,” releasing your lips, you smirk, “what’s another word to say, ‘you should properly ask me out’?”

"Oh", Jae laughs loudly, sounding more like the friend you know, "I think I need more than a single word for that!"

GUY ADAMS: scramble-brained boffins say eggs theyre secret killers

At my prep school in the Eighties, we got hard-boiled eggs for breakfast every Sunday. The cook, a ruddy-cheeked woman with forearms like hams, would produce vats of the things, swimming in lukewarm water, which she’d plonk on the serving hatch along with a slotted spoon for fishing them out.

We’d load our plates, wait for the housemaster’s back to be turned, and then see how many we could fit inside our mouths at once (four was the record, I think). The trick was then to chew and swallow the things without laughing, which would cover the table in eggy shrapnel.

On weekdays, the eggs came scrambled, or fried, sometimes both, morning (on toast) and night (with gammon and chips). Delicious, they were, with just a twist of salt and dollop of Heinz ketchup.

As the years went by, I continued my love affair with the egg, averaging at least three or four per day for most of my adult life and getting through boxes and boxes of the things every time Bake Off comes on telly and I become fleetingly obsessed with biscuits, pies and cakes.

Down the pub, I take them pickled and shaken in a bag of salt and vinegar crisps, ideally washed down with Weston’s Old Rosie, the cider of choice in my native Monmouthshire. 

On picnics, they have to be dipped in celery salt. For breakfast, my preference is fried and sandwiched in sourdough. Lord knows how many silk ties I’ve stained in the process.

Last summer, in an attempt to cut the family’s spiralling grocery bills, I even decided to become a backyard egg farmer, acquiring half a dozen Burford Browns from the local poultry man and getting a trendy igloo-shaped henhouse made from recycled plastic off the internet. It has an automatic door that opens every morning and closes at night.

Last summer, in an attempt to cut the family’s spiralling grocery bills, I even decided to become a backyard egg farmer

Each morning, one of my three kids will clamber over the garden fence in a dressing gown to see how many our flock has laid.

At this time of year, with spring in the air, the girls are especially productive, and we’re getting half a dozen per day, or more than 40 each week. 

They all get eaten, too: meal times chez Adams are a blur of pancakes and Yorkshire puddings, omelettes and frittatas, dippy eggs and soldiers, plus glorious meringue and home-made gelato for pudding. If we build up a backlog, my wife will use them in a cake.

Eggs, rich and buttery, with the deepest orange yolks you only really find when they come from home-reared hens, are the staple of our diet. 

So imagine the concern I felt this weekend at news that this most glorious and versatile of foods ought to be banished from daily shopping baskets, according to the latest preachy edict from the public health lobby.

To blame is a research project published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which claims those of us who eat two or three eggs per day raise our risk of dying prematurely by a third, and increase our risk of heart attack or stroke by 27 per cent.

The findings are supposedly based on a study of 30,000 adults, carried out over 30 years.

Others disagree, pointing out that correlation doesn’t always equal causation: people who eat two eggs a day could be consuming them as part of gut-busting fry-ups

According to the report’s author, Norrina Allen, they are probably explained by the fact that eggs (and particularly their yolks) boast a relatively large amount of cholesterol, which has been linked to heart disease.

Others disagree, pointing out that correlation doesn’t always equal causation: people who eat two eggs a day could be consuming them as part of gut-busting fry-ups.

It could therefore be inordinate quantities of artery-clogging sausage and bacon rather than eggs that’s causing problems. Or they could just tend to be greedier, and more sedentary.

Whatever’s going on, eggs, and their supposedly high cholesterol levels, have from time to time faced the sort of regulatory demonisation you’d expect to apply to cigarettes and hard liquor.

A decade ago, for example the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre decided to ban an attempt to resurrect the egg industry’s famous Fifties TV advert, starring comedian Tony Hancock, which had the tagline: ‘Go to work on an egg.’ Apparently, such advice wasn’t ‘nutritionally sound’.

Whatever’s going on, eggs, and their supposedly high cholesterol levels, have from time to time faced the sort of regulatory demonisation you’d expect to apply to cigarettes and hard liquor

The same preachy little quango more recently decided to ban an advert for a special type of Omega 3-rich egg in which children sing the nursery rhyme ‘Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me’, on similar grounds.

Last month, meanwhile, eggs were deemed verboten by London Underground, which forced a trendy organic food supplier to crop them from a billboard advert. The ludicrous move was blamed on cholesterol content making them ‘non-compliant’ with Mayor Sadiq Khan’s nannyish ban on junk food adverts. 

Paranoia about cholesterol in eggs has been doing the rounds for years with suggestible law-makers buying into it. And like most dietary scares, it originated it the U.S.

After World War II, and particularly the high-profile death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who suffered from heart disease, American doctors began fretting about the apparent rise of coronary problems.

Things got worse in the Eighties, when Edwina Currie wrongly declared most eggs in shops were infected with salmonella, causing a scare that saw a 60 per cent overnight fall in sales

They swiftly noticed a link between cholesterol levels in a patient’s blood and the risk of heart problems and, as a result, decreed that people should dramatically reduce the amount of cholesterol in foods they eat, setting a limit at 300mg per day.

For eggs, this presented a serious problem: each yolk contains around 200mg of the stuff. As a result, eggs were condemned to the nutritional version of the naughty step. 

Things got worse in the Eighties, when Edwina Currie wrongly declared most eggs in shops were infected with salmonella, causing a scare that saw a 60 per cent overnight fall in sales, forcing farmers to kill four million hens, and leading to her resignation as junior health minister.

It wasn’t until the following decade that the egg’s PR image began to recover, after researchers noticed something called the ‘Spanish Paradox’.

After World War II, and particularly the high-profile death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who suffered from heart disease, American doctors began fretting about the apparent rise of coronary problems

In simple terms, this phenomenon revolved around the fact that Spanish people were consuming roughly a third more cholesterol than they had done in the Sixties, but levels of heart disease had declined over the same period.

With this in mind, scientists soon begin to question whether a diet high in cholesterol really did raise the level of the stuff in one’s blood, as their predecessors had assumed.

A host of subsequent studies then showed that eggs (which boast 13 essential nutrients, including B vitamins and vitamin A) might actually improve, rather than harm, one’s health.

These continue to be published to this day. In January, for example, the University of Eastern Finland found that eating an egg a day decreases the risk of type 2 diabetes. 

Recent years have therefore seen a welcome boom in the popularity of eggs, with around 13 billion consumed in the UK

And last year, a study of half a million Chinese people, published in the journal Heart, found that moderate egg consumption was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular problems.

Recent years have therefore seen a welcome boom in the popularity of eggs, with around 13 billion consumed in the UK.

They have been particularly feted by ‘influencers’ such as Meghan Markle, who in her pre-Royal days waxed lyrical about how she likes to bake the things in half an avocado, and in a magazine interview once cited an omelette with herbs and toast as her preferred breakfast.

Slimmers meanwhile like the fact that eggs are high in protein, which makes them filling without being too fattening (each one contains just 75 calories, roughly the same as a banana)

Before their marriage collapsed, Nigella Lawson even revealed that her then-husband Charles Saatchi had lost 4st in nine months by following an ‘egg-only’ diet first popularised in the Seventies consisting of three for breakfast, three for lunch, and three for supper. Or 63 eggs a week.

If the journal of the American Medical Association is to be believed, Mr Saatchi was, of course, placing his health at serious risk. But perhaps, like many a consumer, he simply decided listening to medical advice is a mug’s game, when that advice changes dramatically from year to year.

In other words, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with going to work on an egg.

       How to tell if an egg is fresh

Tell if Your 'Expired' Eggs Are Still Good to Eat

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

A lot of people rely on the date on the packaging to tell them when food has gone bad, even with eggs, but the sell-by dates are often somewhat arbitrary and are not expiration dates. If you've been tossing your eggs based on the dates on your carton—you could be wasting perfectly good food.

Eggs are often still good to eat long after the date on the packaging says to throw them out. If you want to test how fresh they are before finding out the hard way, here are a few methods for testing them.

Your eyes and nose are the best tools for determining freshness with meats, produce and herbs — it's pretty obvious when something's moldy or smelly. But you can't smell and see an egg before you crack it (unless you're highly skilled), so how do you tell if it's still good?

The Best Method for Uncracked Eggs: The Float Test

Just fill a bowl with cold water and place your eggs in the bowl. If they sink to the bottom and lay flat on their sides, they're very fresh. If they're a few weeks old but still good to eat, they'll stand on one end at the bottom of the bowl. If they float to the surface, they're no longer fresh enough to eat.

While you could fry or scramble an egg that's on its side or standing upright, when it comes to hard-boiling, you'll want the upright ones, as Yumi points out in her guide to peeling hard-boiled eggs. The extra air in the older eggs will help the peel come off easier after hard boiling.

Below, you can see what a really old egg looks like in comparison to really fresh one. The one on the left is most likely 3 or more months old (from when it was laid, not the date you bought them).

To give you an idea of hold old an egg is, look at the "packed by" dates on the carton, which are in Julian date form by the "sell by" dates. Julian dates range from 1 to 365 days, and since most companies pack their eggs shortly after being laid, it's a good indicator.

Why the Float Test Works So Well

The reason this method works is that the eggshells are porous, which means they allow some air to get through. Fresh eggs have less air in them, so they sink to the bottom. But older eggs have had more time for the air to penetrate the shells, so they're more buoyant and will float.

Other Ways to Test Uncracked Eggs

Some people also claim you can hold an egg up to your ear and shake it to test for freshness. If you can hear liquid sloshing sound inside the egg, it's probably gone bad, but if you hear nothing, it's fine to eat. Personally, though, I don't think this method is as reliable.

Additionally, there is the candling method, which is used primarily for testing egg quality before they're sold, but it could help determine freshness too, though it's more difficult to see at later stages.

You can put a flashlight right next to the eggshell to light up the insides, but historically, a piece of cardboard with a small hole in it was used, with a light source behind it and the egg in front.

The above method will let you see the air space and mold, but it's really a difficult technique to get down.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Above you can see a fresh egg (little air space, slightly visible yolk), a slightly old egg (larger air space, slightly darker yolk), a nearly bad egg (really dark yolk, spotty), and a spoiled egg (mixed in yolk, lots of dark), lit up using the candling technique. If you want to see inside your eggs more often, try out this LED egg candle light — it's made to check if an egg is fertilized if you're into that.

The Best Method for Cracked Eggs: The Plate & Sniff Test

If you don't need the shell intact, you can also crack the egg onto a plate or other flat surface to test how fresh it is. If it's fresh, the yolk should be bright yellow or orange, and the white shouldn't spread much. If you're not sure, give it a good sniff: fresh eggs shouldn't have much of a smell at all.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

The yolk will be flatter and the white will be much runnier in an older egg. An egg that spreads out when cracked isn't necessarily bad, though, just older (and again, good for hard-boiled eggs). If it's gone bad, you probably won't even needto do the sniff test—even slightly rotten eggs will have a very strong, distinct smell you'll notice right away.

What to Do with Eggs That Expire Soon

Got a bunch of eggs that are going to go bad before you can use them? Hard-boil them and throw them in a jar with a beet brine to make tangy, delicious, and beautifully purple pickled eggs.

There are also lots of things you can do with those discarded eggshells, like make your teapot super clean, fertilize soil, and make sidewalk chalk. And don't forget about those leftover egg cartons, which make good seed and fire starters, bird feeders, and candle-making molds.

If You Want to Know What Clouds Taste Like, Try Making The Mini Soufflé Omelette from "Food Wars!"

Ok, ok, if you've been reading this blog for awhile, you'll know I hate eggs. However, I'm determined to turn a new leaf. Just two months ago I ate a boiled egg that was in some soup my mom made. I was very proud of myself. When a commenter asked me to make the Soufflé Omelette from Food Wars!, I thought I would give it a try because it just looks so fluffy and yummy. 

  Luckily for all of us, this omelette really isn't all the hard to make, as long as you don't mind taking a few extra steps over what a typical omelette requires. And, bonus, the extra effort really pays off. I'll go ahead and say that I took a bite of this omelette (only one bite- this is a big improvement for me) and was really shocked at how good it was. It's fluffy and bouncy, and reminded me a lot of the texture of my grandma's pancakes (ultra fluffy). She leavened her cakes with whipped egg white, so that would account for the texture and taste, but while I wasn't a fan of my grandmother's pancakes, I like the texture and taste in the omelette. It's contrasted greatly be a fantastic tomato sauce which grounds the eggy flavor and provides a complexity the texture of the omelette lacks. 

      I was hestitant to make this, forgetting for a moment my hatred of eggs, because I know a lot of people online have done it. However, I couldn't find a video version that faithfully recreated the recipe or showed all the steps, so what you'll find in my tutorial below is a complete how-to, from start to finish. I have to say, watching a bunch of other people make it online made me worried- they made it look so easy!! We all know how that goes- the easier it looks online, the harder it's sure to be when you try it in person, right? Shockingly, this was not the case with this omelette. The thing that is going to trip most people up is the egg white/ egg yolk scenario, so I'll explain a little why you should do what I show you in the video below.

  The key to making this omelette like a soufflé is all in the airiness of the omelette. To get air into something, you have to beat it (into submission) until the egg whites stiffen up and hold shape- they shouldn't slide out if you tip the bowl upside down. However, you can't just throw an egg in a bowl and blend it up. The first obstacle would be the shell- no one wants to eat that! (Haha) Even if you remove the shell, and don't seperate the white and the yolk, you'll run into a problem. Egg yolk doesn't hold air in the same way whites do (it has to do with protein structure of the yolk), so you'll get more air into the overall batter if you seperate the two, prepare them seperately, and then fold them together in the end. Then comes the problem of keeping the air in. Once you add the yolk, you're on a timer. You've got to get that mixture in the pan as soon as possible, or the bubbles will start to break and it will devolve into a regular, un-whipped egg mixture. It'll still make a nice omelette, but it won't be fluffy. Once you lose the fluff, you can't get it back without starting over so I'd caution you to work in small batches! No more than four eggs at a time. I made a batter with 6 eggs and found it started to seperate too quickly.

    Finally, whenever I do something from Food Wars! I like to question whether or not it would actually be possible to make this recipe on the scale Soma did, while staying true to the recipe. Soma had to serve up 200 plates and based on my experience with this recipe, this might just be BARELY possible... if he's a super human. Soma has to make 28 batches of omelettes, at around 7 omelettes per batch, all in thirty minutes. This means he has to whip the eggs, fold in the yolk mixture, pouring in the batter, and flip and serve the omelettes at a rate of ~7 per minute. 

  Now, Soma has tons of experience in a diner, where omelettes are pretty typical faire- so he's got experience there. His sauce was already prepared, taking out an extra step. Egg whites take a bit of time to whip up, but if he did a lot at once and just mixed the yolk with it when he was ready, I can see that working out. Flipping the omelette into the air and catching it, perfectly folded on a plate??? I don't know about that, but I'll chalk it up to main character powers. And his aforementioned skills making omelettes. He has a lot going for him, but even so....he has to dish up 7 omelettes per minute, not counting all the prep work he's also doing. I just don't think this is possible for one man alone in the kitchen. Only in anime. 

   Watch the video below for more details on how to make this dish!

        Ingredients for Mini Soufflé Omelette:

  2 eggs per omelette

Salt

Pepper

Olive Oil

2 Tbsp cream for every 2 eggs

1 can diced tomatoes

1 garlic clove

1/4 cup red wine

Fresh parsley

      To Make Mini Soufflé Omelette:

  1. Finely chop the parsley for a garnish. Set aside. Finely chop or grate garlic clove. Set aside.

  2. Open the can of diced tomatoes. Over low heat, warm up some olive oil in a pot, and dump in the garlic, letting it just warm through, about 30 seconds (don't let it burn!!! Too high heat will kill it right away, as will leaving it on too long.)

  3. Dump in tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer away, about 2-3 minutes. 

  4. Add in the wine, and continue to stir and simmer, another 2 minutes. Take off the heat, and set aside somewhere warm. 

  5. Separate egg whites from yolks. To the yolks, add cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk together. Set aside.

  6. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, whip the whites until stiff peaks form, about 5-8 minutes. 

  7. Gently, fold in the whisked egg yolk mixture. 

  8. Heat a pan on medium. Grease the bottom with a little butter. 

  9. When ready, ladle in the egg mixture. Smooth out gently, and let cook one minute. Then, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook another two minutes. 

  10. To plate, scoot the omelette to the edge of the pan, and shuffle onto a plate. Flip over half of the omelette as you take it out of the pan. 

  11. Top with the tomato sauce, and garnish with parsley. Eat immediately!
